All user reviews for the Fender Special Edition Lite Ash Telecaster

A beautiful Fender factory in Corenne CORT, the seriously. Ash body, maple neck screwed 2 pickups Seymour Duncan, 1 Tone knob 1 volume. A slecteur X3 positions.22 frets. Dj price is super cool, but the instrument worth. Correct finish.

USE

It's good FENDER I like. Pleasant and quick sleeve, lightweight guitar, we immediately want to grind the for hours.
The instrument is pleasant, accessible and without surprises. With a passage at his luthier prfr one is assured of having a good plan.


SONORITS

The guitar seems to fit the kind of Sic I practice, including Pop / Rock. I test my combos, whether tube or transistor, it sounds like I like. It was the sound dry and well typ incisive and nasty, adcoiffe! For saturation is nice too, with the amp / the pedals that go. Basic rglages of tlcaster rvlent is sufficient.

NOTICE GLOBAL

This is a good report qualitprix I do not regret the purchase.

It is no longer manufactured, damages for those who do not have the scents to buy it, I think the lite ash will become an essential reference number and in the next ten years he is expected to see the prices soar on the market of secondhand, especially for the black version, which is rare.

C'tait there three months, I was looking for a telecaster for Christmas because we had just steal my TV USA reissue 52 'in the subway (4 guys, I did not weight) ...
So I went to my guitar shop prfr to buy a standard telecaster USA. I found a black, white pickard, the seller branch myself in a fender lamp, the sound is good but it's too gnrique, we feel that the guitar is alder and ash step such as 52 ', the vendor that I know well, me out a telecaster lite ash, all black only 570 euros. He told me "not pay attention to the price, you will take a big slap ..."
I plug the guitar, the neck is already magnificent bird's eye ', I start to play live on the bridge pickup: a vintage sound ultra powerful fall !! The twang of a vintage fender. I look the microphone a "Seymour Duncan". I began to understand it myself accuracy of all the guitar is in Ash and I can tell you that has made all the difference with a standard amrican alder ... It's true it made in korea and not the US, but saw the finish if it was manufactured in the USA, she cuterait 2500 euros.
Grosso modo, the guitar has the same sound as my TV 52 ', the true sound telecaster without any concession.
THE price was amazing, I bought after ten minutes.

USE

The handle is a pure happiness, C shape, quality of maple in bird's 'eye' nothing to do with a Fender Mexico and soft V neck that seems made of plastic. The neck is super comfortable, it justifies the purchase of the guitar it all alone.
The guitar is heavy, more than a stratovolcano USA but lighter than my Tele 52 'that weighed two tons!
The ergonomics are superb if you like the Telecaster.
Same for use, it is pure juice telecaster, uncompromising, very close to a vintage 52 ', it's not a Blade, but I no buys a telecaster for sound gnrique! JE want the sound tl Point.

SONORITS

Sonorits breathtaking! It is funky as hell and ideal for blues.
Neck pickup, dj fairly powerful, very critallin aWith roundness, ideal for vaccinating a pchu blues.
Worthy of the 52 ', it must be said that it is a seymour duncan too. So the quality is go ...
Intermediary position: I do not care, I never used.
Pickup: the sound telecaster which we dream at night, an incredible twang in clean, super funky.
Distortion, it could razer a city, a hard matter! it has lots of body.
All the sounds that are truly out typ vintage is the most telecaster telecaster largely worthy of the 52 United States and ten times the standard Suprieure US.

Versatility: buy a fat strat.
I love the guitar typs, I have a Gibson SG for fatty sounds a deluxe strat for nothing (I do not use it myself) and the least for 3 lite ash telecaster for incisive rock, blues , country and funk.

NOTICE GLOBAL

The best Telecaster all confused catalogs, as well as the widely reissue 52 '. I've had three months and I spent 2 hours on it every day, I get the permit Gibson Sg and deluxe strat. I am in love ...
It is no longer manufactured, so much for those ct go better for me!

Although the Superior American Standard Telecaster, I'll explain why in the characteristics:

- Features:

- Body in massive swamp ash (while the American Standard merely an alder body part ... 3) The lite ash possde thus better sustain, a more slamming and will age better.
- In bird eye maple neck just beautiful (the American Standard possde a handle lower quality)
- Seymour Duncan Alnico Pro superiors although the Cobalt Sammarium of American Standard (Springsteen guitar is mounted in Seymour Duncan Alnico Pro ...)
- Heavier brass easel than its US counterparts
- Fabrique carefully Core which reduces the price by 4, in short made in the USA, it would cost around 2000 euros.

Nothing wrong manufacturing quality is amazing! There's that look the handle to be convinced ...


USE

- Channel C ultra comfortable, with a good curve for the blues.
- Body heavier than the natural version, I do not know why I read everywhere that it is lightweight but personally having a possd American Standard, I find the lite ash slightly more heavy ...
- Ergonomics is very good, it's a telecaster, the mother of all modern guitars.
- Sound is immdiat, very typ Rock, ie incisive.

SONORITS

It is a rock guitar, blues, country, the sound is punchy and ultra deep once up 11-52 guitar like any self-respecting Telecaster ...
- The neck pickup is very round and critallin with deep bass ideal for playing power chords saturs.
- The center position raproche the sound of a Stratocaster, it allows less typ use.
- The bridge is a marvel mico On success, it is a powerful and MUSCL slap, a swing, ideal for solos Prince, one can even play with this rare Mtal microphone.
It is very far from American Standard, which in comparison with the lite ash really lacks character. If you are looking for a real telecaster, take lite ash, if you just want the look of a telecaster, take the American (blah ...)

