«  No better at this price! A very original Tele. »

Published on 10/26/11 at 04:52
Made in Japan, very good finish violin, electronics very average against.
22 frets.
P90 Micro (Black Dove?) In a micro sleeve and classic Telecaster bridge.
Channel C.
A selector as Les Paul, one volume and one tone.

The look in contrast to the classic Telecaster too often. Here, color is modern with a cream binding, as the head. The couple microphones is also original.

UTILIZATION

The handle is a handle Fenderien, I find it a bit too large compared to my Les Paul but fun to play finally saw my hands, fingers have more room.
The ergonomics are excellent, the weight is perfect, cutting the stomach as well. The game at the end of the handle is good but there are only 22 frets.
The sound of the Tele is fabulous. It has the classic twang through the bridge pickup and also the P90 handle that offers more power, while having a well resolved (it does not sound a dark P90 Les Paul or SG).
The P90 has a lot of dynamic, responds very well with a pick and a lot of fishing. We can "tap" into it and have the power of a humbucker without compressing it. This is really a micro top that keeps the sound of snapping on TV.
The couple microphones works fine, the output levels are comparable. One can only regret the lack of two independent volumes which would have been practical to change the pickups.
That said, I will not change the pickups because I find them very good and consistent.

SOUNDS

With, you can play a lot of things, both single coil pieces as Hendrix, Red Hot, Police and all going towards heavier pieces with the P90. The P90 is sublime in the clear (high dynamic, clear, bright and slamming) and in full. It is rough with lots of saturation, it is not a modern microwave. The single coil pickup is classic with a good twang.
It is suitable for many styles from blues to heavy for the old. on the other hand, it is not for modern metal, not precise enough, not enough frets;)
I play with my Line 6 amp Valve Mk2 is perfect, all with clear Fenderiens saturations with Marshall.

OVERALL OPINION

I have 6 months, I bought it used € 400. I do not regret, it's really a great value for money. At this price, you can not find better with a modern aesthetic and original for the Fender?
Only slight drawback is that the electronic medium is to change (a switch that has poor contact, which show jack etc..) Count € 30/50.
I have tried other new models Telecaster with P90 but I preferred the price and the look of this Aerodyne! :)
