The guitar was made in Japan between 1975 and 1980. She has a pitch of 658mm with 21 frets, the neck is maple varnished (it's a flat half round), and the body color sunburst (other than black is replaced by the color Teac). The settings have the volume and 2 tone controls, and a 5-way switch, which allows for mixes sound very interesting intermediate for the particular timbre.
It is almost like a Strato (entry level), even in the details.

UTILIZATION

The handle is a feast of comfort, and it never frieze, no matter what you play. Access to acute is free and playable. In terms of ergonmie, it has the same advantages and failure of his model, nice, comfortable, and heavy. It's easy to get a sound, Flyod, Dire Straits, Clapton etc. ..
It really is a resemblance to her older sister, for against, not seeking his Santana, ACDC, or guitar boogie, this is not a G. .. n! or a Telecaster!

SOUNDS

I made the ride / rock, so it is what I do, I use a pedal and a Line POD6 XT Fender amp Comb FM212R.
The sound is clear, if crystalline, round, serious, balanced, and if you want distortion, it is the material for this purpose because of the clear material, impossible to make distorted. With medium strings wood vibrates when you play, and the body seems to participate in the fullness of sound.
Peculiar Blues to Jazz, Rock, Reggae, walk, etc., it is too soft to hard metal for my taste.
I love all the sounds it offers me!

OVERALL OPINION

I bought this guitar new in 1979 and she never disappointed, no defect is apparent in 27 years! What happiness!
I find it heavy when I play several hours I have back pain for the rest I will keep it in my hands all the time!
I had a Lespaul, with a round handle that I did not, and the sound did not fit my music. I had several guitars before I forget the brand, type of Strato, who did not let me a great memory.
I bought it in 1979 1200Frs at the time that a sum reprénsentait because I was still in school.
I would do 100 times that choice, and perhaps a real Strato and more!
