    Wide Range pickups are those mountains by the custom shop on the Jazzmaster Lee Rinaldo (Sonic Youth)
    - The sound palette is impressive one goes from crystal clear sound and powerful fender Blues Gibson fawn.
    This is THE BLUES GUITAR par excellence, the oa standard telecaster is limited to the country and funk, deluxe 72 turns to the blues and rock.
    I was able to compare the original 1972 when purchasing and well it sounds as good or even better ett finishing sembl widely Suprieure me. In short, for once we fender out a real quality product comptitif a price. 10/10 hands down!

    USE

    This is very far the best race I've tried Fender it is not as soft V on my strat US, but C has changes everything. It is ideal for rock and blues solos thumb on top. It is ten times better than the handle of a modern TV. I am surprised to read the comments that handle is initially droutant. They are not accustomed to the brand, it has been 20 years since I played Fender and I must say that I am happy to find the handle C, much conforatble the app V (for me, a fender must not be an Ibanez).
    The guitar is heavy, but it's the solid alder and it's good because it's always a guarantee of quality (density of wood). Objectively it is heavier than a standard telecaster USA, but all the same has nothing to do with a les paul ...
    The shape is super comfortable and beautiful.
    For sound, the sound palette is huge ...

    SONORITS

    I was saying that the sound palette is huge, double wide-range sounds very crystalline, it is a bit like survitamins simple and quiet (no hum). According rglage one can have a round very hoarse gibson fawn or otherwise typical fender slap sounds.
    The output level is very lev and microphones have a lot of heat, which is quite rare Fender.
    - The neck pickup is very round and powerful, it is very close to a Les Paul.
    - Micro Chavalet is hitting like a telecaster standard but with more body and chest is ideal for Stonien riff and well-biting solos.
    - The intermediary position offers crystal clear sound typical fender but parasite-free.
    To sum up this guitar will satisfy both lovers lovers that Gibson Fender.
    You can play the blues rock, rock 70's, funk and even jazz. I have never been as versatile guitar, but it is above all the bluesmen and rocker sduira it (it is unbeatable in this style).
    Note that the guitar offers beuacoup sustain which is rare for a telecaster.

    NOTICE GLOBAL

    The guitar seems straight out of a time warp as it offers sound, feel, the look of the era.
    A guitar worthy finish Custom Shop, I repeats it's better than what may offer telecaser American Standard, the more it is more versatile. If you play blues rock, classic rock, I suggest you take the TV 72 '. For the country, it will also thanks to its key maple that gives clean sounds good slamming on the bridge pickup. I urge you to try the 2 in store and I am ready to bet that you will leave with TV 72 'as it is a total Russianness.

    - C handle, much easier to play than my strat US.
    very fast
    - Alder body 2 parts
    - Mcaniques vintage that take good agreement

    This is an ultra rac guitar that adds potato its typical telecaster and especially eliminates interference.
    The finish is much better than my Fender Strat US, I love this guitar! I do not play with it and yet I have 7 other guitars!

    The handle C is super comfortable, much more than the handle of my strat V, access to desti- nations most recently boxes is super easy.
    The guitar is pretty heavy, much more than my Gibson SG but it is a sign of the quality of the wood.
    The sound is between a Gibson Les Paul (sleeve) and a telecaster (bridge), the middle position gives its open PRS.
    This is a guitar for blues, rock and funk, it is superb in these styles, but is too typ played for the variety. So if you play in the ball rather buy a strat. If you play rock, take the TV 72!

    SONORITS

    Wide Range pickups (Mountains also by the Fender Custom Shop on some Jazzmaster)
    - Add in the neck position a little roundness and depth to the sound of the very incisive telecaster. This results in overdrive sound very rac Santana or Neil Young Harvest period. It is very close to a Gibson Les Paul and more nervous.
    - In the middle position, we get a very open sound, ideal for modern jazz, funk or fawn Purple Rain ride. We could compare a Prs example.
    - The sound of the bridge pickup in clear channel is typically telecaster slamming and punchy. Saturated channel allows to go very far into saturation without losing precision, it is ideal for playing Hendrix.

    Note that the microphones are very powerful and free of pests, which is quite rare for a fender. The potentiomtre is 250 K, we can replace it with a 500k but I did not because I find the perfect sound so I do not want to change anything on it.

