UTILIZATION

Ergonomics is that of a Telecaster so we like it or not, but the handle is super comfortable thanks to the rosewood, the varnish is OK, assembly nickel, beautiful color.

easy to find a sound: a tone, a 3 position switch (bridge pickup / neck pickup / both) and presto!

SOUNDS

Only downside: the neck pickup is a bit weak, lack of definition, but it is velvety slice from the bridge pickup, it gives a good range of sounds.

its clear she is flawless, though snapping, good sound definition.

in disto: donf volume on an amp with the "gain" boosted, it's raw sound, no worries: Tele sound is present and it has rabies.

do not hesitate to strike the strings.

OVERALL OPINION

Mine dates from 2007 but found used in early 2008 to house 350 euros with Fender strap and leather ...

a guitar is solid and comfortable, the sound "Telecaster" and a violin nickel for a reasonable price.

I scratch blues, punk, but you can make it sound on anything.

the day of purchase I played on:

- Peavey Generation EX Vintage
- Fender Lite Ash
- '72 Fender Telecaster Custom
- Fender Telecaster '72 Thinline
- Squier Obey Graphic
- Fender Classic '60s
- Squier Affinity Tele
- Fender Standard US

Well I am on the '60 Classic! no regrets ... except for not having tested the '50 Classic to compare.

16 AOUT 2008 EDIT: I am attached to my '60s but I have something to compare now, I've experienced a Classic '50s, it's great, frankly series "classic" sound bombs are Mexican, the violin impeccable, irreproachable comfort in the oldschool look a great value for money among the best guitars from Fender ... also tested the Baja, a different world: the Telecaster that is the most versatile, with a character to handle it and very comfortable ... Finally, a Squier Custom with a humbucker for the neck, the fat without losing the "twang" Tele and a modest price.
