ebrian « A good idea: tradition and modernity. »
Published on 03/08/14 at 03:23See the previous review.
Note: this is the first time that Fender guitars is manufactured in China. The handle says "modern c" is the same as most U.S. and Mexico models. I mention this because the pubs and some sellers tend to believe that the sleeves of the Modern Player series are more manageable than others. It is not Ibanez! The true color is a kind of transparent black.
At first it's weird to see a telecaster with such a configuration. The model I tested is finished, however the volume buttons and tone are a little twisted on their axis.
UTILIZATION
So nice and comfortable handle typical Fender. Usual telecaster shape with a largely bearable weight.
SOUNDS
Versatility with double which is splittable. It's very nice to have a Tele in his sleeve and a humbucker in the bridge. It was a sort tele mixture stratovolcano and pseudo-Gibson but not twang. Why did not someone think of this sooner?
Microphones crunchent more easily than on other series but keep their sound including the Fender humbucker.
OVERALL OPINION
Once again Fender hits hard in marketing while targeting other customers face tough competition.
So pleasant and affordable guitar for beginners or confirmed spoiled.
