«  it sends the wood! »

Published on 04/05/14 at 10:15
this guitar is a U.S. model made from 1981 to 1983.
the one I had the pleasure of playing with dates from 1983 and was amended by the addition of a single coil in the middle of the body as a stratovolcano.
I still states that the guitar I played also had the original bridge pickup replaced with a seymour duncan hot rails but does not diminish the incredible sound and fit inside the beautiful!
for features that I found on the blue book of guitars; hardwood body (the guy who had told me that it was ash, normal is the wood of the original Telecaster!), maple neck rosewood fingerboard 21 boxes with beaded pins (d Besides, what's great is when rosewood is grown old;! missing pieces in here and there and it is cracked), the head is black with the "fender telecaster" logo golden easel is solid brass and the most beautiful effect, three microphones (see why above), includes electronics; button master volume, tone, 3 positions and there to split the hot rails, switch 2 positions, the mechanics are golden.

UTILIZATION

the handle was really nice.
ergonomics is that the Telecaster; it's simple, tapered.
weight is a challenge to my shoulders; it's heavy, very heavy watch! but here is what makes his sound!
access to acute is the traditional Telecaster; it is good and that's all!
sound, my son, here bangs!

SOUNDS

the test was performed in my current amp; ie a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe III Limited edition black & silver (see my other test benches!).
desuite as you say that it's without concessions!
already, the weight of the Telecaster makes me say at the outset that this guitar trunk; not contradicted print when plugged into the amp!
sends the ball here!
it is not an Ibanez RG with DiMarzio pickups either!
it's really dynamic, expressive, and when I clicks saturation is really rock, rock and rock!
everything going on; the rhythmic hendrix, blues, hard rock .... this guitar reacted very well to pick favorites.

OVERALL OPINION

I had the happiness to try it for one afternoon and it was really fun!
I tried many guitars before it (see my other test benches!) and here I am always pleased to play an instrument that weighs a certain weight and that the respondent when we get it in bacon! !
this guitar part, for me, the pantheon of guitars that have "a soul."
what I liked most; sound in general, the addition of micro hot rails, the black and gold, fender slamming sound, the soul of this guitar!
I did not like; Therefore the weight of the instrument.
I found this guitar worth the investment; this is a good guitar for as long as one attention.
I like the sound of guitars that have lived; this one smelled of smoke, rock'n roll and sweat! ah! ah!
