Fender Corérenne produced in 2003 only. Telecaster shape, but thinner and contour. Channel 22 jumbo frets rosewood glued. Marking abalone handle, graphite nut. Mechanical clutch, chrome hardware smoked. Fixed bridge with 6 saddles modern type. A single Seymour Duncan Invader microphone and volume. So very simple guitar, but the little that is present is of high quality. Must obviously love the band "GT" white.

UTILIZATION

Channel end, flat button. Badly set when I got it, but it is a second hand. Easily obtained a fairly low action, unable to expect to be very ready. The comfort of the handle is good for rhythm, but it's not a quick guitar solo play. Access to acute very easy. The guitar is very light, fairly well balanced.

SOUNDS

It is an ideal guitar for the punk and metal riffs. The SD invader off a very impressive gain adapted to the big sound in rhythm. Lots of bass, very good in palm mute and with many harmonics. As against the grain suffers for solo play while he lacks a bit of personality. Surprisingly, the microphone (and guitar) is doing very well on less extreme music and blues / rock crunch, including the solo this time are very compelling. As against the clean sounds are not area, although they remain possible.

OVERALL OPINION

This is a great rhythm guitar, simple but well finished, designed rather to punchy music. The set neck is quite original for a fender and adds body to the midrange of the instrument very light. So, we are in the heavy, though not of course in the bold way Gibson, which proves to be very nice if we look sharp and loud sounds that are not provided nasal.
She was sold at 900 dollars initially, but you can sometimes find around 300 euros used, making it a great deal.
