surfy « My Telecaster »
Published on 12/12/11 at 14:02It's a Telecaster made in Indonesia.
Body "Swamp ash", maple neck, rosewood fingerboard.
The two pickups are G & L made in United States
3 position knob, tone, volume.
Very good wood, microphones US, precise adjustments and simple ...
Note that unlike the Fender Telecaster "vintage", there are 6 bridges (one for each string) and not 3.
The factory was good but of course I have a little more suited to my taste.
UTILIZATION
Aesthetically, it's a Telecaster with a superb color Walnut (Walnut) makes it clearly shows the wood (which I like very much). The color is slightly red, she is gorgeous with its black pickguard.
The finish is satin, that is, we hit a smooth wood without feeling "plastic" of some polyurethane finish too strong. I like the feel of wood in my hand. on the other hand bear she wear? Time will tell.
Everything is really well done. The lifts are super quality (no detuning untimely despite the bends), absolutely no manufacturing defect (it was one of my fears, but no complaints). The knobs, selector and input jack are rugged and "oil bath". When you turn the knobs, there are nuances, not like some models where we spend all for nothing.
It weighs his weight with his body full of ash, but it is perfectly balanced. Access to acute care is free.
The handle is nice profile "C". I am not 10 as freight may have their edges a little smoother, but it's really to quibble ...
SOUNDS
So I see you come: Is it "twank"??
Well my friends, it really twank. A true Telecaster sound. I have not much compared, but it has great sound.
I am amazed by the quality of the pickups: the neck pickup is deep and powerful, the micro acute twank wish. the two combined work wonders.
I guess we can do even more defined, but in this price range is really quite amazing.
I never tire of this deep and rich. The three positions are used, which is rare.
I played on a cube Laney 12R (15w tube), marriage is very appropriate because the Laney respects the sound of the guitar (Note that I sold my Vox AC4TV too loud, too fat, too abrupt with this guitar)
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for a month, and this is my telecaster. Unable to pay me an American, I compared long hesitated a lot and I do not really regret my choice.
It's real beautiful wood, microphones US of incredible quality. I think to compete and do better, it may be necessary to put three times the price, but I really do not see why I would do that.
To all those who seek a Telecaster in € 500, I recommend it.
