UTILIZATION

The grip is not as instinctive as you might think. Finally, let's say it's not easy to switch from one brand to another, especially when it comes to Fender and Gibson (those who have will understand me). If you were blindfolded and that you plug in a Gibson's hands, the grip is so strange that you can not go wrong.
Terms of weight ... Good ... ... it's heavy but reasonable.
The ergonomic shape, very pleasant to forget the beginning of obesity on the guitar ...
This form thus allows raids ranges free and easy.
Standpoint of sound, that's only after almost four years (of loyal service) wiring acting up. To be concrete, this occurs only when I "splits" a microphone to another (his loss). Basically, you gotta go frankly without asking questions.
The sounds are undeniably bluesy. I will not say "Oh, you metalheads-its, go your way" as would be customary, nooo, that to the contrary, this guitar could even meet you! It's just you try and know what you really want to get good.
And, yes, one last detail that's worth. The mechanical blocking: the foot!

SOUNDS

I expected a typical metal guitar, but versatile enough to qualify as blues or ballads.
The nuance here is: what is a typical skyscraper blues / country / bluegrass / ... but versatile enough to claim that the metal (type?).
It is therefore indeed the Fender hardcore, but his three Enforcer allow it to spit big fat riffs galore.
Anyway, anyway, the various additional sound effects will only give you a quality result saw the violin very correct this guitar.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 4 years, have never been disappointed her. She always gets me out the sounds that I expect.
The quality / price is justified, despite the "Made in Mexico" written on the back of the head were it only to owning a Telecaster unique in its triple "Wide Range", with its versatile and sounds look.
I do not regret my purchase at all, this is a good compromise, and then it's right what I needed.
