Idem, vibrato more "deluxe" would not be too many.

UTILIZATION

Same, it is pleasant, soft handle and comfortable.
A bit heavy, though. It wins a guitar!
The battery lasts quite a long time in the preamp.

SOUNDS

It takes a little force himself, and delve into the preamp settings (VSC). In passive mode, I find the pickups a little "catch-all", without much personality.

After some research, I give you my preferences for the VSC (rear, with battery):
Boost Medium (left): Noon to 2 hours maximum
Treble and Bass Boost (middle and right): bottom!

So it looks in action, a boost-acute severe (joystick up) very slamming, is reminiscent of a telecaster, especially on the neck pickup;
medium and a perfect boost for a bonus of potatoes, to saturate the amplifier faster. Personally, I recommend not to go too far in the boost setting medium, beyond 2 hours, I think its a little too rough.

Certainly there is a humbucker, but it does not distort the spirit of the guitar in clear, do not expect to have a Les Paul sound with this deluxe texas.
And try this guitar in a nice tube amp, you will be disheveled.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had it about 5 years, the varnish of the head begins to age, it holds the road well. A little heavy attention to the prosecution if it escapes you hands. (Attention and varnish).
A real bomb, it outperforms (instrument making, finishing, electronics) the fender "cheaper".

With proper adjustment of the handle, the height of the pickups, strings adapted to your way of playing (or nag velvet glove), and especially the VSC settings that suit you and please you, this guitar is a treat (playing comfort ).

A small point though: the finish "perloid" the pickguard does not please me ... matter of taste!
