So then .. Made in Japan Fender x)
Telecaster bridge type.
Channel fairly flat rosewood.
21 frets, pickups Fender Telecaster Vintage
3 position selector ... typical telecaster



USE

The handle is top ... Varnish lets slip the hand easily (unlike US Highway 1). The rosewood gives a nice look at the guitar.
For the weight is impecable .. lightly! Like any good telecaster x)
The access to acute and becomes difficult for the last 3 frets.
Personally, I chose this guitar after testing the Baja who have a sound much too flat.
This one has a sound very sharp and acute (with the bridge pickup). That's what attracted me <img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt="" />
The neck pickup is a little too flat for my taste but it should still


SOUNDS

I play mostly rock n roll. If you are a lover of blues, jazz and rock, this guitar is for you <img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_lol.gif" alt="" />
Acute this merveileux guitars.
I play on a Marshall transistor .. I recently tested my telecaster on a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe that I will soon aquérir <img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" />

The Hot Rod gives an even more vintage rock n roll (slightly crunch).

I also said that I play almost all the time on the bridge pickup <img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt="" />

NOTICE GLOBAL

I have this from a fender 1 month

I tried 3 other model before this one:
- The Fender Telecaster Custom 72 -> finally, it is not really a telecaster
- The Fender Telecaster Highway 1 -> the handle is not pleasant (not enough varnish), this guitar has no "personality"
- The Fender Telecaster Baja -> it seems to hold a baseball bat, the sound is too flat for my taste .....

I really Regrete not having bought .. It really has nothing to envy its American cousins

What I like most: - The sunburst color with the binding
- Sound edged vintage for pure Rock n Roll

The value for money is correct ...

Note: It may be costing less in Germany, but the guarantee is only 3 years there. In France, it is guaranteed for 2 years, but an extension of 3 years is possible on the internet (free) ... This gives a 5 year warranty! Fender thank you France <img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt="" />

To you comment <img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt="" />
Rock n Roll Forever <3
