All user reviews for the Fender Custom Shop Set Neck Telecaster Floyd Rose

This guitar is made in the USA, with buffer Custom Shop "siouplé". Body and neck are mahogany, maple table with ebony fingerboard. Contrary to what the name suggests set neck, the handle is stuck: it is conducting. In other words, the body is composed of three pieces of mahogany, the central part being one single piece with the handle. A must to sustain (in theory). The pickups are 2 double di Marzio (anonymous and without much power) and a simple fender (strata) in a central position.
The bridge is a floyd rose original, the best what.
5-way switch, plus a split in doubles, one volume and one tone.

This guitar was produced only 90 to 96, and you will have noticed yourself that this is a rare bird.

Although qu'estampée custom shop, I found the finish very "standard" or "limit".

UTILIZATION

The handle is quite manly, not gibson typed so far. The width at nut exceeds 43mm. Lovers of music man, go your way!
Access to acute is much better than on a standard TV or paul (no heels!), Only the single side cut in some genera.

On paper, a perfect world!

SOUNDS

But here: this guitar does not sound a cachuète! The Di Marzio of origin are weaklings (and yet I'm a fan of the brand!) As to sound like simple. When I tried, I put all those little flaws in the account of the amp cheap store ... Well no. You will believe me or not: it is the coolest guitar I've ever had!
I set up an EVO. A little better. A tone zone, even a little better. But voila: you can put the pickups you want, the violin has to do its job as well. Even today, I can not get to have have a mahogany guitar, Fender is more, less versatile and above all a warm jackson first prize. The clean sounds will produce a sound slender, excessively crystalline.

OVERALL OPINION

Purchased in 2002, sold in 2005. I spent over two years before managing to sell it, half its price to a collector. You are warned, do not soften its maple table! I do not flingage easy guitar, but it really deserves it.

For a Fender floyd, bursting with the strat 'classic floyd that they are a success, often at a price very reasonable time.