    NOTICE GLOBAL

    In comparison with the TV 72 'strato my standard US ple parat well in terms of sonority (to the point that I no point in me) ... even my gibson SG is less race.
    TV 72 is a race car, it makes no concession, either love or you dteste. If you like the sound telecaster, go buy it because the dollar goes up, if you are beginner or play the variety (blah) take a strat 'sound is happening everywhere.

    A note that all pieces of the guitar are amricaines, only the assembly is done in Mexico, making it accessible.
    Antipode of a guitar with an Ibanez and modern sounds crazy to Wha and fuzz face! It is perfect as an old zippo!

    NOTICE GLOBAL

    I hsitais between a les paul studio 100 euros more but rotten finish of the Gibson and his lack of character have stopped me.

    72 Deluxe reissue in the rare Walnut finish

    Fender Classic '72 Telecaster DeluxePublished on 10/10/11 at 19:39
    In the 70s when Fender wasnt doing so well they had to try and get guitar players loyal to other brands. This was their attempt to get some Gibson players over to the Fender side. This is one of the most unique Telecasters that Fender ever put out and it is one of my favorites. You can tell from the design that it has a more Gibson Les Paul orientation to it and that pretty cool. With this guitar you get an alder body with strat style contours on the back. The bolt on neck has the 3 bolt attachment with the microtilt adjustment. You get a once piece maple neck with a maple fretboard with 21 big frets. Up top you get the big 70s headstock which looks pretty cool on a Telecaster. The pickups …

    In the 70s when Fender wasnt doing so well they had to try and get guitar players loyal to other brands. This was their attempt to get some Gibson players over to the Fender side. This is one of the most unique Telecasters that Fender ever put out and it is one of my favorites. You can tell from the design that it has a more Gibson Les Paul orientation to it and that pretty cool. With this guitar you get an alder body with strat style contours on the back. The bolt on neck has the 3 bolt attachment with the microtilt adjustment. You get a once piece maple neck with a maple fretboard with 21 big frets. Up top you get the big 70s headstock which looks pretty cool on a Telecaster. The pickups are two humbuckers. They are Fender Widerange humbuckers from the 70s. The bridge is a strat style hardtail bridge so there is no uncomfortable ashtray on this guitar. The control layout is straight Les Paul with a volume and tone for each pickup with a 3 way toggle on the upper bout. The Walnut finish on this guitar is very vintage looking. Like a relic model with out the scratches. The black and sunburst models look brand new while this one looks like it could have been from 72.

    UTILIZATION

    The playability on these Deluxe models is nothing like a normal Telecaster. The neck is a bid wider and flatter than a normal Fender neck so they feel more like a Gibson. The frets are larger as well. The factory setup is nice and the microtilt adjustment lets you get a nice action up where the truss rod doesnt help. The microtilt is like a self shimming system. The strat style hardtail bridge is more comfortable in my opinion than the normal ashtray Telecaster bridges.

    SOUNDS

    The tone on this guitar is vintage but not Tele vintage. It isnt that much of a twang machine with the Widerange pickups but they have a bit of bite to them. They are hotter that the single coils that you would have gotten otherwise but they are by no means hot pickups by todays standards. They have a very vintage voice to them. This is probably the smoothest sounding solid body telecasters out there. The tone of the pickups is very p90 ish but with more bottom end. It does not have the telecaster quack that tele players may be use to. With the smoothness there is a bit of a loss of clarity in the tone. Overall there is a nice old school woody tone to the guitar. This guitar also has a great jazzy tone. It is very warm without getting boomy. The humbuckers in this tele give you unique tones that no other Telecaster has. This is a true period guitar with period tone.

    OVERALL OPINION

    They have been making reissues of this model for a long time and it is no surprise because it is such a great and unusual model. The normal Telecaster is such a one trick pony that not many people are able to use them for modern music. A model like this with humbuckers and full controls give the platform much more versatility to play all sorts of music. The Walnut finish is my favorite finish on this model as well. It has a very period look to go with the tone. If you are looking for a Telecaster that is something more and something different this is a good alternative to your typical tele.

    One module easily by playing with the tones and volumes.
    I played on a Marshall JCM 800 and a Fender Twin Reverb.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I should have to buy it but I was not the tunes. The friend who sold it allowed me to play on for hours but at the time, I was a student and finance and it did not follow a stranger who has made the acquisition.
    This is a great instrument!

    UTILIZATION

    The handle is nice for me: it's not too late (thick), which suits me because I'm used to a classical guitar neck.
    In addition, the shape of the arch is that of a Stratocaster, I like to the Telecaster.

