Value For Money : Excellent
Standard Fender Telecaster made in mexico, body ALDER (Agathis not!), Neck and maple fingerboard.
the neck is quite thin profile C, 21 medium jumbo frets, 2 pickups simple "hot standard", volume controls and tone, 3-position switch.
A Telecaster, what ..!

UTILIZATION

The handle is quite nice, although the edges of the frets are not polished enough. It's nothing serious, it can be corrected. The frets themselves wear out rather quickly, I noticed that a little scary but hey, will polish them more often ...
It weighs its weight casually but well distributed (this is not an old Les Paul either!)
After declining a little action, the sound is pretty good, well-typed Tele, and slammed full of harmonics. I found the need to touch the settings a bit (action, microphones etc.) to be optimized and the sound is already more valuable. But it sounded a lot without my key and was not too badly regulated.

SOUNDS

If we play pop, rock, punk, funk, jazz or blues, it's doing very well. Basically, anything that is not saturated at the far going well. This is obviously not metal oriented and co.
The result is a very slamming his hand quite round and easel next round. The intermediate position may be interesting but I mainly use the bridge pickup. I play mostly pop-punk on a Hot Rod Deluxe edition wine red through a distortion and a California Wampler Ego Compressor and the sound is excellent.
The guitar sounds pretty sharp, it's a tv that is true but that's mostly due to micro I think. I count the change and mount special Texas later for a fuller sound and more powerful but it has already original sound good for those who love slamming his property, typed and Fender Tele.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had almost a month, ordered on the internet. This is my first Telecaster, I had never tried before and I am totally conquered. It's been a good dixaine years that I played on my good strats exclusively (except for a Gibson ES335 recently acquired) and swore by them but now I found something that suits me as much or even more sometimes! That is to say! The price / quality ratio is excellent!
For do change the pickups with vouchers, it was a really good guitar that sounds great! Well, we must nevertheless bear in mind that this is not an american series or a custom shop, it will age well but perhaps less good for the price there is no better and it's still very very correct, despite my case for 2 or 3 small cosmetic defects fortunately not too visible.
I do not regret this purchase one second, it is the same rank as my favorite guitars for years!