NOTICE GLOBAL

After five months of playing with lite ash, I can no longer lick the report qualitprix is ​​extraordinary. It is widely Suprieure The American Standard so I do not speak the same highway you sounding like pans (I have tried a store). For just over a chre mexico this guitar is one of the best Telecaster manufactured by Fender. It is no longer manufactured but perhaps in he remains in store ... I love particulirement its all black look that gives it a ct rock, for playing Johnny Cash. ..dropoff window
A monument of the guitar, the Fender telecaster of more roots.

Stunning in her beautiful black color! This is the ultimate rock guitar. I was already a telecaster mexico but trying this model in stores I craqu. Nothing to do with the Mexican, it's a real telecaster with racs sounds and a beautiful round! Why Fender stoppage of Making this superb guitar and continues to produce the Mexico of lower quality? Mystery. But I know many who have sold their guitarist Telecaster USA to play on the Lite ash ... Was she shade for Fender US? I tried a standard American store and it's true that the lite ash sounds as good to see better and in any case, the handle is better.
Features: Ash body, micro Seymour Duncan Alnico Pro, bird eye maple neck ... Do not throw more than you'd see a guitar caractriques 2000 euros! And it all for less than 600 euros, 589 euros very precisely (in store, I do not buys my guitar by correspondence).
How do I make it 10/10?

USE

Super handle c, a real handle that one feels in the palm not a rod flat Ibanez. It prevents that it is super comfortable and particularly well done. It is very "high end". The body is thicker and heavier than my old telecaster mexico but nothing wicked good. The ash is heavier than the poplar mexico but it is also a much better wood. It is much slamming and ractif, so ideal for a telecaster, besides the TV premires were in Ash ...
Gets it easy to sound good? Yes, immdiatemment, it is a kind guitar "I plug and sounds".

SONORITS

I'm a lit of fuzz, a fan of Hendrix and sonic youth, I also play the Knofler clear sound, the guitar is beautiful in a register "Sultans of Swing", but also keeps a good stamp in her Hyper saturated. You tell me why buy a Telecaster to play and I saturated responds to you: for his attack dmoniaque whatever micro selected.
I still can not believe she barely rated most expensive mexico as a TV is Superior.
I play with a Fuzz Face pedal branch in Marshall, and sends serious. I love this setup.
And clear sounds? Slamming critallin, beautiful cry ...
This is a guitar shot trsractive mdiateur who loves that fits into her. Mont in 11-52 it has as much punch as my Gibson Lespaul but more powerful, it enchne riffs and solos Funk breakneck speed. While Lespaul seems softer, clumsy (well when even).

Note longer sustain than the Mexican. Let's say the Mexican as a telecaster but has no sound, while Ash is very lite typ "vintage" you know, it's a real telecaster what!


NOTICE GLOBAL

If I had known that Fender was to stop it, I have two, the price is almost 600 euros infrieur dlirant seen the quality of the guitar. It sounds much better than mexico and widely as well as a US standard (I would say it sounds even better and I think that's why Fender halt its production ...)
For those seeking the true sound telecaster, needless to 2000 euros in a reissue 52 'lite ash sounds the same and 4 times cheaper! I think the opportunity will very quickly coast soar, probably in ten years it will cost more expensive than American Standard ...
A very very great guitar.

For features, I refer to previous opinions. In summary this is a limited edition, it's CORT FENDER components assembled in South Korea.
This is a very traditional look telecaster
Ash-body: sublime with its gloss
-Maple neck (see below)
-2 Microphones including the handle of a very typical telecaster
Easel 3 vintage bridges
except that:
It birdeye Handle with landmark pearl adds a very natural aesthetic rating
-The neck pickup is closer to the handle than standard models hair. Anyway doing blunder if you want to change the pickguard!
-The bridge pickup has a "modern" power.

Quality at an appointment with a notable feature: if the general pattern remains the same, each model is unique. It is very sensitive from an aesthetic point of view: the wood is apparent in the case of wood and very typical, your telecaster lite ash is necessarily original. What pleases obviously collectors.
I love his aesthetic and this guitar also highly appealing to people who watch them play.

UTILIZATION

Light and easy to wear guitar sitting or standing.
Access to very decent treble.
I am a bit different assessments regarding the race: compared to my stratovolcano, or even that of my jazz guitar ibanez handle demand more accurately and does not tolerate much error. The varnish is dull and dry: at least it's not too slippery for sweaty hands (not my case). But you get used to quickly. It is very beautiful which adds fun to the game

Warning this guitar is pretty fussy with the settings: it does not tolerate too much either the guesswork.

SOUNDS

His strong character is there: it releases energy and a remarkable radiance.

In clean:
-The neck pickup is very round, perfect for jazz and clean blues
-The intermediate position and the bridge pickup: it has a very distinctive twang of the Telecaster, very thin, sharp, nervous. In rhythmic it rocks!

Into overdrive:
Saturation is accurate, both very low in fat and very powerful. The output level is much stronger than my Stratocaster and almost equal to my Les Paul! Basically it sounds vintage but with a modern power.
-Saturated, I use very little the neck pickup: I prefer the bridge pickup with tone adjusted serious in this case.
-The intermediate position and the bridge pickup: it is nervous, bright, clear, incisive. It severe rock but without sounding sterile. We arrive well to distinguish all the components of a good riff but beware, the approximation does not go unnoticed!

Note two small problems:
-The bass is as accurate as heavy compared to mediums. Attention to settings. It is more sensitive in its clear that its saturated.
-Saturated sound, treble generate a significant background noise unless of course the hand is placed on the strings between the phase of play in the phases of the game, RAS.

