Value For Money : Excellent
A product made in Asia although sr.
Saddle sleeve 22 screwed boxes with screw rglage
Saddle button sticks
Wood copra unknown
The body shape is close to a tele trs but the edges are much rounded, it's enjoyable trs (recall, Fender has rounded edges for strats tele users complained of an edge not violent). The pickguard is less close to the edge as a real tele.
the rest (microphones, knobs, switches ...) is exactly copied on a standard telecaster.
The knobs work well, but are visibly ptre quality.
Veneer of good quality but the protective plastic pickguard al n'tait not properly place and he rsulte a "che" barely visible.

UTILIZATION

The handle is correct: but enjoyable profile frets hang a little edge. Again, it is typical telecaster trs.
Gnral good balance, not too heavy.
The action of the switches and knobs are good.
Pleasant surprise, the mcaniques take the agreement fully. The bridge, although a simple allows rglage right.

SOUNDS

Trs pleasant surprise.
Extremely low background noise. Its typical telecaster trs. The pickups are good and do not justify a replacement. I changed the switch so that the center position, both pickups are in that parallle plutt SERIES. Not bad, adds a lot of body but I use the bridge position. A VOX pethfinder is nickel.
The pickups handle missing chouillah potato.

OVERALL OPINION

Pays 90 euros (including shipping, 1 year ago) on Ebay, I do not regret the purchase. I take pleasure over a rel, I play it trsrgulirement. What I love most of all is that this price I could pay for the copies of Les Paul, Start and Tele with their special and I love change from time to time, Depending on the mood.
The scratching sounds great offers me an excellent report qualitprix. My friends who have tried it have t bluffs.
