Guitar made to US
22 frets, 2 pickups single, 3-position selector, volume, tone ... A telecaster, what ...
Bridge 3 bridges, the same as the broadcaster (eldest of the "Tely")
Channel and maple fingerboard.

UTILIZATION

A telecaster is the basic myth, a reference ...
So we find a telecaster handle (not ???), half a round, fairly narrow, School Fender, what ...
The last boxes are available (large notch) but I'm not often in this region of the handle.
Ergonomic level, again, is a Tely, the same as the first dug-Leo, the form for me, I chose! There is no notch to put the fat in the belly, but I do not drink too much beer, so it goes. Weight level, no problems, but it feels it is doing ...
To get a good sound, just plug in!

SOUNDS

Style country / reggae / pop / rock, that's how I would describe myself in four words. This guitar is made for: they're not alone!
Level amp, I plugged into a Fender (not on s'refait) 600 champion, the room and the bistro down the street, the VS100 in repeats and / or the JCM in concert. In any case, it sounds!
What kinds of sounds j'obtient? ben party, a good "twang-tone" as it says ... Yes, the typical sound telecaster, total happiness!
Level tones, from light to very hot, but nicely saturated fat lamps, on all floors, dug this gives me satisfaction ...

OVERALL OPINION

Global opinion, here we go ...
Those who have read this far will understand that I am a "telecaster confident", no need to go all the topo ...
I want to emphasize the selection Highway / no highway / standard / deluxe / custom / marvelous, etc ...
I tried full of telecaster. Especially when I wanted to buy mine.
I am not a top guitarist, a squier would be enough ... Come on, let's be generous, the Mexican sound great. I wanted the "made in United States" on it, so bah, what a piece of legend!
1000 Euros all round, can be a bit less if you're doing well (I have not discussed the price I wanted, I took.) It's expensive, some say. That's true. I say it's just the price of my American dream to me, the telecaster has hardly changed since its release, that said, this is normal, there is no need ...
La baja I liked, but "made in Mexico", then no, the standard (US) sounds great, but the same as the highway, so why pay more again? For the rest, custom, deluxe, etc ... It's always the same, a telecaster, more, always more expensive, but still a Tely ...
OK, there is a much nicer finish, pickups can be a little better, but it's still the same skyscraper, if you are very rich, you want to do well like it 'you're a pro and want to the best, go for the series there, why not, if you just want a telecaster, the highway is for you and finally (yes, I promise ...) if you do not care "made in United States", the tv mexico will no doubt, your happiness ...
Basically: price / quality ratio that looks rather beside price, although quality is legendary!
Repeat this choice, yes! I am very satisfied, it is the instrument I wanted. Without complex.
Thank you.