    Good ergonomics, good access to acute. The sound is crystalline, it is a sound that I like that.
    A alongside the pots, there is a reference to know the setting value, and that's good, it can be fine-tuning, especially for the tone.
    For cons, the correspondence of the position switch is unclear, you have to test to see which mic is used (unless you have the habit of gibsons)

    However, if you play the rhythm too nag (hem. ..) can peter a rope at the bridge.

    Just play it for a great sound.

    SOUNDS

    It should totally my style of music, the vendor advised me, after finding the sound of the TC 90 Thinline tros serious.
    I have a marshall amp AS50R, mt2 pedal and a BOSS.

    The sound ranges from highly crystalline (bridge pickup, tone 10) to the very round (neck pickup, tone 1)

    Me my preference is to the lens, I discovered the opportunity in May with the sounds rounder.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've had five months, I did some recording. Just before I tried a 90 Thinline, but having told the salesman that I found the sound too serious, he introduced me to this model which I hung.

    Assets:
    + Adjusting volume / tone for each microphone
    + Handle end in not too thick
    + Butts strato
    + Super clear sound at the base
    + Walnut finish
    + The benchmark for each knob

    Cons:
    - Not very clear about the correspondence position switch / microphone used
    - With a game very strong, it can blow up a rope at the bridge.

    Good value for money, I would remake this choice for a first electric in this price range.

    The contacts of the three positions are slecteur plutt fragile. Word of advice, change ds as possible, or else when he has made me!

    UTILIZATION

    - Channel Saddle trs enjoyable playing with jumbo frets (a little larger than a stick tlcaster). Personally I love even if Access in acute phnomnal is not ... any fawn, I did not go so often that a.
    - Fairly heavy, long one ends up feeling in the shoulders but it's even more lightweight than a Gibson. Ergonomics is good, it stands well against the hip, especially with the lgre dcoupe on the back of the body (another advantage over the original).
    - For sound, has requested a little more research than other guitars sound particularly wide range can really Drout. Personally, to beginners, j'tais really their sound, too "dull" but with time and especially good rglages, I actually finally found the sound I was looking ever since.

    My little mods:
    - I replaced all the pots (volume and tone of the original 250k) with 500k more suitable for humbuckers and I really gained gain clarity and especially in the gnrale sound. CONTRL Incomprhensible that the Fender Wide Range of pots with 250k ... by economy, I suppose ... anyway it's much better now and my humbuckers are much more prsence, while keeping the sound close to the single coils.
    - The height of the microphones also plays heavily in the balance gnral. To beginners, I had a Difference of level and between the two microphones prsence too large. The neck pickup, the well rounded, covered bridge over the microphone, really "asthmatic". Do not play with hsiter small screws on cts microphones for the sound. For me, this gives: neck pickup flush with cash, lgrement surlev ct acute and pickup dates back to more prs strings (about 2mm, but no more so as re not too kill the sustain)
    - The studs microphones are adjustable, they allow, the APRS rglage gnral microphones, refine, rope rope ... important: the direction of the groove of playing on the field plots magntiques and can disrupt the oscillation of the strings, especially if the microphone is placed prs of them. Best rglage is to position the groove through, about 45 relative to the direction of the rope (this gives something like a: / \ / \ / \ or ////// or \ / \ \ / \ ...)
    In short, it's a bit of work but in the end, the Wide Range Humbucker, Reissue version, are really not so bad that a and can end up easily find a pure sound "slamming" and "crystalline."
    Finally everything is a matter of rglage and frankly this view rglages the "factory" of Fender DSIR really leave!

    SOUNDS

    Pre-rglages: dcevant, "soft", too dsquilibr neck pickup bridge pickup ok but not safe, compltement "enterrquot;.
    - Aprsrglages, a real killing (or, conversely, nirvana). Crystal clear sounds or soft depending on SETTING THE Tone sounds slammin saturated fat or with a lot of depth, which do not go in all directions, not too aggressive. I played on a sound ToneLab + or a small Fender Champ 25 ... distortion level, I go through a Russian Big Muff and I really what I wanted. I think it's a guitar that sounds great in crunch and rpond although the attack and the game also L must vary rglages Volume / Tone according to what is wants ... leave everything blocked out of 10 is passing ct Wide Range of opportunities ... too bad. (
    - So plutt for blues, rock, jazz with the possibility to push the saturation a bit but really not the nu metal (you will quickly understand ...), nor to the followers of the game and Hyperclean his: with the Deluxe, it will be limited parking plutt lo-fi. Guitar gniale for post-rock, reggae, punk, noise and noisy express them.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for a year and I have to fight to get the sound I was looking for without changing the pickups (see rglages) but now, nothing to regret.
    Frankly, looking for a Deluxe or the original microphones Wide range of era in time, price or they are found now (on ebay, the microphone is around 200), it's really the DLIR: the reissue b NFIC a violin and a much better quality fittings. The Wide Range of origin (when they are not rinsed compltement ...) sound may be a little better (more EHJV and slamming) but with some of the reissues rglages n ' Phra frankly have not.

