Well, I glue myself to myself. Now, I have to purchase in connection with a 2006 baja Anée colored sand. I've had for 10 years a Telecaster pickups equipped with standard US delta tone. I sold a year ago but I missed too much. Very intrigued by this model made in mexico Custom Shop with a priori an amazing potential, I decided to buy it.

The owner prior to the instrument is set by a luthier. Nothing to say, the difference is perfect rope handle (When buying on the net is essential).
No surprise at the grip: it was a typical telecaster neck, thicker than a Start and round.

A word on the pickups: it has 8 positions, but six sounds. Series, neck pickup, bridge pickup and parallel range. It supports diverse on the switch and you get a serial connection, but out of phase, and again the neck pickup out of phase parallel range and again the bridge pickup.
I read that some users account for 8 sounds that is a mistake.
One volume, one tone.

I am impressed by the vintage look of the instrument, mechanical, easel, color too difficult to justify from cream and white, slightly yellowed. It's beautiful.

Beautiful plaque custom shop.

O defects - a perfect finish.

UTILIZATION

If you like the Telecaster one is conquered.

SOUNDS

Simply impressive:
Series is huge for crunches and distos, great finesse and harmony, a good reserve of power. A full as they say, that fills the space well. The neck pickup alone is great for clean sounds, much less power than standard (I had no difference on my TV at US standard), but it does not bother me, the bridge pickup is typical of the character incisive and biting TV. The small addition, the switch has been pressed in series a perfect pout her casseroles and the rhythmic funk (very red hot). Backed by a wha wha, this extra phase is (finally a kind of filter that very nice, I guess in the minds of developers, wants to raprocher sounds of the first tele).
So high-quality microphones mounted in line on TV much more expensive.

qqs After months of use I confirm that all the good TV: Comfort, aesthetics, sound quality, a certain flexibility, keeping the agreement! All, all good! [/ B]

OVERALL OPINION

it seems unthinkable. For 500 euros occasion, new 600, it was a telecaster magical, with an exemplary finish, an instrument used for a lifetime.
Only downside: it comes with a gig bag, so I sold the gig and I bought one for states Hardshell Case Black Magenta deluxe interior, so she is protected for many years.
I made the mistake of selling my first telecaster, this one I keep.