OVERALL OPINION

It is not by chance that it is highly sought after on the market for secondhand!
I tend to get bored and sell certain acquisitions but then there no question of selling this model!
This telecaster has a very strong character, at the edge of the punch in use, but frighteningly accurate and vivid if well controlled.
When more each model is unique and characteristic of an aesthetic point of view (sound I do not know ....)
This is an excellent guitar with excellent value for money. With the scarcity should still take the value.

Fender Telecaster made in just a few years from 2003. This series, which also included a Stratocaster was made in Korea in the Cort factory. You should know that Korea heels Japan in terms of manufacturing quality and this for quite some years now. I am also an old Folk 1991 880 AJ model has matured and sounds wonderful. So do not have to fears about the Korean violin that has a knowledge not built yesterday.

Back to the Lite Ash Telecaster that has all of the traditional Telecaster with some peculiarities. She mixes vintage and modern in some ways for others.

Bridge Vintage 3 bridges, 2 by ropes. The ideal sound for the former! With a little patience, a good tuner and ear, can successfully resolve almost perfect intonation and the guitar is just about all the strings and the whole key. Black plate a fold, it also vintage fashion. Ash body as the first Telecaster. Here we are treated to a black light swamp ash (called swamp ash in English) the most beautiful effect. Blond on a transparent figured well, at least with regard to my model timber. (See attached picture in my opinion) I have read on some forums that the ash does not promote sustain ... Hihihihi I laughed softly!

However, mechanical oil bath, 22 frets, medium jumbo frets, radius 9,5 ', 2 Seymour Duncan NLT-1 and TRPA-1 sound more midrange and larger than the vintage pickups, matte varnish, reported key , maple birds eyes of the handle and key. So much for the modern side and the differences with a Telecaster in true vintage style like the 52 'Reissue.

UTILIZATION

I do not quite understand the choice to bring the maple fingerboard on a maple neck the way of what was a choice for some Fender 70s. Especially since the neck is maple birds eyes as the key that is more ... Mystery ... Despite this, the truss rod is inserted from the rear, causing the famous smashes the back of the neck then covered with rosewood. Good ...

However, excellent choice of matte varnish on the handle while allowing comfortable disjointed and silky touch, quoâ class. The handle is thick enough C, 43 mm width at nut, standard and so comfortable.

SOUNDS

Regarding the sound, the instrument sounds great vacuum already. The sutain is remarkable, especially as the Telecaster is not known for it in general. Of course, the note does not last as much as a Les Paul but it is to honorable and is not far from Les Paul, especially in the lower register of the instrument. It may well be living with the note vibrato and other links, slide (the fingers) in particular, is a real treat.

Once connected the beautiful, acoustic sound characteristics are confirmed in power.
I should mention that I made a change on my instrument. I went to Seymour Duncan's original Joe Barden Danny Gatton T-Style, the violin amply deserving. And I must say I'm not disappointed at all!
That's a good 20 years since I heard about this little known brand in our region. Comments are always appreciative, mostly as THE best choice of replacement pickups for Tele. I knew Danny Gatton used them, being huge fan of the guy, I finally take the plunge.

Indeed, what a slap! An incredible fishing. Its clear and pure but warm at the same time. Powerful microphones, hyper defined, punchy and meeting all the nuances of the game and all this without any buzz! Microphones being humbuckers to single format. I even managed to sound very warm kind Gibson neck pickup and lowering his tone almost mini. Completely in the spirit of the great Larry on this video. "Http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPWOW2z5yZA" Amazing for a Telecaster which is supposed to deliver more clear sounds, slap and shiny. Really impressive ...

OVERALL OPINION

Incomparable to the Mexican who is buried office. It is in line with the U.S. standard. I wish I could compare it to the famous 52 'Reissue. On the aesthetic level and quality manufacturing Lite Ash has nothing to envy to the 52 'RI. As for the sound, I am confident that with Joe Barden pickups we are well above the Fender American Vintage Tele. The ash body with maple bound the key gives slamming the attack of brilliance to the sound but also the depth and resonance. What a success. Read more from my colleagues on the beautiful and you will find that this shovel is almost unanimously. It is not a coincidence and it's completely justified. Excellent quality / price ratio at the time when it was on sale € 500 / € 600, roughly from 2003 to 2009. So now time to 350 € / 400 € is ca-deau!

I put 9 because the insert key. The attack is almost as snapping that frets placed directly on the handle but why this choice? The birds eyes are a little more dense on the key handle, perhaps it is because of that? ...

Today it is no longer made so if you come across one, try it there and if you want a good Tele and it is for sale, so do not hesitate one second, DARK!

Made in Korea (I don't know if North or South Korea, but I don't give a shit LOL)
US parts (it's good to know that the wood comes from the Miami experts series)
Bridge: Yes, fortunately
Birdseye maple, type C neck
22 frets
Seymour Duncan pickup
1 volume 1 tone
Lubricated tuners

UTILIZATION

To use it you have two options, either you take a course or you figure it out for yourself.
For the rest:
The neck is type C, which means it's thick (but it's not a beam either)
22 frets, which isn't bad (more than enough to entertain yourself)
Access to the upper frets is average, it's hard to hold a bend (compared to a Strat).
Other than that, it's really fast, but be careful if you have fat and big fingers because you'll press several strings at the same time LOL
Personally, I love the swamp ash body, it's cool. To my knowledge, only this guitar and the Strat of the same model use this wood.
It has a normal weight and it's well distributed, which is important when you play 2 hours live onstage.

