    Rock but not that keep a guitar

    Eagle TelecasterPublished on 10/24/13 at 03:47

    Eagle is my type 72 Telecaster Deluxe, made in Japan, a priori in 1978.
    For caractériqtiques, it is on the 2 humbuckers with staggered studs as the original, black plate 3 ply, 2 volume knob, 2 tone, noted that despite his age, I have no problem on the electronic which a priori is original, so I think it is a guarantee of Japanese manufacturing.
    Micro switch 3 positions, no split. The microphones were fishing with maple key, it's pretty rough, but playing with sounds, it quickly fixes it if you want. To complete, the strings are through, the bridge is fixed, with a removable cover which can be used as an ashtray or pick holder ... In short, a double accessaoire function!

    The handle, it is all kind of maple, 22 frets, wide head Fender type 70's, with the Eagle logo Pearl. Level thickness, it is about something quite thick compared to standard current shredders, without being over the profiles of 50's at Gibson either. With a little low action that plays great.
    There just for the wood of the body I do not know ... There's weight, it is full, thick ... I would have to disassemble to see ...

    UTILIZATION

    For the handle, I do not say it again what I wrote above, it's still a race a little tough, provided the coating provides good glide, and I find it suitable for all hands, big paws like little fingers coiled ...
    Access to acute is okay, better than a Les Paul I think.
    The guitar is balanced: standing, sitting, it's ok to play it.

    SOUNDS

    The only drawback, I think it is a guitar that has an unfortunate tendency to go on feedback with a little too much distortion and reverb. There are times when it can be used ... In fact if we stay on assays "normal" graoûh was several shades. Although maple back of slamming I think the clear sounds can be soft and warm all depending on the setting of the amp case, but mostly play with the tones of the guitar. To rock a little dry kind Telecaster / Vox, it is perfect.
    According to the metal, I would say that this is not his field prédilaection, but it can do so, it may miss some precision, it is not in EMG 81/85. This guitar was still a little wild typed trick: it will hang the blues if desired, dry without ice rock, stoner whether or when the total opposite: we choke a little and it goes to the spacey stuff, with the possibility of a sudden wake up volume or tone. This is a guitar that provides the material for experiment and find her fast enough, if you know what you want.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for 5 years. This is not my main guitar, but I keep coming back, I grabbed him regularly, and it makes me very ... Equal is a registered relatively rependue, especially this model, I have not tried others. I appreciate his side a little manly, vintage without either be a collector's item overpriced, and its dynamic microphones.
    If I had the opportunity to find another, or if I met her again, sure, I do it again this choice. And then 35 years without a pet game for a guitar that still has obvious signs of wear, it is reassuring for the future ...
