Value For Money : Excellent
The pieces are from the USA but the guitar is assembled in Mexico.
21 frets, 2 micro-type humbucker Fender Wide Range (the same as the Telecaster Deluxe 72).
Rglages classic Fender: its a knob, a knob Tone and switch 3 position for the microphones. The strings pass through the body of the guitar.
The originality rside in the semi-hollow body, it gives my mind a particular sound, and also looks great with his "oue" at the top of the box.
Mine is "natural", exposed wood with a coat of varnish coronation, and the quality of wood (from SLAR) adds oue make it one of the finest guitars Fender .
Sold new with a cover, which is a shame for a guitar that has the "mouth" (I bought a rigid tui).

UTILIZATION

The handle is made of alder, rounded U-wife and perfectly hand APRS a moment of surprise. The action is low, very pleasing to play a guitar.
CASC is to treble for classic Telecaster.
Because of its hollow body, it is particulirement lgre and well balance.
Readily obtained the desired sound aggressive sound thanks to its two dual microphones, or more rounded and "bluesy" with the neck pickup.

SOUNDS

The two pickups give her a "full", a bit hoarse, and not at all showy, even with the volume pot back on the treble. Playing with the microphones, we obtain a range of sounds intressant.
I play on a Marshall Valvestate 20W or 16W lamps Carvin, and has the PCHE, and with even more distortion (Marshall Drivemaster). To give more brilliance treble already well clear, I add an overdrive pedal Maxon OD9.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two years, sometimes even without a sudden when I plug in a lazy, half body and gives him a rsonance apprciable. Branch is a versatile guitar, who knows very aggressive turn round and round.
A very good report qualitprix a nice finish for its price level, and a really nice guitar in "natural".
