    This is the simple Tlcaster mexico (I in midnight wine)

    UTILIZATION

    The handle is polished but not enjoyable trs (APRS all this comes from Mexico), size for the rhythm.
    CHAC is the acute trs way but it is a rhythm guitar I do not ca Gnant.
    The body shape gives a solid appearance (it is not prsence bodies finely size SERIES sword Ibanez) but that's what makes it so charming. I think its weight (6kg I think) is reasonable and everything is equilibrated!
    The sound is achieved very easy, it's a T, it sounds like a T and it is what is asked!

    SOUNDS

    Ben is a Tlcaster navique always more or less familiar ground! I find it to IDAL blues.C rock and is sure to mtal, it is not for, do not abuse it either, micro humbuckers are not!
    I play on Marshall amps and I could try it on different amps, a ben tl always sound like a tlcaster! But it is true that combining it with a Marshall Shifts to have a fatter sound than a Fender amp.
    The bridge pickup allows laymen to understand why we say that Tlcaster ca claque while the neck pickup has more roundness and warmth to the sound. The position intrmdiaire I almost never use it, but you know the tastes and colors ....
    I can not put 10 because I would put this note to a team of Tl amricaine Noiseless.Donc I put 9

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for nine months and I must say that I love!! And yet I'm a fan of mtal (a banned here) but a personality Tlcaster possde a typical sound that I love. Of course everyone will not like but it leaves no indiffrent. Personally I find that this is the most beautiful guitar! What I like about my guitar? that particular sound, this aspect of "old-school" that you will never find on an Ibanez (note I'm not saying that ibanez is zero, it is not the same trip that's all). I try to by many friends full of guitarists MODEL (Ibanez, Jackson, Charvel, Les Paul) and I do not regret my choice! One can even think in a time deuxime change for noiseless pickups to scratches again this amliorer. The ratio quality price is excellent (and I think it's better than Fender Mexico all plants Coren and Japanese but it is only my opinion). I would do this choice of course! For despite his default, this guitar is unique. But that's my opinion ... and you know what they say about opinions ...

    I love the clean sound
    but its excellent ac a multi branch depending on the effect used all the sounds are excellent

    Made in Mexico.
    21 Frets
    Vintage Fender bridge type (mechanical Ping)
    Alder body, maple neck one piece.
    1 Ton, Volume 1,
    Channel C
    In short, it's a Tele, everyone knows! It would make a good slogan.
    The mechanical it seems a little light. I love them like that, why take the points? In addition, you can always compare and find better, is not it. These mechanical fulfill their role, and that's it.

    UTILIZATION

    Channel ideal for me at least. It is slightly polished, does not stick, it's slippery and it's nice, yes!
    Access to acute: OK, it's a Fender, but I think we play the 21th box rarely serious.
    Excellent ergonomics. I do not know how much weight a guitar, it is …

    Channel ideal for me at least. It is slightly polished, does not stick, it's slippery and it's nice, yes!
    Access to acute: OK, it's a Fender, but I think we play the 21th box rarely serious.
    Excellent ergonomics. I do not know how much weight a guitar, it is at least as heavy as my Mexican Strate. But we are comfortable with, nothing to say.
    Get a good sound: it's easy, just plug and play. In fact no, we did not even need to plug ... it's true, I also like playing like that, in acoustics.

    SOUNDS

    I am very rock and blues. The Telecaster excels in these records.
    I play with a Roland Cube 30 from home, not a panacea amps, though very correct, and it's still really fun!
    I would say that the issue, there are two possibilities: either you play clean channel, and there you get a good pickup in Twang, a good blues mellow neck pickup, and a hybrid of the two middle position. The sound, clear channel, is excellent, not too sharp, not too serious, well-defined.
    Such a saturation pretty frank, one remains in the rock, the Telecaster can.
    on the other hand, in the style groooooooooosse saturation bourrain Metallica, Evanescence, etc ... (I like the way) the sound becomes a bit messy. I do not think a pure metallic and hard drive in there's something. For me, it happens again.
    Incidentally, I find the original pickups more than adequate, better than those of my Strate mexico (original). I have no plans to change them for now.

    I put 10 because I do not think the problem is a large saturations precisely. You do not buy a Tele to play Metall. She is doing very well with a good distortion, but do not push it too much either!

