Made in Indonesia. Telecaster bridge-type string through-six bridges. 22 frets. 2 single coil Samick. Volume 1. 1 tone. 1 three selector positions telecaster kind.
Very flat handle. Friendly for speed and solos.
Very good ergonomics, very comfortable to play standing or sitting guitar.
Made in Korea or Indonesia.
Six bridges telecaster style bridge (hard-tail)

UTILIZATION

The handle is nice, satin finish on the back rosewood, very wide, the space between the rope is important.
Micro bridge: its slamming and twang. Neck Pickup: slight lack of fishing.
Note on the bridge: this is not a "real" telecaster bridge. First, its size is reduced. Some overlap screw heads screws from the bridge on the body, it's a shame.
Access to treble without.

SOUNDS

Yes it is suitable for funk that's what I wanted to base. A Tele to funk.

OVERALL OPINION

I do not like the hardware "cheap" the pickguard is just a piece of plastic, the bridge is not at all a success. The tuners are good.
Value for money: not bad provided you change the bridge, which is not easy because you have to re-drill deeper to fit the dimensions of a standard Tele bridge.

Indonesian manufacturing, this guitar is beautifully finished.

UTILIZATION

The handle is very nice, not too flat or too domed. One would think full access treble, but Me, I find it difficult to go on the strings near the body.
In terms of sound! My god, what a !!!!! To compare (and I do not compare), the sound that brings a TV and less shrill and tinny.
In microwave handle, clean, warm and slightly flashy. Middle position, an intermediary between a Start and a TV. Bridge pickup is very powerful.
In his drive, my time, the sound can be very generous in crunch as a very hard rock.

SOUNDS

This guitar is very good for Rock, Hard Rock, Pop Rock, Funk, Blues, and even jazzy neck pickup and the following settings.
I mainly use a HK Statesman 20Watt any lamp. The RS10 goes very well with the clen of this amp, blues, funk and jazz.
With distortion, I use the drive of the amp, the guitar which responds perfectly to get good sound Hard Rock bridge pickup. For the neck pickup, I prefer the Boss FZ5 Fuzz. it dribbles well, but just enough

OVERALL OPINION

It has been 5 months that I have this guitar, and frankly, I still can not, what guitar! Enjoyable to play, sweet and punchy as desired. I made my second favorite guitar after my LP, lol ...
What I love is its handling and its behavior. Its handle and quick and very pleasant. it is super accurate mechanical level.
The frets are a bit high, but you get done quickly.
I just wish accécibilité the lower strings in the treble.

The price / quality ratio is unbeatable. For 239 €, it was with this guitar, a top quality, be it finishing, quality materials and micro.
I wonder, after buying this guitar, how one can still buy guitars 1000/1500 € for the quality of that Rose signed JTR
So, I plan to very short term, to complete my guitar through a range of EV20 Standard for 509 € only. it sounds like an SG, why not use it! )

In any case, I would do this choice with your eyes closed. And as I tell you, I re-sign soon with JTR)
