Value For Money :
Excellent
Tele USD. New model since 2009. No big change from the old.
Rosewood handle (I do not like mapple) super very cozy (satin) and easy to play.
I wanted a tele like guitar to do everything (mostly rock, I do not play it) that I change the stratocaster and the LP. Used the handle of the stratum and fan, I wanted something like without spending too much.
I tried everything for months: the bajas, Mexicans, worn rod, classic 50, 60, etc ... And that is why I took a US:
- Sleeve satin varnish to touch
- Rosewood fingerboard to add roundness (the snapping mapple too)
- A bridge with 6 saddles instead of a vintage (at least you can adjust the intonation as needed)
- The pickups and electronics and typical traditional TV.
- A US (snobbery)
- A good case
UTILIZATION
Easy to use, but curious to say mat that strato.
The two pickups are good, regardless of the position set, easel, two at a time. It has a lot of sounds for blues, rock, hard to light. I tried direct repeated on a good sample of the directory (stones, beatles, telephone, SRV), while going without breaking the head.
No pb. Getting Started (I play Fender for 40 years and only LP from time to time), not too heavy. I rise from 10 to 46 (standard as it is in the layers 9-42) because everyone says it sends more. And agree it is sending. Had no trouble with this new draft as what it is like for the rest we Gamberg lot instead of trying
.
SOUNDS
For the types of sounds, from light to bold it was everything you want. I really liked the neck pickup (which I never use the LP and rarely on the stratum: hendrix and SRV only), super middle position (in a delicious crunch), and the bridge though and slamming into a clean good amount of saturation remains fairly well defined.
I play with a VOX ToneLab and Tech21 PE 60. It may require that I redo one set of settings for the TV (or I drop a few mics) because the output level of the microphone is stronger than the strato so I a little more crunch everywhere. Not too much hum (unless my strata). Of all the presets I made it works well (I did pRSET quite simple and as close to the simulation of VOX amps, Marshall, TWEED).
OVERALL OPINION
As I said I took the time to look at all models of tele. In the end it was worth the money, a US-hand is a good plan (22 round boxes, satin, microphones that can keep a case, bridge jumpers 6). I did not even really tried the best plan, I made it simple, I bought used. in my local store (which was one that day) because I was too lazy to spend ten phone call to find one without the two pets and three for 50 Euros less.
So mission accomplished (except for the wallet because I put more than expected).