    You really love ...
    Pais a much more even than a standard Telecaster Gibson Les Paul.
    - Access in acute is normal (it's not as if there were 24 frets either!)
    - The guitar is quite heavy but the shape is more subtle than a Gibson Les Paul with a good rpartition space on the body.
    - This gives a good sound but nanmoins ATTENTION: trs typ blues, jazz.
    In fact, I do not know if it is of vintage microphones to handle or Saddle trs but the sound is soft, even with a large distortion ...
    The hammer-on or even tapping some are almost impossible because of the trs couraging dry low sustain.

    SOUNDS

    - The only saturation which allowed me to use back this guitar is the Fuzz Factory Z-Vex with its almost infinite gain.
    Otherwise I think it is only just my style plutt alternative rock but I really feel the need for a second guitar with pickups worthy of the name (style Seymour Duncan SH-5) which restored the sound of my best pedals and my future amp lamps.
    - I play on an amp Hughes & Kettner Edition Blue 60 Watts.
    My pedalboard consists mainly of a Fuzz Factory, Phase 90, Whammy, CryBaby, Echo Park.
    - The clean sounds are round and slamming trs fairly crystalline.
    - The saturated trs are round or too smooth but not so aggressive.
    Harmonics are hard to get trs.

    OVERALL OPINION

    - I use it for a year now.
    - What I like most:
    The sound quality is same when compared trs own guitars "first price"
    Her look
    Its clean sound with delay and phaser
    - What I like least:
    The lack of gain
    The absence of vibrato
    The 21 frets that does not really simplify my solos!
    Weight
    The thickness of the handle
    His switch to DCON and sometimes cut a micro
    - Report qualitPrix correct for guitarist warned (700 delivers the eBay Runion)
    - I would do this choice because this guitar silent primarily a favorite and is quite rare but for now I would opt for a more Ibanez pickups with SH-5 for a purer sound.

    Level finish is nickel, if she does not see US I they would have done better in ct l.

    SOUNDS

    Clearly, we can not play any scratches with this. Metall, hard-rockers and other nerve go your way. If you want to play britpop, grunge or alternative rock more or less it is perfect. Only correct for the blues, and the rest (jazz, country ,...) I think it will be fine but it is not for the obviousness has.
    Note also that it is doing a lot ct sustain for a tele ...
    I play on an old peavey ending for that will fly but I get very easy Nirvana type sound (quasi IMMEDIATE), Franz Ferdinand and everything that revolves around a.
    In his clear, she wonders, that lens as I love (that is, not as a stratum and not as a Gibson).
    In a saturated is complicated a little, the microphone picks up the grave quickly. This microphone is expressed fully with the acute bottom, it seems serious to play in a cabin tlphonique. The microphone is quite acute him any ground. I have read here and that could change potentiomtres rgler the problem, but even when a is a -3, so 7 / 10.
    Edit of 23/10/2007
    Okay so I changed the knobs and splits the pickups, and then the good is carrment else. You win normment split in brightness and offers opportunities more than friendly since it can approach a the Tele Custom with a Tele or the normal (a twang a little less when m me ...). In short, an essential upgrade for me.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Well I've had 15 days, did not normment back but I think it my reserve of surprises.
    This is a guitar to look for a tele plutt original, with its perfect for what I play but may be more versatile with a microphone in the least serious cabbage.
    Question qualitprix report is more than adequate if you take the time to look for the best price, I bought Custom nearly new (6 months) less than 600.
    And of course I would do the same choice, there is no photo, it's exactly what I wanted.

