USE

the handle is very nice as the up line telecaster, the frets are not prominent but well polished and finished, the varnish is brushed on the handle, shiny and smooth button = a treat! side access to acute and balance it's not a show

SOUNDS

then with microphones Custom Shop that comes finish the praise I did before.
in clean is happiness, the range is really wide with the tone that does not overwrite the medium. with a little crunch or even distortion of this shipment, the blues and rock (not hard) rings without problems, there is the sound.
Vox AC15 and played on Mesa Boogie Studio 22+

Tele U.S. standard so everything is standard I leave you to the literature of web

UTILIZATION

his strong point: an ultra easy handle, late, great access, it's always weird to go from strat to the TV, it always seems to be faster on the TV.
it is a bit heavy but hey nothing dramatic.
I do not know why Fender strives to deliver his guitars in 9/42, even though the anchors and colors that do not always talk to ... but overall a TV, it plays better on tie a little harder this is a guitar that should therefore slams into him!

SOUNDS

My TV has long been connected to a Hot Rod ... and I've always been frustrated because of screaming treble made, it is true that television is a guitar that beats faster in the high mids and I found that the combination VOX / TV sounded better, a more compressed bit rounder ... TV is my favorite machine funky casserole!

OVERALL OPINION

Me, it is my Heart Guitar, less versatile and less tolerant than my strat, it's still a great guitar clear sound saturated, she left for planif keep playing it but I hope to make it re- back in my rig soon

Or the manufacturer site for specs.
To summarize, this is one of the oldest solidbodies, in a version that has adapted to the passing of time

UTILIZATION

The handle is an example of ergonomics. For me, the perfect shape, not too thick or too thin. Skiing is perfect with a very fine polish.
My only complaint is the glossy varnish key. This does not shock the touch, but visually I think it misses the mark.
Weight: 3.6 kg. Perfect for my taste, and very well balanced. Live dates 3 hours without back pain! Especially as cutting stomach is a blessing for me (as it seems to be a heresy to the purists).
But anyway, I think a purist of the tv is not supposed to move to the standard range.
Here we are in the modern tv, it sounds clean, it holds tuning, it is easy to play. Nevertheless, this does not mean sterile, there is always so much fun to get him in, because I must admit, a tele, it's like this ...
Small precision: the guitar is very resonant, which bodes well for as the question of its.
Finally here, the guitar is perfectly finished, the new SKB case for me is the top of the box guitar, it seems indestructible, it closes perfectly and is very well done inside.

SOUNDS

I play mainly rock broadly, and I found that I was THE guitar.
After extensive standard 2006 Tele tried a friend, I fell for the specs of the 2012, and I do not regret my choice. It sounds as good or better than the 2006, it has more sustain (it resonates most is probably linked ...), and it is more lightweight and comfortable (thank you cut).
I will not detail the typical sound that everyone knows.
Just this standard, the sound is divine, very clean (no buzz, parasite), very defined and devilishly dynamic. And at all levels of gain, which few can boast guitar.
It is a treat to any self-respecting good amp.
I play guitar in a Marshall 2061X head and a Tiny Terror, and 2 amps fit him like a glove.

OVERALL OPINION

You guessed it, I love this guitar.
I ordered it in black / maple neck, and I replaced the pickguard for a black (tone on tone, the coup). It is beautiful, comfortable, light, and sounds of hell ... What else?
