Fazley FYL200BSB-M Buttercup
Having been looking for a cheap telecaster copy to modify I came across the Buttercup at half price, only £79! I looked at the spec and read the reviews and had to buy it. It arrived in a couple of days impeccably packed and I checked it over carefully. The description of the colour by Bax was Butterscotch Blonde but it is more of a mustardy colour, but not unattractive. The paint application was perfect, the matt finished neck needed no adjustment, the binding was spot on and the weight was as expected. The frets were nicely finished without any sharp ends but the 22nd fret around the top E wasn't seated properly(easily solved). After tuning and bedding in the strings I checked the intonation and didn't have to change anything. The string heights needed slight adjustment and I think I may need to shim the neck a little to get it perfect. The nut is a plastic item but appeared to have set up nicely. Plugging in to my amp the controls all worked as I expected and the pickups sounded as you would expect Chinese ceramic items to sound but the sustain was quite good. Undoing the control panel you find the usual cheap small pots and 3 way switch etc. I am about to upgrade the control panel, the bridge and a 6 saddle unit and put in Alnico 5 pickups. Later I may replace the machine heads but they are okay for now. All in all this is a brilliant guitar especially for a beginner or for modifying into an even better guitar for little cost.
