«  False telecaster. Well yes, but ... »

Published on 08/24/13 at 08:26
Beautiful guitar neck 24 frets quality and finish. Too late?
Two humbuckers spittables giving 5 positions (was it really necessary?). Three positions Fender telecaster: simplicity and efficiency.

UTILIZATION

The neck is super great but ultimately I enjoy much with a telecaster which has a thicker handle yet.
The top c my reissue 62 statocaster which has a thinner than the standard telecaster U.S. but larger than the Ibanez (c ideal compromise for me) run.

SOUNDS

I think there are imbalances between different mic positions but what led me to change the sound that c is not too much personality. Sounds (live in lamps amp) lack of color and warmth.
So rather than change the pickups I decided to sell it to buy a telecaster (real) U.S. standard 90s with maple neck.
Frankly there's nothing to see. Fender sound is beautiful, warm color that I have not found this Ibanez too cold for my taste.
Considering the price I think the sound is poor.

OVERALL OPINION

1 year of use. In home very correct (8/10) but only 5/10 live on my tube amp Egnater renegade studio.
And 4/10 for my pedalboard. So my set of pedals sounds like hell with my 62 reissue stratocaster (and now my telecaster) as it did not sound with this Ibanez.
She is very beautiful either! But an instrument is made to produce beautiful and warm tones (this is only my opinion).
And for me it did not!
