«  What happiness! »

Made in Japan
Strat body, maple neck Tele, Strat 70's easel
21 frets, 1 microphone in texas special neck and a humbucker in bridge splittable Enforcer
1 volume knob switch with push / pull to split the humbucker
1 button 3 positions selector micro
No dial tone, this is the only small complaint we had to

UTILIZATION

Besides its look beautiful blonde with black pickguard and confusing at first glance (what a body with a strat neck TV? Ah yeah this is actually simpa!), Ease of use is perfect for me. The handle is a real treat and I find it quite fast and very accurate, it's simple I seem to have progressed in a second as soon as I take after playing with one of my other guitars (though not ridiculous: a gibson les paul and a fender strat special Billy Corgan U.S.).
Ergonomics of a strat, ie nickel, access to the classic acute.
We easily obtain the desired sound.
Only gripe on use: it is not necessarily easy to quickly switch to the bridge pickup in humbucker split at the end of a solo, for example because you have to pull hard enough on the volume knob.

SOUNDS

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh sound!! So I say yes yes and yes!
I was looking to start a telecaster to complete my set of guitars (with a les paul and a strat), especially for the single coil twang of the bridge. Having tried a few, my luthier me out and it says "try it you'll see ..." me "mouai this is not a real tv plus it is not a tele bridge and it is a humbucker, I'm not say much ..." Even when I try and there thunderbolt! I started well on the Enforcer in the bridge split single coil and voila the twang I was looking for! I run the Can not Stop the riff red hot with a lil crunch amp and I frusciante sound! Ok, push the lil button to switch to humbucker and launch a lil solo wow, it sends it right!
Texas special in the neck is a pleasure also for blues, great, more mellow but still banging the same time, I love it!
In short you will understand, I love all the sounds that come out of this guitar, it has a real personality.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had two months and I do not spend more, live Japan, manufacturing quality and the violin for me have nothing to envy my American, just a pity that there was not a 22nd freight but it is really to quibble.
Both versatile guitar but has a great personality.
Great for rock, blues, funk, reggae and even intermediate position.
The satus pass can be fine without going to the big metal but it is not its purpose.
Unbeatable value for money (currently € 400 at thomann), at this price it's really a gift for that quality.
If I lose, I will order again in a heartbeat!