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've had .... one week. Ok, it's not long, but since one week, I did not let go. On this guitar, I like everything. She's beautiful, she is finished, there's really nothing wrong (yet, I know to be critical!)
    New paid 520 euros (I live in Germany), I find amazing value for money!
    I have long procrastinated, between a US and Mexico. Being left-handed, I had to order my US .... and wait 8 months! Pfff. Having read a lot about Fender Mexico, I say first said it was better to wait ...
    And finally, I still took the Southwestern, and frankly, I do not recognize this guitar in the negative reviews of Internet users.
    Many agreed that the Mexicans have made serious progress in the quality, I think they are right ...

    My little Tele Midnight Wine Has factory in Mexico, alder body polish, Saddle unvarnished handle ... CHARACTERISTICS for more technical I am not qualified all I can say is I love this guitar.

    UTILIZATION

    The handle is extremely enjoyable, I who plays guitar for a few months, I promne on the handle, the highs are easily accessible? Also the guitar is lightweight and fits comfortably in hand. For sound: it was a very easy clean slamming his powerful and well when we move into the more saturated it is also fun with an awesome power.

    SOUNDS

    Playing mostly Rock hard enough like Nirvana, this guitar is perfect as it can go from a good clean sound trs enjoyable sound distortion but still quite dirty even INTERESTED trs sound. I use a Fender 90W amp with distortion pedals of any kind, and it is a vritable happiness! With the right pedals it is a clean promne between both soft and slamming and crashing very fat, but fun!

    OVERALL OPINION

    10/10 in every respect for this beautiful instrument that I use only a few months. I started on guitar Squier Strato and the passage has a t a Mexican Tele vritable rvlation. Also this guitar has a history vritable for me, and I find it REALLY beautiful color with red wine. The quality-price ratio is excellent because for half the price of a US Tele Tele Mexico was one with the same microphones, and many APRS is even better than the pros srieu Highway 1 . I prfere is the ease that a player has to play beginners like me on this guitar. The best choice, and I advise all young guitarists who want to start guitar on a beautiful MODEL trs.

    Fender Standard Telecaster [1990-2005]Published on 08/11/08 at 18:53
    This is the Fender telecaster that is manufactured in Mexico. It has 22 frets, as well as the standard telecaster setup as far as bridge and pickups. The simple bridge and the two pickups - one standard single coil and one of the lipstick types. It's got a volume knob and a tone knob for bass/treble balance. In addition, there is a pickup selector for switching between each pickup or both. The neck is a blonde hardwood.

    UTILIZATION

    All of the telecaster makes seem to play quite nicely - even down to the Squier variety. The neck has a very smooth feel that is great to play. There is a large cut in the body on the telecaster so access to those high notes is easy. The design …

In addition, there is a pickup selector for switching between each pickup or both. The neck is a blonde hardwood.

    UTILIZATION

    All of the telecaster makes seem to play quite nicely - even down to the Squier variety. The neck has a very smooth feel that is great to play. There is a large cut in the body on the telecaster so access to those high notes is easy. The design is very ergonomic for standing or sitting. Telecasters have a very distinct sound - so if you like the sound of a telecaster then it won't be hard to dial up something you like.

    SOUNDS

    The telecaster is generally best suited for country music, and certain kinds of pop or alternative where you want sort of a twangier or more jangly sound. This is where the telecaster shines. This particular make though - the mexican manufactured one - is definitely a bit inferior to the american counterpart. The american guitar is built more solidly, and it's easier to get a nice sustain on it. The mexican version uses cheaper wood and components, so the sound does suffer a bit. However - this guitar still generally sounds good. The best sounds seem to be clean or with perhaps light distortion, on twangy lead lines or light chord comping. The new age wall of distorted guitar comes through a bit weak when played with a telecaster however.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've had one of these for about 3 years. I like the easy, smooth playability and its unique twangy tone. A caveat is it's relative lack of versatility when compared to say a stratocaster. However, used in the right context - telecasters sound really great. I've tried a wide variety of electric guitars. Since it's mexican made, you save a few hundred bucks. If you're really a stickler for great sound, it's probably worth the extra money for an american telecaster. But if you're a newer guitar player - this is still a great deal and a nice sounding guitar. At this point I personally would opt for the American version, but this guitar is still not bad at all.
