    access to the treble, gonna, be back after the thumb to go beyond the 16th (?) Cargo ... form, c of the TV, which look terrible, unusual ... the weight is correct, neither too heavy nor too light, perfect ...
    the first time on my jl'ai ad100 heard sounded, I thought "how could I stay with my play as longtps strat standart ?!?", the sound is very versatile (6 distinct tones ... ) you can get a game very nuanced as mediator in the attack, playing with the knobs, distortion level, not as good c jl'aurais thought that rock, but by rehabilitating some settings, you come to rock it right well. For example, the harmonics ring on my bcp + Start.
    small defects in the sound ... apparently the microphone are easily infected with the public lighting from 21h ... jdois virtually abandon play: /

    SOUNDS

    Bah sounds ... I think there are more specialists than I do, I do not vmt vocabulary ... according to the positions, we will sound good crystal-clear sound with warm, colorful ... I rather use the switch contrary to what I read in some, especially with distortion. I use a Proco Turbo Rat, ca serious edge on the first position (the lower). On my ad100, it sounds differently on different models, I use bcp in AC30 mode or 2x12 black (these are the two I use +)

    OVERALL OPINION

    Jl'utilise for 4 days, I feel like I have always been, I was afraid to do foolish when jsuis emerged from the store with jl'ai but when connected home, I absolutely regret, the contrary, it motivates me to make further progress ...
    basically it's a killer for the price, c the vintage, the class ^ ^
    I had gone to buy a lite ash which is also a very good guitar, but for € 100 +, the seller advised me to try the same qd baja, it was love at first sight, I am the a qd mm good good windy this seller ... that's why I was afraid on and off with, but I think eyeGO to say thank you for being such scratches in the hands;)
    if you want a very very good telecaster affordable, go for it, it's this one unless you are in retissant vintage ... nothing to envy to a Hwon or lite ash (although not compared because lovin they are modern +) c of the good, you will find very few negative opinions on the scratch, there qques minor defects, such as the wicked are not vmt precise, not easy to give c ...

    See previous reviews for details

    Personally, I found the thick handle and above all a veneer (too) bright which gave the impression of being plastic: shame.

    That made me a potential buyer noticed that when looking at the guitar above or below you could see the routing machines made in the body to the bridge pickup: it would have taken the few millimeter cendrillé or greater. I do not know if this is also true of other tele.

    As against a big plus for the 4-position switch (the fourth being the two pickups in series) and the posibility to put the pickups out of phase 2: 6 different sounds

    Well, upon receipt of the guitar had to adjust the jumpers so that the guitar is just harmonically.

    SOUNDS

    on the other hand so good, whatever, output level feeble but hey it's vintage!

    Otherwise it sounds great in clear and crunch. I have a big weakness for positions with the two pickups out of phase.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Ben I sold because the output level too low for me and the action which may be adjustable.

    For the shield I confirm that a real antenna c'tait store ... At home nothing. Any fawn, it's not hard to shield, there are plenty of tutorial on the net that shows how.

    UTILIZATION

    The handle is enjoyable trs. I admit that it's tough but you get used to rev quickly. Caution is not a highway, it's a telecaster. Amateur Ibanez Jackson and other super fast ... go your way. I think the varnish trs enjoyable and roots (compared to the Lite Ash has a quick polish trs).

    SOUNDS

    It's a versatile guitar but trs size for rock and country (I got). I think the pickups are beacoup thinner than those of the Highway (which are those of the classic sries Mex). I love the bass that gives its beautiful clean sound. The acute lack a little bite, but a fix is ​​on the wrist I think.

    I think the switch makes a difference. It sounds like a strato ... In the beginners I had no intention at all of the useful but in fact it's really not bad!

    I play rock (Stones. ..) and pop (Arctic Monkeys ...). I use a Fender Champ XD any lamp. Simulation Fender Twin or AC-30 with little gain. I love this scratching.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I just bought it but I tried many over the place. I pay 600 euros. It's expensive 100 euros + 30 euros and in England more than in Germany. Yet I travel a lot but I am Fidler to local vendors, ESG has to buy me a guitar by mail order.

    This guitar is gniale.