SOUNDS

In this regard it's the best! I had tried lots of Teles, because from what I had heard about them I thought they'd be the best for the music I play. On a Squire you need to invest $500-$600 to have something decent (and then it costs almost the same as a Mexican). And then you need to invest $800 more on the Mexican...And then there's all the copies, which aren't worth it.
But I'm digressing...
I play pop (funk, soul, r&b, reggae) and it's amazing.
I play a fender blues junior with a digitech RP 500 pedalboard, it's amazing.
The bridge pickup is killer, its twang is marvelous and the neck pickup add some balance for rhythm guitar.
It's versatile but with character.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had it for 3 days. I was able to negotiate and get it for $300 (hehe!!! I know I'm pretty good), it wasn't in the best shape, but once I cleaned it up and adjusted it (although I should get a luthier take a look at it), it's stunning.
I had an SG but I don't play much rock, then a Mexican Strat with US pickups, it was OK yet without character, but this one really does it for me.
At this price point (and even if you find it more expensive) it's really worth it. It will shut the mouth of guys who spend 12000 bucks on a US model.

Primarily a singer, I've been playing guitar for about 10 years, been in a band (drummer!), and have continued to record and play with other musicians on a non-professional basis. My styles range from folk to hard rock, with heavy power-pop leanings -- Big Star, not Green Day.

Played it for two hours at Guitar Center on Sunset Blvd. in Los Angeles. It was on sale for $629.

As its name implies, one of this Telecaster's selling points is its light weight. I usually play either an SG or a Flying V, and most Telecasters feel like a sack of bricks. This Lite Ash Telecaster feels ergonomic and very light, and doesn't have the neck-heavy issue of most SGs. The Natural finish is great, the bird's-eye maple neck feels good, and the sounds kept me glued to a little Fender Frontman amp at the guitar store for about two hours. The clean tones have that bright liveliness that's signature to a Telecaster, and the distorted tones are dynamic and responsive. This neck is the sweetest Fender neck I've ever played, even including my friend's $1200 American Stratocaster.

The large frets take a great deal of getting used to -- if you fret your notes hard, it's easy to pull the note out of tune. This guitar probably needed a setup. The three brass saddles in the classic Telecaster style make palm-muting harder than on Gibson/Epiphone tune-o-matic bridges. And as with most Telecasters, you have to be careful with amp EQ, because the bridge pickup can be ear-shatteringly bright. Upper-fret access can't compare with the SG and Flying V I'm used to, but this has never been the Telecaster's forte, anyhow.

Wonderful. Good finish, great neck -- the woods are beautiful, and the whole guitar looks and feels classy in an understated way.

Ever since I'd ditched my old Squier Strat, I hadn't given Fender guitars much of a chance. But I've always loved the sound of Telecasters, and this Lite Ash Telecaster addressed all the issues I ever had with the Telecaster model in general. It is light, it has the signature sound, it looks superb, and for once my left hand, weaned on Gibson scale lengths, didn't feel uncomfortable. Highly recommended.

This review was originally published on http://www.musicgearreview.com

Korean-made guitar.
3-saddle bridge that, contrary to what many people say, doesn't detune the guitar anymore than any other.
Magnificent neck in birdseye maple with a fingerboard of the same wood.
Relatively good Seymour Duncan pickups, the guitar has punch.
3 pickup selectors.
Awesome.

UTILIZATION

The neck is disconcertingly easy. It slides like butter, it bends like rubber, it borders perfection. It has nothing to envy high-end models.
The weight is very well balanced, the guitar isn't heavy.
Access to the upper frets is easy, too, you can go all the way to the top of the neck and do bendings without any problems.
Awesome.

SOUNDS

This is where it kicks serious ass: It suits almost all possible styles. I play essentially the clean channel, but I also like to use a good overdrive or distortion or wah-wah and it rocks. Very funky, it's great.
The lows are jaw-dropping, we once used it to replace the bass in a rehearsal with my band.
I never use a big amp, I only have a small Vox Amplug with speakers. But that doesn't stop it from sounding big, very big.
The middle channel is my favorite, but the other sound possibilities (even if I haven't tried everything) balance a good quality sound.
Awesome.

OVERALL OPINION

I love it. I bought it 4 days ago and I can't stay away from it. Its value for money is simply unbeatable, the price difference to get an American Standard isn't worth going broke. Excellent guitar, especially for $400. If you ever stumble into one, give it a try, you'll be seduced.
Awesome.

Everything has been said about the characteristics.

Mine has been modified at time of purchase to my request:
The particularity of being Teles (among others) to have a bridge pickup really acute and too garish for my taste, I did replace it with a micro "home" in DAMICO (78). It is a kind of hotrail (double simple format). He brings a little more mids and abduction (a little, but not completely) the side screaming. It was positioned too close the strings, to avoid excessive output level difference between the two microphones.

Mine is blonde with a black plate.

UTILIZATION

The guitar is a relative comfort (Tele in general): not so slight than that, well, it's still not a Les Paul and less comfortable than a Start.
It's been five years since I, and I got used to it completely.

The profile of the handle suits me perfectly. Matter of taste.
It takes very good agreement.

SOUNDS

The strings pass through the body, it sounds good, and maple fingerboard gives frank and precise intonation.

It should be aa nearly all styles of music I play: blues, rock, hard (thanks to the bridge pickup I change), reggae, funk.
IT CAN BE USED I in a Fender Frontman 212. A transistor amp with a reverb that I like, an equalization effective enough to find great clean sounds, and crunches.

