It was listed on FB Marketplace and I figured at that price a even a Squier was a good deal. I also wanted to compare it to a Xaviere(?) Tele that I bought in 2016. Shapes and weights and sounds. That Xaviere is like a lead weight.
I noticed but didn't pay much attention to the ... grain on the fingerboard. I guess I'll look at it closer.
I like it especially for me. Inexpensive and looks nice. And since my cat is the only one that has to listen to me play that's all I need.

I've found that a cheap Tele with traditional tele pickups sounds, well, like a Tele. If you do want to do some substantive but budget upgrades...
-Bone nut (since nuts are almost always an area the playability and tuning stability can be improved with)
-Tonerider Hot Classics Tele pickup set (just an all around good set for rock and country with meatier neck pickup for TX blues)