    Before I tried:
    - The ash lite (very good sound "tele"). Trs enjoyable, but the coating of the handle is too "cort" I got. Look great. I have a lot hsit.
    - The standard Mex. Micros drafts (I Got)
    - The highway: slamming his trs, trs aige. At first glance trssduisant, but I think we get tired ... Varnish a little cardboard, such as Gibson faded. The guitarist plays with my group ... so I wanted no one has exactly the same sound. NB: For the rock is well trs.
    - The American Standard and 52 ': Well I just had not ben enough dosh or else ... I would say that the baja has not blush before the American Standard as I found with the Highway you can feel the diffrence because it is trs "type" rock.

    Telecaster Mexico, according to the specifications of the Fender Custom Shop.
    Everything about this guitar is beautiful vintage-inspired mechanical, bridge, neck and back micros.Je not on the details, see the other view.
    Mine is finished in desert sand.Pas any default, perfect violin.
    A good number, obviously, since it is not the case for all.
    The electron is against atypical 4 positions, plus a switch for 6 different sounds.
    One downside: the shield is very thin and slightly warped cheap.Trop.
    I changed to a "real" black, it's better for my taste. (15 euros)

    A good number, obviously, since it is not the case for all.
    The electron is against atypical 4 positions, plus a switch for 6 different sounds.
    One downside: the shield is very thin and slightly warped cheap.Trop.
    I changed to a "real" black, it's better for my taste. (15 euros)

    UTILIZATION

    The V-neck is thicker than today's standards, but it very quickly and we eventually find it very pleasant and comfortable, especially since it is fully covered with a satin finish very nice, perfect for speed.
    Obviously, this is not a race for pyrotechnic stunts, it's a TV, eh ...
    The beautiful weight weighs somewhere that reassures ..
    And it sounds great already empty, every note is precise, well separated, with lots of shine and fishing.

    SOUNDS

    The first three positions are consistent with what one would expect from a good TV, it sounds slamming, funky, rock and Péchu wish.
    The fourth position (micro series) adds the fat necessary to tease a big fat overdrive without drooling and with nice mids.
    Switch was activated two sounds "stratabound" that add further to the versatility of the ensemble.
    The pots are very progressive and allow all the nuances.
    Sure, the beautiful has in reserve ..
    Frankly, all live in a lamp, it is a sacred cliente.On never tires of playing again and again ...
    I have not met with me to hum the prolem rédhibitoires.Ceci said they are single coils, to do with ...

    OVERALL OPINION

    In short, a great TV, that sounds really authentic, with some versatility and more .. so beautiful ..
    A new 700 euros, 600 into an opportunity, value for money is simply amazing.
    I also have a Lite Ash, who is also a good TV, with softer sounds.
    The Baja is above the level of microphones and sound, also Mex above standard, and rivals in my opinion without complex with high-end USD.
    But it is better to see, touch and try not to fall on the wrong number, even pay a few dollars more!
    I would buy another without hesitation, but as a blonde than done!

    Mj avril09: I think the guitarist who inexpriment rve of this guitar is ready and breaking the bank to offer it, it is imperative to know all the parasites own single coil. In a low place like a local electrical interference, in the basement (with my bassman and baja no buzz or anything) there are many chances that it is playable, but in an apartment (son all over the walls, radio-tv-gsm-neons ventilos fridge) is dj trsgnant especially distortion. Live or RPET is not worth thinking about, with the mess the ambient electric baja picks up everything and you will have more background noise than anything else. And some places are worse concerts, prs train for example, and even the humbuckers will pick up noise.
    It is true that the son and the shielding cavity microphones on the table amliore (this is what I did back in my original pickups) but it is totally inadequate in the event of location problem. In this case only noiseless pickups can be utiliss, and too bad they sound less refined than stock.
    This is without any polmique, prvoir 120 euros for a noiseless set if you want make your scne baja, which is a great telecaster.
    Mj 2010: well, almost great, here's what mine had no net ... First the frets that beginners taient well have started out the key, hello scratches to the right hand . As the handle is painted a passage maker and has imposed tax lot. Cause: the woods utiliss n'taient not all - is dry, a shame that price.
    Two, badly cut nut silent space between small string Ingal trs, and as the handle is difficult to play dj strait clean up. Nut painted of course, a catamaran or rework time by luthier that tax. For the price of new shame.
    Three, but it is not in itself a default, the corners of the ashtray are finished, they are raised and as I play a lot with the left palm resting on the easel c'tait trs aga ant. Need to know, but it's still the bad end.
    Finally four, the brass trigger guard of the environment is not so compensated is wrong every time. The other two by gnent not against, and twenty euros arrange the coup.
    I sold it with the sound of hell was too much, my nerves have lch ...