I use the bridge pickup especially in crunch / saturated and it does wonders in solos, chorus, or rhythmic saturated and sometimes plain good for rhythmic sharp.
The intermediate position is that I use most. The sound is sublime in clear or slight crunch to blues, funk, rhythm and pop / folk ... Round, Bril, very clear and not tinny. Since I have the scratch, I play much more often in the clear.
The bass is also great. I hesitated to change it when I purchase for a warmer, more sal Texas style, but ultimately I like the clean side round and clear. In crunch is not bad either.

The downside is when you want to tackle the big sounds, big saturations: I do not think that this is the true regitre her, despite the change of a microphone.
So a versatile guitar, but limited to the big rock (trash etc ...)
I recently tried the whole time with a BOSS MT2, and AC seemed pretty conclusive.
To see.

OVERALL OPINION

I mostly use my telecaster for 5 years.

I spend my first guitar elec (a pale copy of srtat), I played for 10 years on a Godin G2000, which I still have. Godin is made in the United States. Start with a kind of microphones HSS and Floyd. It is a little more versatile, lighter, more comfortable, the neck is thinner, faster and lower frets. However, the rosewood fingerboard gives notes less free and less precise, and most importantly, it has far less personality than the Telecaster. The only sound is the highest level in the saturated and the micro center. And by the way: the Floyd, I'm sick (it was basically the reason for purchasing the Tele)

At the time of purchase, the criteria were: no floyd, some flexibility, although at the time I was quite axis on the blues. I tried a srtat Mex, an Epiphone semi-hollow style Shareton and ... I flashed on the Telecaster.

Later, as the Telcaster fishing in the big rock, I thought a Epiphone Les Paul style will do. So I acquired a LP-100, I keep a year. For sound ok (quoique. ..). I do not like the tune-o-matic, the location of the pickup selector (on this point I think definitvement FENDER am) ... short, I tried the adventure Les Paul, and ... not (or will be necessary when the means ...)

I'm still looking for a big rock sounds to my Tele (Fender Marauder just be a PRS, an Ibanez, or may well be another Tele HH but ...), but I think it will always be the guitar that I ' use most of the time.

I love the look (the form in general, bird eye maple handle, chrome buttons ...), its simplicity, and his personality (audible and visual).

Some problems with the jack that loosen (nothing serious) if it works nickel.

I think the value for money is good (it will be seen and old).

I definitely do it again this choice.

I will not return to the characteristics listed above by my fellow guitar players, I want to give my opinion because I did a lot of research before buying this Glinde, looking for an affordable Fender. I think could help a guitarist who hesitates as I did after some research. Mine's a triple jumpers "vintage" I do not think change for the moment, it goes out of tune so easily I think.
The three positions offer sounds interesting, for my part I only play on the position which gives access to the most acute and the rest I manage with my effects pedals.

UTILIZATION

The handle is very nice, no worries at that level. Very good point, the weight of this Glinde is really great, it is very balanced in terms of access to acute, come in: when I went to fetch her to her former owner, I try, the string curl, the setting is disgusting, and I go down on the handle the more it rings false. But I take it anyway because we feel the potential of direct and beautiful even on a crappy amp (Marshall 15watts transistor made in china's expensive owner) This guitar seems recurrent in Lite Ash deserves an obligatory passage in the luthier The handle of mine began to twist (impossible to see with the naked eye during the test) because of its bird's eye maple, very light and tends to move. Finally, it is not the kind of guitar traumatizing ...
Adjustments made: a killing, no more no less. I put a 8 to that point because the fact that the handle is not very strong and moves a little disturbing. Mine is relatively new (2006 or 2007 I do not remember exactly) I expect to see over time if it will stabilize. It is mounted in 10/46

SOUNDS

I can say that I'm on your ass, micro Duncan is a terrible efficiency in its clear, and what surprised me most in distortion. I play in two groups, one song in a style of street and the other hard rock and oh surprise, it fits perfectly in both styles.
It was announced a vintage sound on some forums. Yeah but it must be the amp that goes to get closer to that sound. I played on a fender tube 15watts, indeed, we find this vintage side. On my Vox VTX, it sounds newer. Although I have not had time to use the guitar with the amp because the VTX offers a wide range of sounds. I think with the settings that go well, the type of amp, there's way to much fun on the punk hard rock or the good old 70s rock. I put a 10 because it's really the sound that I love and research. I find it much more versatile than most expected eventually. And that's good.

OVERALL OPINION

I have been using less than a month, I have a Gibson Melody Maker Dual microphones that takes a hell of a beating next. Brian May I also think that I do not know fully exploited so I will not compare, it is a scratch guitar hero and it's far from me. I have a correct level and this guitar is a guitar beginner and intermediate between the high level I think. I've been playing for 7 years, I've seen guitars go and it is for its price, the best I've seen. As I said, extolling the virtues of this guitar in his clear, but the distortion blew me away. It is damn rock'n'roll. This is a guitar that is great in my old violin maker who finds that the price is a steal. My potos musicos feel the same way. I paid 300 euros, like new. When I see the shovel that I know I will keep for life. A true love at first sight, I swear.
In short, if you see one, do not miss it. You will regret it.

Great benefits for the "T Corenne".
I will not r-taler CHARACTERISTICS because all the t adj said.
on the other hand, there is a BIG Difference A model of the other.
I had dj remark on the Start 'in the same SERIES (Lite ash), and it is also true of the MODEL.
Mine does not have the problem of "Cris58" for finishing the race.
It is simply beautiful, from head to foot ...
There are just some imperfections in the wood on the body some places (rare), but the price is nothing.

