Elypse Guitars Tea Custom

As already mentioned, it is manufactured in China.
Fixed bridge, maple neck, basswood body Telecaster shape, micro, and P90 in the neck humbucker in the bridge, one volume knob and tone, three-position selector.
The finish is not great but not bad surprises at the beginning ....
I paid 90 resulted in euros instead of 219, so no regrets.

UTILIZATION

I have chosen other models on sale Elypse in part because it is on the handle of this model that I felt better. Good race but of course there's more for more expensive .... the interface is that of a Telecaster, the body is rather heavy in its genre.
What has finally finished up my mind this is the sound of this model. I tried it in stores on Marshall Class 5 (5 watt all-tube) and the sound I liked its clear. The P90 is in very nice vintage sound, the humbucker seems to defend themselves quite well. Confirmation of the sound qualities of a Fender Princeton Reverb from a friend. For cons I have not had a chance to try it with distortion.
Despite the use of lime for the body, not the cheap, on the contrary ...
Brief for the ridiculous price I paid, it's happiness ...

SOUNDS

As I said above the sound of that scratching is amazing and very satisfying for the price. I have not had the opportunity to use it a lot but in the blues-rock record, she must defend!
This is a copy of the original Telecaster in the choice of microphones, and it's very effective.

OVERALL OPINION

I did only a few months but I have not used much.
Before I tried selecting the entire range Elypse power is the one that convinced me the most, even more than the Les Paul copy with EMG HZ pickups.
The concern is that it drags in SAV in Milonga for two months ...
The sleeve has moved quickly, and I took it back to adjust the truss-road and the bridge (action too high). The technician could not settle for jumpers allen screws are not in standard sizes (not American? ). Then came the switch that dropped ...
So I'm still waiting to recover.
The value despite technical setbacks, since I paid only 90 euros, is still very good. As against the initial price to 219, I think I probably bought something else.
In summary,
most: the sound, originality
Minimum: the finish, reliability

UTILIZATION

The handle is very nice but when buying, as I said above, we must carefully check the sleeve and the nut that can be damaged (I do not have never known why). In terms weight telecaster guitar style is a bit heavy for my taste (not comfortable for me due to my back problems). Access to acute one arrives is quite easy to achieve when même.Nous that said get a good in its crystal-clear channel clear and especially when we used the p90 that is geared to-man blues and saturated channel the sound is very warm, nothing better for a good rhythm to Metallica.

SOUNDS

as I said previously, clear channel is great especially with p90 did for the blues-man and saturated channel the sound seems very good, the humbucker doing a good job. I used it (I have more problems due to the handle and the nut very annoying) with Elypse E15R-RED and the sound I liked.

OVERALL OPINION

I used 1 month, unfortunately, I tested for Jackson, LTD, Epiphone and Ibanez étaiet that much better (but my budget was very tight), with the experience I do not think that choice again.

(s) +: the sound is very good

(s) -: the handle and the nut of very poor quality: (Too bad because the price / quality ratio is excellent especially the sound is really good.: /