    Beautiful machine, run as atypical but highly enjoyable trs pais and not tiring at all for hours. Frets big enough, great for intonation and significantly better than the thin fingers to play (his biggest and consistent, sustain better too). It is the only handle that fits in fender.
    The body care, because the opaque finish desert sand sounds much worse than translucent, they take advantage of to use anything you see lots of pieces of wood glue and it's normal that most arson. .. For the price it's shame.
    21 frets for that matter but hey we are not all Ritchie Kotzen ...
    Approximate standard easel, great for his inimitable and beyond the bridges are made of brass. Anyone who wants one can buy intonation Scientific spciaux bridges, but the approximation exprience made a lot of octaves brings the magic of the telecaster.
    Factory wiring gas, and only the serious micro-switches off phase. Ergonomics:
    Not practical because the volume knob is too prs of slecteur, you think they would have a arrang in sixty years? Are affected even when ...
    The worst for last: shielding zero, non-existent, even the jack which is fitting with two simple son naked, noisy and microphones in the del tolrable. Ms. together they make so much noise, what cata ...
    On my baja though the nut is not the right height RALIS correctly, the strings are not rgulirement space (the r of the prs too, and if too far the string) and it's annoying to use. No top at all.

    UTILIZATION

    Super set, super sustain, but is not changing its practice.
    The body of the desert sand version is carved the sickle than the other, that is softer on the corners.
    The weight is variable, the silent desert trying carrment heavy but not blonde.
    Not easy to use if one takes into account the electronic too strait and noise omniprsent, imagining not use the same distortion with it's ridiculous.
    This as the great and cleans line6 Crunchtone dlivre sounds really good, and you can even use it to boost (with cleaning noise) amplifier lgrement saturated. Line6 thank you.

    Rgler tension handle is catastrophic, must disassemble, unbelievable at 21me century!

    SOUNDS

    Noise and distortion set ct is the sound dlivr trs INTERESTED zzing and kicking because less than hab '. Master, I would say, and if not throw in a low volume compared a classic 50s mexico, the situation is trs diffrent by mounting the volume of the amp. Everything becomes clearer, more prcis, exploitable. Mics in SERIES (twice as much noise, too bad) are cool for the game to the fingers, but parallle is not as clear as normal. I turn on the system s1, not so good in practice. The big surprise is that the micro only serious but off-stage sounds trs diffrent in phase, while a tration should not change ... And I love that sound. Magic tlcaster ...
    Zro shielding concerns is that I do not know why we continue to Fender emm ... with this b. ..

    If not, compare a Epi Les Paul goes into the SD jeff beck baja rings three times larger (yes)!

    OVERALL OPINION

    It is the only TV that fits me like a glove, and the electronic souk Submitted install is in a box saw its useless (noise noise and more noise). Instead I installed the set from home Kinman broadcaster, is what I call a micro.
    Unfortunately all drives pass a thousand euros, but without much justification, therefore, equivalent.
    I will test these Kinman in a few months, but you can still go there it's all good (nothing to do with the noiseless toneless-fender of the house). Edit, later: my Kinman though most excellent question his microphone and parasites are so I have to return them. Unusable, so that by singing in the microphone was passed in the 10 watt amp clean ... Larsen endless distortion a little harder of course. A 225 euros all I am delighted, needless to say ...
    So I blandly put together the original, but the extreme simplification (no tone, no switch series, only one volume and one kind slecteur gibson, and cables blinds.Bilan: much less noisy that the original and the sound is always dlicieux. I leave as is, learned my leon ...)

    This is my telecaster, and I'm frappadingue! An AC30 and you can dbarrasser of everything else ... Tempting indeed to see clearly at last once.
    Edit: drop the AC30 and take a bad cat cub2r is so good that enough is ridiculous!

