RaphRaymond « cheap but honnte ... »
Published on 10/20/10 at 04:48Tl Made in USA.
Brass trigger guard.
Channel pais enough, wide and high frets, saddle (very) varnish.
Rglages classic slecteur 3 position, volume and a tone Gnrale
Alder body, I took the sunburst finish with black plate (because I think the white with black plate Tristounette)
Texas Special Tele pickups.
Book cover, no box so ...
It is mounted with a pull rope Lger Ultra is a little horror but hey, is turns. The handle is
UTILIZATION
pais as a good old tl was fun, the weight of the beast is also l.
Rglage level is obviously hell (if not the impossible) if you want a guitar that any "hardening and tempering" on all the strings all the frets. It should be spars of the bridges (thus changing the entire bridge) is replaced by the original bridges bridges "way to compensate" (roughly the screw in the trigger guard is not right, which gives a saddle angle). It is an option that I chose the guitar is currently at the maker for this operation ... and another ...
I think the frets too high, to the point of playing again a little off in certain positions because we find ourselves "bender" the string by pressing it with a little extra force.
Everything else is perfect, are great: Mechanical, the handle is pleasant, with highs CASC is all done for honnte tl. The action of some dpend rglages of bridges, therefore, to be fair to the original bridges, you end up with an action DIFFERENT for each string, it does not have to get used the strings "in front". (Or change the jumpers). This
SOUNDS
tl a doubling his thundering and relatively uncommon. Obviously we remain very much in stamps "telecaster". But the neck pickup and the bridge is amazingly slamming "medium rather" but more like low-medium rather. The neck pickup "slamming" was recalls tl 52 'and those who dcoulent (52' Classic 50 'and Baja), but rather as a GENERALLY is his hat found.
In contrast, a tl neck pickup is still a medium rather than its high-smacking, very rock'n'roll (or country, depending on your aspirations) mas here I'd say a its more "modern" that the lump in medium rather is lower that usual. The sound is a little less but still slammed typ trspchu and ... Should be tested. I like it because it's very rock without breaking your ears either, which happens more frequently than when we play some saturation on Fender, Vox or Marshall a few times.
OVERALL OPINION
I acquired in July 2010 (I'm writting this review late October). I play very often, it became my main guitar, because one or two rpeter week, the studio or just for fun at home and four or five concerts since my purchase.
I am happy with my purchase Plutt yes, but not completely either.
For three points:
the accuracy of these bridges vintage scarves. (Ok it is pretty, but it's a bit to play DBIL if false, or just play on a guitar unplayable)
height frets that do not help the matter.
the cover provided a little light, instead of a solid tui.
It happened to me msaventure, but I do not care about, because I feel that I have not had any luck and that I may be an isolated case did everything. Like a screw that attaches to the strap and turned into space has dmis twice in the last concert. The luthier I put a wooden dowel.
In the end it's a good guitar, there are some dtails a little "sucks" but the woods are good, the violin is good, the pickups are good too and he sky is clear all the confidence one can have in an instrument "U.S." bte say it, and I did not believe it (I wanted to take a Baja base) but once the hands we feel we have a beautiful instrument and not bits of wood "optimiss" to sound the best in the lowest cost possible. (This is just the case of Baja). It's just, if you Were happy to have U.S. 900, we must add 150 for a flight case and possibly 60 of rglage and replacement of bridges by a luthier if you do not want not play an instrument at the bridge made "anarchic" to ring true.
(No kidding, I had rgl it rang true, then the best and I had big carts between the strings, if the limit as too close to the handle and the high E too high .. .)
With exprience, and finances, I wonder if I do not look directly at U.S. models more "classic" because we found it may be (counting my cost of the flight and instrument maker) but without the hassle ...
