I too have a Cheri guitar, and it puzzles me, since I have played a lot of guitars (strats, Les Pauls etc), and this guitar plays far far better than anything i have played before. When i search online, all I can find is the models that look exactly like the standard tele, and are generally speaking relatively cheap. This is the guitar i have, I would love to know more about it. I got it in about 1999 second hand, cant remember the price now, but it was worth every penny. In fact my guitar teacher who owned several "quality" guitars was going to buy it but let me have it instead. Anyways here is the pic, if someone could let me know anything at all about it, as all i know is that they made cheap copies, but this guitar doesnt fit that profile at all.