UTILIZATION

The handle is "vintage" C-section, you feel immediately comfortable and more enjoyable it is great to the touch (varnish satin top).
Rglages issues, it's true it's pretty limited view of the three bridges that are double Mountains. It smells, once again, the vintage. But hey, it happens to have a guitar relatively accurate, with a little time.
In terms of microphone positions, they are 3 in number respectively: sleeve, neck and bridge, bridge. Not need more out of good Blues-rock sound.
Volume and Tone are complter the table.

SOUNDS

It is clear that void, it sounds fabulous.
And when a ring blank, normally ...
Well, there again, it does. It is of course typical as his is sharp and acute mdium load, but it's good. A, sr out of the mix. The Seymour Luter associates that work wonders.
It does not suit all styles (this is the least we can say) but ...., p. rang.
Mention specially the neck pickup (ATPR-1), plutt "soft", which allows arpges beautiful.
on the other hand, microphones requires simple, snoring has all the cots!

OVERALL OPINION

Birthday two weeks ago, thank you Little Miss wife and friends ...
I spend my time on it and I am happy with this guitar architecture.
I think it's a standard price-quality ratio, and that's what matters most to me. With the price of stuff in gnral and thin wafers, we are happy to come across products of this quality for this price (around 500).
I highly recommend this scratching anyone know what's typical of Tlcater, and want to enjoy without breaking the bank with a Amricaine not worth the extra demand in PPET ...

Since I enmenee guitar in a garage Pigalle, they asked me a 6 saddle vintage easel, and there is a treat because the guitar is just finally, a good set of harmonics and presto!

But I still can not handle me at this profile I find Huge C for my little fingers ...

Korean Tele, maple neck birdeye touches birdeye maple (moreover, the key is birdeye but the heel of the neck is not beautifully speckled (nothing to do with a musicman)
but the satin touch is nice, nicer than a standard tele.
natural finish, Seymour.

the weak point: the bridge 3 to bridge not precise adjustments.
everything else is satisfactory given the price.

UTILIZATION

The overall balance is good, it's comfortable, not too heavy.
The handle is great for a tele is a strato handle type C rather fine, well it's not the sleeve of my MusicMan LUKE but it does it well.

SOUNDS

A vacuum actually it sounds terrible, trendy, Nashville is home, it slams it right, good power mics, the bass is warm and powerful, treble is very precise and does a good job.
I have two Musicman Luke 1 and 2, I was looking for a scratch completely different, I have used, it sounds roots, the guitar is country par excellence.

Note the small noise may be due to my level of signal as seymour are very different from the EMG Luke.

OVERALL OPINION

I have just to buy it for 485 euros + 75 euros to fly in Germany in skb GE66 MusikProduktiv.
I was looking for a good tele to settle with Luke, frankly for the price it is a gift.
Much better than the Mexican one highway, and some of us standard.
Ca claque well under the fingers, each attack mediator is felt well, the nuances emerge.
It is mounted in 9 42 and is very good agreement (9) Moreover, I took it out of the case, it was granted.

Brief will be closed eyes, at this price it's a case.

UTILIZATION

The handle is really great because you can easily accder to acute and may even ring the dernire case.Elle is not too heavy but when you play for an hour up, you better have a wide strap for your poor paules.Personellement, I found the sound trs facillement IDAL because I play a lot of punk so I put everything back and you're silent jou.

Made in Korea, 2 Seymour Duncan single coil pickups, 3 position selector, 1 tone, 1 volume ... a TV quoi.manche profile C, with beautiful pins affects abalon. 22 frets.
Warning: mine was originally rotten ropes, it bordered on all sides, a horror! Fortunately, the seller has changed me gratos. If you happen mésavanture the same, remember that this does not necessarily come from the Great.

UTILIZATION

For me it's the handle. The finish makes it very pleasant to the touch. Neither too wide nor too late, so very versatile. Access to acute is easily done, even if we are not quite at the American versions. As the name implies, it is lighter than a normal TV, without this being detrimental to the sound, so good point.Que 2 knobs, so no problem getting the sound for.

SOUNDS

I play mostly in its clear, sometimes with a slight crunch: rock, reggae, blues. Is perfect for my style of play for the blues is that of happiness ... For the amp, I think I did not have the OCCAZ to hear the full potential of this guitar: 15w peavey blazer (!), Laney, Line 6 ... ah, if I plugged into a VOX AC 30 once ... So my next amp is a VOX!
The microphone is excellent sharp clear claquant.Je plays almost everything on this position. The medium is also nice. I find it just lacks a bit of potato in the bass, but it makes up with a good amp.

OVERALL OPINION

Used for 2 years, a purchase without regret. I love the high pitch and inning. I played before on an old Jim Harley, so there is another world. But I had the opportunity to test a gibson LP (I do not like the handle vintage), American Start (sound enough typed) ... Value / very good price. Without hesitation I remake that choice.

Here now a year I have this little lite ash, order in Germany: € 444 (besides the price is increasing hard law of supply and demand, so it's a guitar that has a safe return of the consumer) have to say € 444 for a fender telecaster with a sublime finish vintage white (or black or natural) and two Seymour Duncan pickups! The mind boggles! but it does not stop there, once set at the reception, one branch and the ... foot! sound bluesy / rock, ca crunch well in clean and distortion ca Depot! bridge pickup is sharp and super smooth neck pickup,

The handle birdeye C is a real treat for both eyes for hands! the guirate is really light, you can play one night (as I day of reception) without being tired of the cons that we begin jumped all sides of the guitar moves, (not like a heavy scratches like LP! )

We can then assemble individual bridges to replace 3 presents what can make a perfect adjustable Armona.

Frankly they have nothing to envy its American sisters, on the contrary try to have standart telecaster I can rest assured that this lite ash has a character!
KOREAN small hands were really good boss!!

