Value For Money : Excellent
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.
