joudelagratte « Good TV, and pretty cheap. »
Published on 10/16/10 at 07:39Made in Mexico. Thomann bought new in Germany. (Guitar really cute for the price)
Easel typical first TVs with 3 brass saddles that hold two strings at once. 2 pickups (single coil) with various configs (6 different) for a pretty good versatility, even if the "character" Telecaster is predominant. 2 volume + tone pots, 1 switchable to switch out of phase in certain positions. 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'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'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'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'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'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'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'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'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'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'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's prettier, but that is personal! Anyway, it'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'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'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's amazing the progress achieved in 3 or 4 decades in this area and that's good for us players ...) I therefore strongly recommend this purchase. And viva la Musica!
