Pickguard: 1-ply black
Scale: 25.5 "(648 mm)
Nut: 1.625 "
It is simply to fall visually. The birdseye maple ca makes really good!
For against my last fret reveals glue ... ahhh Korea ^ ^.
Small flat on the vintage bridge (we like it or not), I personally find it quite hard to adjust (height and intonation set) so I plan to replace it with the new bridge Fender (new vintage) with six adjustable saddles.
Flat on the second mechanical bath oils that seem pretty cheap! Very soon replaced by a mechanical locking Gotoh.
-2 To fret drooling glue, bridges and lifts: 8 / 10

After a few days of play here on the telecaster ms ripe fruits of reflections.
The guitar is obviously not delivered if not set up microphones
I have a completely dead fret (the 18th), so I'll have to make a schedule!
The handle is hollowed out, despite pulling too light.
UTILIZATION
This is the first Telecaster, even though I already try some TV.
The handle is a delight. Visual feast, feast at the game! It has slipped back! Even a shredder will find his account.
Small problem: the junction body / neck is square ... it can be unpleasant if you want to play high enough.
The body is light ... really light! One wonders how it will age all this!
Everything is well balanced, is fun to play as much as sitting upright.
Ergonomically speaking it's perfect! A real TV!
on the other hand as stated above the vintage bridge with brass saddles I am moderately fan!
9 / 10
SOUNDS
Versatile is the word for this TV! She forged everything and seems to blues and rock!
Metal less!
The pickups are good! I love the lipstick to his hot stick, and so round!
Flat for the bridge pickup! It's really loud! We love, we love it!
Warning against the parasite! The pickups are very sensitive!

Micro Channel: The sound that I prefer most. LIPSTICK's a real, warm and round! A joy I can not get enough! Very balanced for a neck pickup in a tube amp is a real massacre.
Bridge Pickup: Micro-saturated ... really too keen. With a good "twang", the beautiful harmonics coming out easily. But far too sensitive to noise. I'll change it for a lil punch in GFS (a humbucker size single coil.
Intermediate position sound very strat! Funky and groovy a wish, even if it loses a bit of personality to the microphone!
9 / 10
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for one hour, so a notice is hot! I reissue it later after careful use!
I love the look of this TV which seems straight out of the custom shop ....( CORT plant in Korea in truth, plant that is fairly well known for its guitars of good quality). A bird's eye maple everything peter!
The finish is really good (apart from a few notable failure) for a guitar at this price!
I tried a Mexican standart .... it had the bridge to six bridges and more ... a few pounds too, but all that charm and less! When we think has a TV has less than 500 euros which seems new and unique! There's something to ask about the new standard Fender 1000 euros and a US wheelbarrows! The value for money is excellent!
Go for it! Try! Et ... maybe ... Buy your eyes closed!

The balance remains the same: A beautiful instrument, very enjoyable to play, to Its actually taking and higher quality thanks to Seymour Duncan, but finishing at the very limited run (only the last frets but it's still annoying) . Production seems to uneven!