In conclusion, I decided to put 9 / 10 in value for money (not to put 10)

OVERALL OPINION

N / A

Bought 6 months ago.

- Fender Telecaster made in Korea
- Frne body (three parts)
- Channel 22 Saddle Saddle Mouchet key boxes
- Bridge vintage three bridges. (To be replaced by ending for a way to compensate easel with bridges)
- Two Seymour Duncan single coil pickups, two knobs rglage (1 volume, 1 Tone + slecteur three positions)

A short-tele almost "standard" ...
9 / 10 jumpers for vintage ... although it works pretty good.

10/10, the bridge is replaced.

UTILIZATION

- The neck suits me very well, too easy to play my strat USD. CHAC is consistent with the acute MODELS telecaster.

- The playability is excellent, I found the the guitar that suits me. I am more comfortable with this tele with my strat USD or by my Epiphone Sheraton (It's all got a question, sensation, to refine short trs is subjective.)

-In terms of configuring pickups, nothing simpler N, N + B, B.

SOUNDS

- This guitar is perfect for styles of music that I like (blues, pop, rock, reggae, ...) Except for the trs aggressive, I find this versatile guitar wish.

Brive-I use it on my Hot rot in the same brand before selling it, the sound taient excellent. I currently play on a Roland micro cube and it suits me perfectly for home use. Micro Semour Duncan are both biting, aggressive (bridge pickup), and soft and velvety to the neck pickup.

OVERALL OPINION

- Buy 6 months ago I do not regret this investment (440 new, thank you internet)

- Buy more diverse opinions and echoes on the internet, I took a chance and buy it without even having tried it (I do not recommend to do the same), and luck It suits me almost perfectly (I strongly change the easel j'spre remove the "almost"). The bridge is changed so we can zap the most.

Thank you Leo Fender to have invented the telecaster.

UTILIZATION

APRS rglage a little hair to complete it is super easy to play. Although balance (I always play the electric upright). 80/100 I use the neck pickup but the bridge that is very well as I to belittle ct acute, he pulled a little ears ... It's not a fender, not the same timbre, but trs expressive work with a little fuzz.
You can use the ct run without problem for the jazz, clear sound with a bit of reverb

SOUNDS

I play on a vox AD50VT modlisation, super versatile amp with the right combination lite ash.
Guitar perfect for all styles of rock, blues

OVERALL OPINION

Trs good report quality price for a guitar of characters that can be stored without problem ct Chres guitar much more.

Beeeeelllle it is! (Even my daughters find it superb!) I took it in natural wood (like my old Gibson The Paul, but is dark wood.
Natural wood goes with everything, do not bother to dig for the clothes

UTILIZATION

Superb round for my little paws on the fingers ends.
Lgre, well balance. Bcp more enjoyable to play my The Paul
"Gets it easy to sound good ?..."
Well, 'need not even connect to a!

As I read on a forum that some taient annoyed by the review 'favorite' I complte:
- The handle for me really great, fast, soft touchbr /> - the rglages are basic but effective and easy to ACCS
- Normal weight (at least more than my lgre The paul)

SOUNDS

I reu ago ...... 3 hours!
Dj empty, it sounds to hell, as an acoustic! why connect?
Then I plugged into my old Vox travel (5W): These two are done for the love! - Love at first sight. No need for effects or anything, just the sound puuuur, what rgal.
I have yet to connect my old Yamaha 100 W (yes, I know that I have the old stuff, but I feel it will be good (all I want to change the fawn t you for a lamp).
I play blues, rock and pop. I wanted an "other" its my The Paul (which sounds like an LP actually) and not be more opposite.
I play in groups for fun, and I like stuff a little 'gross' and 'true'. So I'm not a fan of these guitars and modern styles, which all are made for the fawn mtal (although I live in a house all modern design!). Rock, true, is played on free-like the free, not fuses!
the sound is really good trs trs, with a lot of characters. The microphones are difference and I enjoy my choice of switch positions following the pieces - a small preferences for the neck pickup. I now have a Marshall VS100 and the pair really well for me. Crunches and distos (lgres, I make pop-rock, not mtal) sound really good. Coincidentally, my group (times of pop-rock) often chosen pieces jous based on ... of tlcaster! the sound of true rock probably

OVERALL OPINION

Ben if you like the style, look and sound is THE scratching for you, question qualitprix, are no better.
They made the coren strong on this one-l.
I think I'll sleep with

I tried Squiers and other copies and I'm really glad to have put a little more for an original. this guitar has a 'characters (like women who have the' dog ': not the prettiest, but most INTERESTED). For my part, I think we form a beautiful couple and my game evolves since I have.

The series is produced ash Lite in factories of the brand Cort in Korea, and is also beautifully crafted of trs. Mine is finishing Vintage White (White-yellow) that I find absolutely beautiful. When I Reue, action game silent bass and I was fine. Nanmois the E string and the frieze, so I made rgler a luthier who made me free. He added the bend to the handle and adjust the height of the bridge saddles.

Otherwise it is a tl "classic" except for its Seymour Duncan Alnico Pro.

Last Update: This looks really nice on paper, but with other APRS compraraison tl true it has nothing really tl.

UTILIZATION

The neck finish is satin rgal a real play. It does not stick. C profile is a nod to small paws (like mine) while remaining comfortable rhythm. Access in acute is similar to other classic telecaster's. This is not an SG! This guitar is very well balance and lightweight of the body weight frne lightweight.

Last days: the frets are well polished trs, at least on the one I had.

