It's a telecaster made in mexico.
See review below for more info.

UTILIZATION

This guitar is a telecaster.
Ie limited access to acute with the ergonomics of the TV.
We like it or not.
The neck seems to me quite big compared to my other guitar (Jaguar and standard telecaster us).
I like this guitar for its handle, its look and microphones.

SOUNDS

I play mostly rock and I sailed on distorted sounds ranging from slight crunch to the good old disto typed ACDC. I do not play metal. I play a Fender princeton 15w tube with a set of good quality pedal.
This guitar fills me.
The neck pickup is very round and warm. It is perfect for a definite blues sound, even with a pronounced crunch.
The bridge pickup is very distinctive. He is aggressive and well defined. It's perfect for distortion.
When you mix the two microphones, one finds all the quality of each mic without losing definition.
I fully shielded micro cavities in copper tape, which makes it very sensitive to electrical noise.
Like the lack of tone control. Mics go directly into the amp without a filter. Pure juice ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3 years.
I love this guitar. She did not have the comfort of an American game but has a more distinctive. The pickups are really excellent and allows a wide range of sounds in rock style.
500 euro bought used, I do it again without hesitation.
At this price, it's a bargain.