    SOUNDS

    It should be great for my style rock pretty upset but not violent (peace guys ...) and more it to the class.
    with respect to the crystal clear bin is not quite it, though do not push it, it's not a strat either ... lol
    the rest is stunning but the microphones provide also, I would change one day for type prs hfs pickups in simple splittable
    too bad there have not sound very clear fender (uh pardon of a head or Start) but I tickle ...

    OVERALL OPINION

    She's mine ... for a month and I am proud of having at least we do not see everywhere like strats .. (respect still ..)
    I like his personality the sound, sound, comfortable ergonomics.
    I have tried many but this one tapp me in the eye ... I took a risk because I could not try it before ordering
    then the value for money is also stunning, the handle will be good matte (with a satin varnish that can do very well my luthier) frankly I advice every scratch, comfort is enhanced gaming ...
    after long hesitation for other models, this one is that it seized my heart ... and my fingers
    Oh what I would do ouui choice for this character scratches.
    START EDIT 2008: I made change for micro seymour spittable also fired single tones (is not me) actually the maker was forced to redo a custom plate for micro fender are the same size ( need to know!) and great sound is different clearer more defined, and fishing and more and more simple but less than slamming output level less fishing, namely in concert. I think a change to be missed, here it is accurate and oats, but happiness.

    SOUNDS

    I have three basic sounds:

    clean: bridge, it snaps like a lot, very hot very round neck is my favorite
    with slight distortion pro co rat: a little bridge that hard anyway, not a fan, perfect neck
    lead to my amp (mesa caliber 50 +): I do not know who said it was not suitable for big sound but I do not agree ... on the neck you lose a little precision, but it's slime that her little effect on the bridge that knocks sec, I love

    there is no sound that I really hate the bridge with his co pro is a bit aggressive but I settled for lem ICRO neck ... so here goes ...

    I love the sound of this skyscraper ...

    OVERALL OPINION

    I do not notice the hot ... So I use it for over a year (almost two even)
    I love the telecaster ... I do not know why! that's how! sound, look ... I have an old squier telecaster silver series on which I had built a one humbucker epiphone (and those of you Will know us by the trail of dead ) And I told myself that my next tv will have a big microphone ... no fender humbucker in series, but the wide range found on the deluxe, custom and Thinline are really good, half way between single and double ...

    Briefly, the look and tone of a tele with a potato sg

    I tried several tele, Start, Ibanez, jackson

    value for the price is right and do it again of course I did! I really like the scratches

    Fender Classic '72 Telecaster DeluxePublished on 09/12/11 at 20:14
    Fender ahs made some exceptional guitars and they have also made some pretty budget friendly and also crummy guitars. I would say that this is a budget friendly guitar for someone who wants to you own a Fender telecaster deluxe series guitar and doesn't want to pay the American price for one. Although the price isn't that much of a difference and maybe only the amount of a couple hundred dollars. So if you looking for a Fender Telecaster Deluxe guitar I would probably save a little bit more money and go with the American-made because it feels and sounds a lot better than this guitar.

Although the price isn't that much of a difference and maybe only the amount of a couple hundred dollars. So if you looking for a Fender Telecaster Deluxe guitar I would probably save a little bit more money and go with the American-made because it feels and sounds a lot better than this guitar.

    UTILIZATION

    This is a cool looking guitar over all with its unique place placement of the two humbucker pick ups. Traditionally Fender telecaster's come with two single quill pickups. However this guitar has to humbucker pickups which gives it a more beefier tone and overall warmer and sticker town. You also have a little bit different pic guard than the traditional Fender telecaster pick guard. Usually the pick guard on a Fender telecaster is much smaller where has this one covers more of the body of the guitar. So you have more of a Fender Stratocaster pick card that covers a lot more of the front face of the guitars body.

    On this guitar you also have a little bit more control over the volume and tone knobs. Where is a traditional Fender telecaster has two knobs . One for the volume and one for the control. However on miss guitar you have two volume control knobs into tone control knobs as well as a pickup selector on the top portion of the body which is more accurate to a Gibson Les Paul guitar Dennis Fender telecaster guitar. Traditionally the center trail Telecaster guitar had to pick up selector right next to the volume and tone control knobs on the bottom and of the guitar. This one also features a nice vintage Sunburst paint job which is very elegant and very vintage looking overall. You also get a bigger vintage headstock that is more traditional to the older guitars from the 50s and 60s. Overall it's a pretty cool looking guitar and a very vintage look.