    MJ 2010: too many who leave default apparatre trs manufacture junk. I bought a 2008 vintage telecaster peavey generation, which for a price almost 4 times infrieur had no default or hardware or finish, and two years APRS is always impeccable.
    My conclusion: Fender totally does not care of the coil of the customer by charging his Mexican (produced in a country the forefront of social and environmental progress, let us not forget) as expensive.
    It's good that they must pay the many pages of ads they put everywhere, of course! In short not at all happy ... the slapkid

    Benisterie heavy guitar but of quality: in one pice frne for mine, blonde, leaving apparatre the grain of the wood, beautiful. Say anything is trssrieux. Make no criticism of the quality of all, for that price.
    Crunch sounds clear and beautiful especially in the neck position! Round and fleshy as I found on a Fender, ah what rgal scne of the chorus phrases "message in a bottle!" This guitar is sized for the Vintage Rock but can tweak on a more hard and always brilliantly beautiful DEFINITIONS. Bravo! I find the pickups silent, but I have a good set up of pedals (Boss, MXR) and Amp (Mesa)

    SOUNDS

    This guitar is perfectly suited my style of music Blues / Pop / Rock.

APRS while dpend the quality of the whole set-up that is used. I personally do not need any noise gate and not breathing!

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it since July 2008 and j'apprcie his charisma, his sonoritslgendaires his ct Springsteen which suits me.
    I think I have an objective assessment, this is my 20 I sold my guitar and the US Strats that did not sound as it can.
    The report price is exceptional quality, it is certainly one of the best deals on the market!
    Even if I play the most prestigious MODELS, this guitar is indispensable in my set up. I do not regret having taken this essay and guitar, which ignores the sets ct its twin US's Custom Shop (3000 euros).

    but otherwise the aa EHJV these microphones is a big easy to big rock (alternative, punk, all that stuff-l)

    I played on a Vox Valvetronix and a JCM900 ... in all cases, a ring.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I tried a bunch of guitars in a variety of MODELS amps ...

    I love the most: his tele

    what I like least: RAS. Come on, I do not like ... euuh ... I like not scratching with this is that it makes you want to buy him a twin sister for him to put a pair of humbuckers ... <img class="smiley" src="/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt="mrgreen" />

    qualitprix level: almost a US class, price and less. And pure, Gilmour was right "You Do not Need my signature guitar When You Can Get a fender baja tele for $ 500" is what has made me m'intresser baja, in addition to I love that telecaster, and he was right all the way! that she silk as well as a strat gilmour signature, but basically you can do a lot of sounds worthy of inclusion on a skeud no problem ...

    plus it's a fender solid, prestigious, simple ... what a good guitar. There's all this about a little gondola pickguard that I must change ... any fawn he trs cheap the original.

    UTILIZATION

    The handle is special. I love it, but try before you buy. Excellent ergonomic handle highway without end, it suits me perfectly! This is what is expected of a Fender. Access to acute is no problem, we get easily a good sound, although I was surprised by the four positions is the point I would describe as "dark" even if it is a details: I tended to "throw" the switch from one end to another of his race, I was surprised during the first 3 days after it was good. The cover of the selector bar is often, I searched for 20 minutes in my room after a change too violent. I put a little glue is good now:) It is very pleasant to use, good grip. I put 9 for details.

    SOUNDS

    AAAAAAHHH you get to the interesting part.
    I play mostly rock, with sounds clean and saturated, vintage and modern, flowing in the funk, hard rock, and folk (RHCP, The Kooks Doobie Brothers, Nirvana, Dire Straits ...). And yes, this TV anything is possible. The six positions, which I mainly use 4 (switch off) but I sometimes use two out of phase. Not troubleshoot 6 positions, they are superb six positions, each with its type, tone controls, which does not leave room for error, making really vary the sound, we get a very wide range, we sometimes the impression of playing on a flok. This is my first TV, and there are good clean sounds (it's not a good strat trèèèèèèèèèès well but it takes the road), saturated or crunchy sounds that span a huge range of sounds, and the twang of a TV "standard". I had long dreamed of a Les Paul, I was won over by this machine, I do not part with it one day.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for two weeks, I try a lot of models before you buy (American Special Start, ltd EC50, etc. ..) Needless to say she's my favorite.

    I like this side to do everything, the looks, it sounds great, the comfort of the neck and maple fingerboard, vintage side ...

    I've never tested a United States so I put 9 because I can not compare, but ell is a jewel which I can not separate myself, which makes the dough much more shovels, Fender hit a home run with this scratches on all points.

    Made in Mexico. Thomann bought new in Germany. (Guitar really cute for the price)

I will speak more about the latest sounds.