SOUNDS

It is well suited my style of music (pop rock) and play the stones is the best!
Although the pickups sound less bluesy than tl american (traditional) but are more typs rock, and body frne is probably something!. Sounds clear and crunches are the strong points of this guitar. The intro to Sunday Bloody Sunday arpges or Brown Sugar Crunch pass perfectly with this little lite ash.
I use it with a small combo lamps Harley Benton GA5, a RAT2 and delay pedals behringer DD400. I get super bluesy solos micro neck, and the twang in the bridge. In short a true tl.

Last day APRS comparison with a classic tele custom 62 japan, I really heard his fender, but thanks to the twangy Fender pickups. On the lite ash, and the Seymour are good but do not sound really twangy, I dcu t from the bridge pickup, bright but not twangy.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a month. In the photos, I did the Saddle Mouchet but now I love in truth it is DIFFERENT images found on the net.
For the look I wanted to change the pickguard to a white home, which I think would more class! But the pickguard I bought this guitar does not fit the space between the neck pickup and the neck is too small for the pickguard. Yet the pickguard in question is a real Fender notament Designed for Americans. However, this has 22 frets Lite ash as US!
I will find a handyman to cut me everything properly! I will give up and not not my IDE pickguard white

More or less 500 tl that this is really worth. I would do a thousand times that choice.

Last day: good for Pricem not the sounds of a real fender: micro SD are more aggressive and less twangy, and the handle, despite his superb satin finish is not of great poor finish of the frets.

Fender lite ash, natural finish, made in Korea.
two Seymour Duncan pickups with a simple 3-position selector
vintage type bridge (three bridges)
a volume, a tonalitbr /> handle birdseye! superb
The wood used perennials and promotes the energy of the guitar: trs slamming!

UTILIZATION

The handle is a rgal: I have several possd squier telecaster from home before, an Ibanez RG SERIES (trs handle flat). And I found my happiness enough round end, trs slippery.
Access in acute is relatively good: What a telecaster! noted a few frets polished a little sore and a pickguard screws tighten once!
the weight is correct, I love the tls for their rustic cot, there's no more simple: It can have a cot "buche" but that's what good!
sound "unplugged" trs is already good!
to make the best, I recommend the climb with ropes, not the 9 / 42 of the plant.

SOUNDS

I play blues, rock funk, post rock, indie all this .... this guitar has t made for my paw! I send in two Tubescreamer and a bandit 112 and it sounds!
the Seymour Duncan pickups will not give you his telecaster LE because they have an output level and dynamic really more important: they cash in fairly heavy distortion!
neck pickup: typical blues sound, with beautiful warm overtones and always shine (I use all the time the tonal background). its clear that a rgal: trsractif and soft at the same time ... Robben Ford is not far ...
intermediate position: I use it for casseroles or to approach the funky sound of a stratocaster intermediate position. its crunch can be saturated or send like Stevie Ray Vaughan. for rock n roll riffs it's nice this dip in the midrange.
bridge pickup: rhythmic unusable in my opinion: too sharp and criard.son area is the distortion or the big crunch: I served a term as treble boost for solos, I put the mic and I acute get out of the mix directly with its cutting edge IDAL to venture on flat strips albert collins example!

OVERALL OPINION

I've been playing for 11 years, I jou on Cort, Ibanez, Squier, blues fusion never approach the sound I was looking for really. s I approach a lot!.
I'd say it's a scratch for intermediate level guitarists: this is not pro, but it's good quality of TRS for the price. suprieure well with Mexican anyway ... The Baja is also a lot more versatility, but it really less gouache that LITE ASH ... forget the highway: too expensive for what it's worth. ...

I remove a point for not super finished frets and bridge pickup a little too sharp for my taste. Also note that the production looks pretty Ingala: I have a test in a store not long ago and not really ... It sounded so a try!

The original edict dated 29/10/2007
Good manufacturing Cort oblige.Esthétique

UTILIZATION

Channel pleasant but I'm used to Ibanez is still better ... Access to acute ok, scratching and not very balanced lourde.On gets faster the sound you want and it's typed.
However the frets could be better polished.

SOUNDS

Here is the foot, it seems to pass through decades of micro rock.Le acute sends a single coil, the grave is meant soft, nuanced, and the combination of the two is a TRUE SON intéressante.On TELE (more dynamic): Dry, incisive, even when typed with Seymour Duncan sustain.Merci, ash + press érable.Cette scratch is more rock than blues.Elle is comparable to Mexican, other than the baja and to most US chères.Vive much snobbery!

OVERALL OPINION

So if you like the sound a ridiculous price for TV, purchased in Germany, € 469.00, do not priver.Elle concurence the United States and Mexico as Japan avant.Sera t'she made a long time?
It's worth it and I had in hand the tele, especially US.J 'I hesitated with the Baja, but I do not like sleeves v, I wanted a sound typified not need a whole range Sound and over a push-pull is never reliable.
ADDITION OF 03/06/08:
Reaction to comments on this guitar: daring to write that the pickups are Duncan S. "cheap" is really subjective or ignorance! Thank you for Ben Harper and Mick Jagger who more utilisent.De this guitar has the twang for the following reasons: already at the base of the micro bridge with its inserted in the metal causes the crack, then the choice of wood; Swamp ash and maple fingerboard to accentuate the twang ... As such the first Telecasters were built with the wood! Later there were changes to mitigate the twang: alder body and rosewood fingerboard for example.
Added 28/03/2010:
Looking back: good scratch, varnished solid Typically telecaster sound, I did some gigs with no problem. With age the wood takes a beautiful shade warmer. However I'll change the jack plate as the vintage version it is cute but not very reliable. This scratches the custom shop and look at the cost of custom shop prole not been manufactured since 2009.