    SOUNDS


    The tone is guitar is very telecaster tone but it comes with a much more beefier overall voice and tone. You can hear the body shape of this guitar as it is exactly the same shape is it any other fender telecaster but you get a much thicker and beefier with two humbucker pick ups. The overall feeling of the guitar is just a hot Rod Fender telecaster guitar. Much like the hot rodded fender Stratocaster guitars which are also known as super strats which carry humbucker pick ups instead of the single coils. This is basically did the exact same thing only in a fender telecaster version.

    You can use his guitar with just about any amplifier the half. It's been a sound pretty good in just about any cleaning or any distorted amplifier that you half. The feeling of the guitar is going to be a little bit less substandard then a American made fender telecaster. You can feel it in the balance in the overall feel of the guitar if you've ever played an American fender telecaster. Just to be a little subtle differences in the neck and the feeling of it which will give you the understanding and difference between the Mexican and American made Fender guitars.

    OVERALL OPINION


    You can find these guitars for right around $600 used and maybe even less. I've never priced these guitars and no desire to buy one in the near future. I would certainly suggest owning a American version of this guitar over this one because of the build quality and standards. The overall feeling the guitar is not very good and I'm just not that much of a fan of the Mexican made guitars. So I would only suggest this if you are very tight budget. Otherwise I would suggest stating a little bit more money or selling something that you already own to afford a American made fender telecaster deluxe guitar

    UTILIZATION

    Handle much more than a Telecaster pais "standard" and a veneer that gives the impression of playing on the butter. Attention should try this guitar for a long time before you buy: it is not for all types of hands! For personal history, I fell in love with the scraper, and three to four months later I could not sack the because I could not get used to the handle. But I finally tamed - not now return a standard Telecaster! This is by far one of the most comfortable guitar with which I had the opportunity to play, but the adjustment period can be quite long.

    SOUNDS

    This guitar is perfect for rock and blues, and even perfectly suitable for jazz, I never thought possible for a Tele! For the funk is not said is one of the best guitar in the world.
    It is tempting especially beginners, to criticize the relative lack of punch microphones, Tls compared to "normal". But you realize quickly enough for their incredibly versatile characters and their personnel trs, much more warm and mellow than most Fender guitars and slamming nanmoins hyper when playing with an amp who put what its worth. I play for me on a Fender 212FM, almost always on the clean channel (amp that I highly recommend any guitarist attracted by the cheap Fender clean sound for that matter) and frankly, I dbande not.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Dja I post an opinion on this guitar six months ago, and I reproached him in his era a "fade" and too big inning. For sound, we must believe that I did not play on the right amp - Fender rvle this because its potential on a good clean channel. I then Discoveries sound die for. And the sleeve, it's all a matter of habit. I am convinced that I Submitted never be able to play on a Telecaster "normal"! Make no mistake, the 72 reissue Fender Telecaster guitar is an authentic characters, the other radically diffrent Telecaster, and requesting time to adapt relatively large. Undoubtedly one of the best guitars ever made what have Fender, whether in Mexico or the United States.

    Before buying the guitar second hand, I try t all models who had tap the eye in the store and wanted a 2nd guitar for anything other than my Gibson LP DC. In fact I wanted to buy non-deluxe version with a simple microphone and a humbucker but as I tried DIFFERENT MODELS, my left hand prfr the handle thereof. I tried the scratch and sitting on a laney amp and the sound I liked. So management 100kms from my home and there was one in time. Same as the guitar is heavy (4.6 kg for mine) and the handle is very enjoyable sitting. I did not try to stand and I must say that I have some difficulty to adapt myself to standing. It's been six months that I have but it's a 2nd guitar live and therefore I rpt not take it.
    Personally I am not a fan of scratch four potentiometers, ca kills variations buttons and ca be used to it rglages made in advance between the microphones, difficult to explain, this is only me:)

    SOUNDS

    As said, the store sounds to me more, but compared to my LP sound lacks a bit of pep and seems a little tuft it loses the same "twang" tlcaster ... Perfect for jazz, rhythm and arpges and that is why it is still in my possession. In the end it's rare as I branch and I find it a shame because I find it really great but nothing beats the sound of a real humbucker and a real simple telecaster

    OVERALL OPINION

    It's been six months that I have to second guitar and I play almost always empty in the sofa to make lines or it remains in his corner. It does not really sound that I expected.
    What I like is its look, the handle varnish trs enjoyable to touch.
    What I like least is the lack of pep microphones and weight.
    I put about 7 same as I do not want to get a rating, it is only a matter of taste