    The handle! I was not particularly familiar with this type of round handle end and intermediate (D or I&#39;ve had quite a few scratches of medium or good quality but never before it, the telecaster) 21 boxes only. A shame but not rédibitoire. It is rather large but not exaggerated, type mapple neck, fairly easy to play without the cords and curl with a good finish Jolie playing comfort.
    Mechanical type vintage. 3 years no problem tuning. This is good and it&#39;s pretty reliable (I had some doubts about it initially) on the other hand, or I do it like a game or so I have 2 left hands (That would be great for taping ...) but I find changing strings a bit boring and difficult. Once installed the said strings do not move, it is essential. I put 8 because: variety of sounds, fittings and finishes very correct, but of course there are better, but it&#39;s more expensive ...

    UTILIZATION

    The handle is nice but not a motorway either, but really super playable and 3 years no adjustment was necessary. 21 frets I mentioned above. This can sometimes be frustrating when you want to reproduce a chorus that carries the handle to the limit of high frequencies. Otherwise it&#39;s not a problem. The access to acute precisely, I find consistent with a TV: Not exceptional, but not annoying. (I have rather small paws)
    Weight quite small (especially compared to my Les Paul) no bevel to the body of the guitar (We saved the Vintage side) so obviously it titillates the coast unless there is some fat in belly, that helps the comfort. For griniettes like me, you live with it or so, put you in beer! In all cases, this relative lack of comfort is mitigated by the outstanding balance of the guitar. That day and night with a Les Paul played the leaning seat.
    Sounds: As read in a previous comment, I use some sounds "off stage" that I too sour for my style of music. It is more suited, I think, to funk or heading putting together two microphones, one approaches a stratovolcano (Vaguement. ..) it&#39;s nice for a few arpeggios with a small chorus. Well personally I am not aficionado of these sounds out of phase. For the micro acute bugs! (I remain polite) PULLED it with or without distortion, you get your way easily within a group, equivalent to Db, of course. The two microphones are grouped very beautiful with or without a small chorus behind AC approaches the versatility of a Start (I have one too) even though it&#39;s still TV. The neck pickup is softer than the sleeve, but obviously more jazzy and less punchy. It can output sounds very disto streamers and me, I like it. Both pickups work well together. The last position side handle combines both pickups together: it looks like a hambucker or rather a P 90. Not bad in distal and provides services with an unusual versatility in a TV.
    Big downside: I think I read somewhere: there are small problems crackling, more than breath elsewhere. Though I have all the compartments shielded microphones and pots, it makes him even including rytmiques, which is the primary function of a TV. This is still tolerable and may be due to my electrical system? However, my single coil Start moontée Noiseless or my Les Paul plugged into the same configuration remain totally silent ... Mystery or bad shielding the guitar (I did it myself conscientiously but I&#39;m not a pro.) I stated because it can change the pickups, but it would be a shame because they are, in my view, very good (Made in USA). Also, I really the sound I was looking for buying this guitar and versatility not found on most other TV&#39;s. I turn therefore only 8 because the crackling noise I drunk in the long run.

    SOUNDS

    I said above all I thought the sounds: All right. I do not add anything.
    I play mostly rock, blues, some jazz at the variety and psa rotten too if possible. Everything passes with equal success, but it&#39;s still a guitar for rock and blues. With a big distortion and coupling of position 1 (nearest the handle) can play in Hard or Metal. But I think it is better to have a Les Paul, an Ibanez or ESP for such ziq.

    I do not play in groups. I do not play nearly so at home with a small amp Laney LC 15R tube that sounds good (for cheap) and many powerful enough to not inflate the neighbors. I have a pedal Boss ME 50: complete and sufficient to remove all kinds of sounds. Parenthetically, the guys who say that the BOSS distortion are shit, I would recommend a little "fingers" on the pots and they come out with sublime sounds good microphones guitars ...

    OVERALL OPINION

    I&#39;ve had 3 1 / 2 years. Very nice guitar for those who like simple tools and a bit vintage. It is color "Blonde mapple" as the handle. I changed personnellemnt plate (Tortoise 3-ply, instead of black) when I ended up black plate a little too removed for my taste, by the blows of mediator. I think it&#39;s prettier, but that is personal! Anyway, it&#39;s really a nice guitar, that makes you want to play and even if one is not a "guitar hero" but a mere scratch amateur, it is really fun and it&#39;s not essential?

