Made between Mexico and the United States, the telecaster is fairly standard in these characteristic (alder body, Alnico vintage rosewood fingerboard on mine)
Single detail, matte varnish, not very thick but I really enjoy this style ... anyway he went fast enough on the areas where we have regular contact.
Channel 22 breaks, mechanical Fender, two knobs (Vol + Tone) and a 3 position selector switch for the microphones.

10 for the varnish, I love ...

UTILIZATION

The handle has a profile "modern" nothing to do with the reissue of 52 'for example ... Very comfortable.
Access to the top is not sharp ... Fender is still not clear we are not required to have a heel while SQUARE! unless they have the technology to arrondire a bit ... Finally ...
The guitar is light and well proporsionnée.
The sound ... it just gets a jack and an amp with lamps ... beautiful ...

SOUNDS

I bought this scratch to rock the Pixies, Radiohead and many other groups in the same vein ...
I play with the scratching of a preamp RED CORNER-made and Poweramp ENGL

I tried to be hyper rhythmic slap in the crunch (and there with a small DOD OD250 is nickel).
Acute position, slamming the mics is super clean in ... eyes closed we recognize the TV.
In crunch, fuzz or OD ... beautiful ... a dynamic game really unparalleled ... by ca rest against microphones simple ... we did not gain high ... but with EMGs, it was not that dynamic ...

The intermediate position can be hyper crystalline cleans a little style Start ... it is the only use I did.

The neck position is very warm, the sound is smooth and dynamic (particularly word characterizing the instrument as a whole), we have round cleans and warm as I like them ... the bluesy crunch to wish ...

OVERALL OPINION

I've had two months.
The guitar to violin quality for its price and the microphones are also very great job even though this is mere Fender Vintage Alnico ... he can be criticized its varnish ... I like it ... it should quickly have a look "vintage".
I compared it with others including a Fender 52 'reissue japanese series and classic 60' Mexican ... So the guitars are all in the same price range.
For € 800, it's really a good guitar is heard even here and there that are not good Telecasters ... Tried here to make your own opinion.

I would do without hesitation that choice
