[Grant Gross]

Nice looking git-fiddle.

 

[Help!I'maRock!]

Top one looks nicer. Kinda meh on Michael Kelly though.

 

[reverend1]

I'm sure they are nice guitars, but they look like coffee tables.

 

[Dogsinplastic]

I almost like it lot...but not quite.

Brown(ish) bodied Teles with rosewood boards make me think of Page's Knebworth Tele...which I love.

Here it is in action:

 

[ellengtrgrl]

Not bad, but I think I'll stick with my 60s Baja Tele.

 

[GDSmithTX]

Those look super-nice, and I'm kind of lusting after one or two of the Strat-styles they have https://www.michaelkellyguitars.com/en/custom-collection

 

[baimun]

I can't help but think those weigh 10 pounds a piece.

 

[Guitar Heel]

I can't help but think those weigh 10 pounds a piece.

With a swamp ash body, it could go either way.

I think it's nice-looking, but not of interest to me. I dig the pickup combo for sure.

 

[CBHScott]

I've played similar MKs, and they are pretty good for the price.

 

[LeftyTom]

Noice!

 

[wagdog]

It's very nice. Like. Want.

 

[gtrjunior]

Although I don't care for this particular finish type, I do really like the MK 1953 line. For the price they seem like a great value. All the materials used are the same or similar to any Fender or G&L.
And every review I've read or watched on YouTube were nothing but positive.

 

[Flamencology]

Lovely. A telecaster that's been stripped of pretty much everything that's great about telecasters.

 

[Hubert Stumblin]

Yeah, they're a little too refined for Teles for my taste. Plus without single coils, what's the point?

 

[bsman]

Yeah, they're a little too refined for Teles for my taste. Plus without single coils, what's the point?

To which Pete says "piss off, mate!"

 

[gtrjunior]

Yeah, they're a little too refined for Teles for my taste. Plus without single coils, what's the point?

I do like the G&L Bluesboy with the bucker in the neck but yeah, a tele needs a single coil in the bridge.

 

[Pine Apple Slim]

Yea, kinda nice, but needs some tele pickups.
