« Amazing value for money! »

Published on 11/30/10 at 07:38
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. You have to understand "Designed by Custom Shop in my opinion. + A 4 position selector switch S-1. All combinations are not necessarily interesting, it depends on the amp. 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!
