«  A nice gift »

Nothing to say, it's a good shovel. So either I came across an exception, or they were able to offer a very good violin at a very reasonable price. I got it by exchanging it against a violin with a friend who wanted to get started.
The violin is robust, just enough precision and it is already very important! However, I did change three things: a 3-ply pickguard that I found prettier, mechanical (Arf!) And a metal jack plate. Recently I changed the pickups.

UTILIZATION

This guitar has a great handle and what it takes to attract aficionados Telecaster. There is also this strange peculiarity specific to Tele: in "crunch" mode on the amp (tube, Blues Deluxe) when you lower your volume, the sound does not change: you just have the same crunch, weaker . This is especially obvious with the bridge pickup.

SOUNDS

The twang is discreet, and you'd better be very familiar with your amp, because the sound can quickly turn into a "phony" if you use it on an amp that you do not know. To remedy this, I removed the original pickups and Chinese is installed Hot Classics TRT2 made in the USA and there it is much better! Cheaper than DiMarzio or Duncan, but they work very well. My favorite seller malignant (Epernay) made me a true marvel for cheap!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it every day, it's my guitar work. I also took him to jam from time to time, and it is what I choose when frankly have to play rock'n'roll.
