Value For Money :
Excellent
Fender telecaster, Korean manufacturing
Mahogany body, set neck, mahogany table with tiger maple cream binding
Rosewood fingerboard, abalone in reference, 22 medium jumbo frets
Chrome hardware, a mechanical clutch, fixed rope bridge crossing
Bridge pickup: Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates Plus
Neck pickup: Seymour Duncan SH1 '59 (reverse polarity)
(Both pickups are single coil and split)
Note still quite a jack "cheap": it unscrews easily.
-1 For jack
UTILIZATION
Use ... One of the (many) strengths of the beast ...
The handle, how to qualify? Perfect, given the use I made: very fine, while keeping a good grip, excellent for big solos ... Access to acute impeccable (fender forces, even better than the tele / strat standard, the lack of a heel). The string action is low, it does not frieze.
Ergonomics, when it has, is magic: it is far from the beloved Les Paul smashes us back when you're standing and we massacre the ribs and the thigh when you sit: in fact, the body was slightly refined, and a chamfer was created (as a strata), allowing us to sit for hours playing. So we end up with a guitar relatively light and very comfortable.
The sound comes out easily: disconnected, its already sounds (set neck) and trendy ... I talk about it right after.
SOUNDS
So the sound ... Formidable
This guitar combines two types of effect sound different:
- The sound fat and hot humbuckers: its a fairly accurate with lots of potato, ideal for a good rock / hard rock, I use the bridge pickup with a good overdrive (boss sd1) for sounds "ACDCiennes"
- The clear, crystal microphones Splitter: I love that sound. In bridge pickup, we go a little tv in the spirit: a well slam, great for funk, and punchy rhythms well, also excels in punk distortion. Middle position, there is a little sound of a Start position micro + micro severe environment: both a hot and clear, ideal for small blues improvisation. And neck position, the sound is round, quite dynamic while being loaded low: perfect for solo rock / pop rock.
I put 10 without hesitation, for the versatility of this guitar, which still keeps a great personality.
OVERALL OPINION
I use this guitar for almost 2 years. I particularly like the look (a finish that is reminiscent of a Les Paul, while the shape of the legendary Telecaster), its handle, the sound it delivers ...
I tried other guitars in the same price range before buying it: it buries the largely Mexican and one highway, and even competes with US standard, although they are largely above its prices (excellent value for money, it goes without saying)
With experience, this choice I would do without hesitation.