    I Mets 9 / 10 despite my worries of "crackling". 30 years of practice, I have acquired and retained most often: 1 Yamaha Pacifica (fairly upscale) 1 Les Paul, an Epiphone Les Paul Black Strato 1 USA, 2 Ibanez (1 japan and korea 1) Well the guitar is on its foot in the middle of the show is ready to be played on TV. I think it&#39;s a sign! I do it again this election even with the caveats mentioned, especially for € 585 (Purchased at THOMANN) is a value priced above the average even if other brands also make great guitars for that price ... (It&#39;s amazing the progress achieved in 3 or 4 decades in this area and that&#39;s good for us players ...) I therefore strongly recommend this purchase. And viva la Musica!

    Handle very specific: round, with a V very light (barely noticeable), a touch a little narrower than average. The pickups are supposed to be custom shop at that price, it would be surprising.

And whatever the amp, vintage hi-gain to the one position you can still get away with Tele sound and more (check the AC30, EVH amps, amps and my characters. Easel vintage 3 bridges, not easy for correctness, but for the sound indispenseble. Ah yes, since I&#39;ve read several times: see slightly smashes the microphone, it&#39;s not a mistake to ask, but a willingness vintage. J have had a 66 in Esquire hands recently (ouch ...), and the price could see also stoned.

    The tuners do their job. Unlike many publicity photos, the paint body is not nearly as translucent, one can distinguish the grain slightly, but it will be difficult to identify the number of body parts (it is 600 balls, I do not d illusions). The sensations are not finished as a top guitar 1200/1500 Euros, but frankly I have no quarrel with my girlfriend so far.

    UTILIZATION

    The handle. At first surprised. Tele different than I had in hand. I&#39;m pretty tough race issue, so much so that all my guitars have a profile EVH (rather large, round, thick and asymmetrical). I had a little trouble, but within a week of practice, I&#39;m home (and frankly, it&#39;s not often that my other guitars shovels main). It is played alone, even for the soloists. The absence of bevels for the forearm and the flop is bad, but it is the spirit Tele apparently. The access to the treble is pretty good for a single-cut to the point that I got trapped in concert, forgetting that there are only 21 frets!

    This is my one and only Fender. I&#39;ve had strats of course, but sold all because I&#39;ve never felt comfortable on it. Tele but this one is truly apart, better to me that the U.S. bases. The Hotrod 52 could make me crack, but I was not as comfortable, and I like to have a guitar at an affordable price for him "get into it" without scruple or fear.

    SOUNDS

    Sounds. Well, with the comfort, but also on the ground where she buries most expensive U.S. standards. Simply connect, and it was really Tele touch immediately. Me, I had a little craze on the sounds of Hellecasters and Brad Paisley, although not playing country music. And there they were under the fingers! It allows me to have a sound a bit more "conventional" in blues, while remaining distanced from countless Stratophiles (still vaguely "SRViens") but may make it sound the same plans, with more aggressiveness. I use in my band blues rock, and frankly, it&#39;s terrible. Plugged into a Deluxe VM + 2x12, or in my Marshall JCM800 100w, it always does one way or another.

    Sounds off-switch phase of the S-1 are interesting when its really clean (for walking on beds of strata, but that&#39;s not byzance compared to its standard Tele) or to clear a path in a large distortion. Trendy drive, I am often on the bridge pickup.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Basically, this Tele interested me for its unusual round, and I see a lot of upgrade. 2 weeks to rehearse and a concert later ... there remains much about those plans. The guitar is just the mechanical reliability. The pickups are good, but it can still be improved, and I think it will ultimately be my only amended. Kinman&#39;s, no doubt.

    I always loved Telecasters mouths without ever finding one that suited me so far. So much so, that I got a guitar one day, who looked like (vaguely) a Butterscotch Blonde. In this case a Music Man Axis Sport (first model with pickguard). Since then I&#39;ve got 5 others (and one she kept 2), and a Music Man EVH, and is a model maker on that basis. I had lots of Stratocaster (Fender, Schecter, Music Man Luke II, Blade), a PRS, and Gibson (Les Paul Standard, Gary Moore Signature - the real one, not the BFG) Bacchus, and often older vintages of loan quality (Gibson Stratocaster L Series). But one day I declared that I would never again buy a guitar over 1500 euros (the price of my Music Man 10 years ago), considering we had a pro guitar at this price without the fear of make a stripe lowering its value. In short, so far the best value I found was a Bacchus Duke Standard (LP) in okaz to 800 euros, that smokes all Les Paul U.S. base. And, sorry for the minority who do not find it, it was amazing value for money (to wonder whether the guys at Fender did not become crazy!)

