fcalas « A Telecaster for all »
Published on 12/03/12 at 00:01THE classic Fender guitar made with the States, alder body, maple fingerboard and neck, Texas Special pickups, etc ... Short, heavy artillery for a super scraper, technically impeccable, given its price, not far from 800 € Guitarshop in Bordeaux.
And there is the slap!
UTILIZATION
Super balanced, not too heavy, the handle is a real highway, the paint is beautiful, I can stagger hours to rave about this instrument. I have long tinkered with Fender, I started like a lot of Squier by with their value for money that we know well, I had unknowingly models cool, then I went to Mexico, funky , cheap, really very good scratch unpretentious. And then I told myself one day I will make the "jump", my rocking all to buy a Mexican American (this is not a big jump, do not exaggerate ..). I actually wanted to see. Well, it's done, and I can assure you that the difference between us and Southwestern is HUGE.
at the sound of course, but the finish, detail, sustain, wood, frets ... a treat!
SOUNDS
Typically Telecaster with mics I particularly like the Texas Special. They are much more known on Strat (thank you Stevie ...) on telecaster, but they have in common the same potato. My Luthier said that they are "fake vintage", and I begin to understand. High output, excellent medium, the bridge pickup is the "twang" to hard rock light, the neck pickup is velvety wish, clean and warm, not to mention the central position typical telecaster.
Clearly, this is perfect. In crunch is divine and good saturation pressure is enjoyable!
OVERALL OPINION
I've had more than a year, and as I said earlier, I tried many guitars lower grades. Of course, we are not in the presence of a high-end Fender, but in terms of value for money is unbeatable. For me, this is only my personal opinion, this is a guitar ample, which fulfills its mission. The guitar is like wine (Bordeaux I, it is normal that I use this comparison) we find great wines at prices sick, but there are few people who are sharp enough to palace a big difference between an expensive wine and a wine overpriced. It is sometimes said that it is snobbery.
And there is the slap!
