Just gave my Mexican Telecaster a play through my Fender Super Twin amp, and it sounds really good through it, nice and fat without any tendency towards ice-pickiness, the "Twang" is still there though, really good setup for playing Blues, I was pretty surprised, I read an online review of the 2014 Fender Mexican Telecaster that said that the sounds are a bit bland and boring, I actually didn't find that to be the case at all for my Mexican Telecaster, I think I must have been lucky and managed to get one that's made from some nice pieces of wood, checked out the specs for the 2014 Fender Mexican Standard Telecaster and found out that the neck is indeed Maple and the body is solid Alder, this combination of woods is becoming my favorite for Fender guitars.
The stock pickups seem to be wound a bit hotter than standard Telecaster pickups, the tone seems to be really close to the tone you get with Tonerider Hot Classics Tele pickups except that the Hot Classics seem to be a hair brighter to my ears, but not by much.