    I know what it&#39;s worth in absolute terms, but for RPIX amazing, I&#39;ll put a note of global opinion that I have put only once (for my number one, of course), namely 10/10. Whatever she feels tapas rather than the Sake or hamburgers. It sounds like I wanted, the rest is conjecture. I&#39;d upgrade the pickups, but frankly, I could do without!

    OVERALL OPINION

    Guitarist for 19 years, 10 years ago I dreamed of acquiring Tele worthy of the name.
    So my tastes had been eyeing on the Hot Rod 52, which seemed to combine everything I expected from a Tele ... And a routine visit to my favorite neighborhood store introduced me to the Baja ...
    Thunderbolt. A sound that has nothing to envy to the Hot Rod 52 (1200 Euros more expensive !!!!), handle just incredible ... a bridge and vintage mechanical ... It took me no more 600 Euros to get out and leave with my 5th guitar and undoubtedly one of my favorites.

    I wanted a companion to try my hand at country music: that's the one I took!

    SOUNDS

    sounds are fabulous ...
    micro serious is terrible, not like some dull Tele. It's jazzy, and with a slight overdrive, Stevie Ray is not far.
    the treble is what is asked ... and he does it very well! should not stay in front of the amp ...
    the central position is nasal wish, well-typed. The push / push activated, it widens a little and it is a little closer to the second position of the Start '.
    Fun for the funk ...
    the fourth position is surprising ... volume is therefore more than the three other positions, more gain, the humbucker, but with this round and his nose typical! push-push started, I makes me think of "Need Your Love So Bad" from Fleetwoodmac ... a humbucker mounted upside down! very sharp, sharpness, and even nose!
    frankly it's happiness, butter, not margarine ...

    Knob the volume is usable only on the limit ... of 7 / 10 to 10/10 or so. it's great to manage the gain, the dynamics ...

    the tone is very useful to calm the treble when they are too aggressive ... and they are!

    The problem, here it is: I recorded a song with ... the guitar and do nothing happens! the smallest gap dynamics, we hear, we must stay focused if the volume of play yoyo ... short, it forces you to run your right hand and your "intent" (not paying attention, no, intention).

    this is the song:
    http://www.mymajorcompany.com/player.php/song/698115?rel=popup

    mean well for the musical interlude, two attacks in a heavier penalty be clear from the mix ... ahem ...
    So the job in perspective ... and then, eventually, progress as a guitarist ;-)
    Must be earned! not really a guitar for beginners ...

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've had it a week. it's not a lot? I play for about 20 years ... I got in pognes guitars ...

    I love it, even if it is true that, unfortunately, parasites and other noise will be in the game.

    I like the sound, the feel of the game, bounce the button, the strings (for the country is better) that does not detract fretted notes ... the incredible momentum, "not easy to manage early but I hope it will come. "
    I understand the need for a compressor now!

    I do not like the pickguard changed to a "tortoise" (see photo) the next day!
    gondolas that hard! shame ...

    in short, a real Tele, sounds clear and beautiful intense crunches ...

    To borrow a notice mentioning Previous parasites, I had the use of live such problem, I have resolutely in shielding the interior of the housing with knobs Scotch mtalliques: more noise or hum ...

    SOUNDS

    Plug it, you'll be surprised! The setup is a bit unusual on a tl slecteur with 4 positions, which in addition to the classic combinations gives you two microphones in the CASC series, plus a switch that puts the pickups out of phase, which gives 6 sounds in all. There's something for all tastes.
    The bridge pickup slams his tl classic, and sought not very good, the neck pickup has a huge dynamic sound with meaty crunch in Lger intressant.
    Note the correct balance between the two microphones.
    The 2 pickups in series give you the impression of playing a double (almost). If you play Knob in shade you will have access to many sounds. I like the sounds less out of phase, but everyone's tastes. Note that activating the switch in neck pickup position, changes the sound too much like that position.
    Probably less comfortable in large loadings (not my thing), it can really deliver on its clear, with a potato hell!
    I use it in rhythm, and dmnage.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I love this guitar, which seems to be related quality price. I have my old habits with amricaine tl, and the little Mexican has nothing to envy. With its many sounds, it is very versatile. Tl lovers will be thrilled for a small price.
    I do not spare me more!
