All user reviews of 5/5 for the Fender TL62

Guitar Made in Japan, the body is alder 3 pieces maple neck and rosewood fingerboard D 1 piece! 3 tone sunburst very successful. Negative, the red button on the sunburst was not made under the pickguard! :/ ....
I did some modifications: I replaced the bridges by other brass. The original pickups (very correct) were changed by Bare knuckes suggar Brown. In addition I installed a direct output and a device the tone for the 2 pickups in series, it gives me the sound of a humbucker.
I put 7 because of the body 3 pieces, even if the choice of parts is made and the joints are virtually invisible. 7 also because of the lack sunburst under the plate.

UTILIZATION

Nice handle and end that fits nicely in the hand. Access to acute is not a problem after a little time to adapt (ie this is not a SG). the guitar is not heavy.
Find a sound is simple: three mic positions, an already exeptionnelle versatility base, you can go from jazz, pop, blues, country, rock, fusion and hard rock. You just have to turn the potentiometer extremely responsive tone.
With the mods mentioned above, it allows me to direct output to have a slight boost for solo or have a killswitch (if the flight is zero). With the series connection of two microphones I put one foot in the world of dual and direct output I cruncher any tube amp. (Even a mixing console once: D)

SOUNDS

A treat: This guitar has a very clean person, not really a TV even if it follows very clearly. The sound pickup is because of the bridges brass and rosewood fingerboard, less sharp than an original. Nevertheless it retains a characteristic twang a little more discreet.
To fast is a guitar to do everything (except hard core thrash metal symphony)
when it shows its limitations, it is only the sexiest, the guitar vibrates everywhere, the sound of metal easel outlet on hard rock. On Led Zep is magic (besides I play Led Zep exclusively on the TV, my Les Paul is in the cabbage, not enough rough)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 6 or 7 years, this is my main guitar, I'm not afraid of scratching or otherwise. This is typically THE guitar roots by excellence! When I do not know what I have her and I take after affine with the Stratocaster or Les Paul.
I bought this guitar in a famous shop in Bastille, I tried all the TV store (Baja, Us, even at 2500 €) and then I saw this little last 900 € it seems to me, without even plug, played acoustically, she immediately convinced me of his qualities.
I do it again without hesitation that choice today .... maaaaais now it exists in U.S. ... see.
Super shovel

Model japan 1999 reissue 1962 classic sunburst with dual binding characteristic of this year. american standard Tele bridge current, neck rosewood fingerboard 21 frets, thin enough, radius 7.25 ... mechanical vintage, pick 3 white folds.
I mounted microphones texas special, and changed the tusc nut to a bone nut. 1 3-position selector (changed with a new fender because the original was broken)
microphones origins were nice but lacked character, a bit dull. they were seymour Duncun N1 and S & D B1. I made an aluminum shielding cavities because bcp parasites buzz before, now it's nickel
mounted with strings D'Addario 10-46

UTILIZATION

The handle is top. the radius can not be delivered too low action if you want big bends. (Currently 2 mm fret12) but essentially rhythmic scratching ... I love this set, parfais for rythm soul, reggae, funk, crossed with a lot of chuckles, etc. ..
rather thin neck, nothing to do with a baja example.

SOUNDS

its typical TV. a bit less twang without the bridge with brass saddles, but better accuracy settings, and a great twang anyway. the texas special pickups give character. bridge position very punchy, jazzy neck position, middle limit dire straits ...
I play Marshall Valvestate 8280 or so live rehearsal on the sound with 2 multi effects in series (one ToneLab st 1010 and zoom just to equalizer) and it works great!

OVERALL OPINION

I for 6 months. it is a TV, it is not to make satriani, but for well-typed rhythm is not better I think. I bought 500 euros OCCAZ + texas special pickups, so it's a good investment anyway, but compared to us on TV, I am not blind trial that we can differentiate ...
great guitar

Made in Japan.

The handle is less than a round or US Mex. I personally prefer.

UTILIZATION

For me, the handle is best. Fender handle the least traumatic for the "Gibsonian".

SOUNDS

It is a skyscraper of rock'n'roll. If you want to buy an Ibanez versatility.
If you want the real sound and look of killing is that is it. Timeless.

OVERALL OPINION

I showed up at the shop with 10 000 balls in the pocket.
I wanted the best of the Telecaster rue Victor Massé. Well I put my snobbery in my pocket for once and I'm left with this one. Deja, I bought it used, and three meters in the window I thought it was a genuine Fender Custom of 1962!
And when I played, there was no photo. To say, I even played that day a Custom Shop, a Mex, a Korean, a Standard and a '52 US US. The pickups are great (I believe Texas Special), with a "dive" formidable. Even the micro grave is excellent!
I unbalance of Gibson Les Paul and SG with no regrets, but I never give it away.

For those who want a Tele with rosewood fingerboard (I hate mapple, I feel a touch of Ikea furniture), no better choice. Or bcp, bcp, bcp more.

Japanese Tlcaster Rdition a Custom 1962. Three rustic bridges trs bridge, mechanical rustic (no oil bath), but reliable trs. Channel 21 cells, tl typical pickups like the rest of kers, slcteur 3 positions, volume, tonality etc ... It is now ten years and I must say the finish and polish it aged well particulirement

UTILIZATION

Channel quite physical. It's not a guitar shredder, but to pull the strings, slide the game and everything a Tele is supposed to do is impeccable.

SOUNDS

It is a Tlcaster! The sound is sharp, sharp. Trs good in bridge position and intermdiaire. A little flat in the neck position.

OVERALL OPINION

I have about 10 years. The level of finish galait widely amricaines the era, and I can not confirm the opinion dj DPOS on this instrument with an open mind on the day of purchase, this guitar Japan beat all its competitors far, except perhaps to be the neck pickup, which lacks significantly in personality. The report quality price including silent undoubtedly suprrieur (around the 5000 era FF).

Guitar factory in Japan
2 micros simple
22 frets
rglages normal: volume, tone and pickup selector

UTILIZATION

The handle is enjoyable trs
but the bars are more technical than guitars with thinner handles
It is not lgre but it is well balance and is very pleasant with a strap
This gives a very Acil its type with a tele bontwang and looking for finer rlages
gives a sound very very good
Very round and fat in the low
shouting and very late in the treble (for solos)
The position is very good intermdiaire
the sound balance is very serious and neither acute nor does dominate
Access in acute enough ais

SOUNDS

It is perfect for my style
RHCP, Frusciante, Jack Johnson, Radiohead ....
This guitar is very polivalente
Serious position you can play songs from acoustic
it may well be the hit and attack for the style RHCP Frusciante
and its very fine and clear the guitar keeps high precision with effects (such as the Big Muff has a second life with this guitar and the sound is very very good, it was the fuzz effect with all crpitements you want but it still feels point the sound quality of the instrument behind)
Same with DS2, FM4 or the wh 10
effect enhances the clarity of sound
Moreover, it is also nice to play without being branchbr /> the sound is not very powerful amplifier with respect to the other guitar

The sound is very fine but gives a good power
is above all that I was looking into buying it

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a year now
I almost sell it to beginners because I could not get used to it
But soon I got attachbr />
It is a beautiful guitar
The white binding is very pleasant
The finishes are of very high quality
the sunburst is enjoyable and natural
The wood is very good qualitbr /> I have tried many other telecaster before tournament including amricaines
and honestly I do not see any obvious difference
Apart from the price of course
I think I henceforth confined to Japanese

The report price is very good quality even if the guitar is 800 euros is still very poorly
With the experience I remake that choice without hesitate
I have not tried the guitar since I am largely satisfied with the one that seems to be very versatile

The only problem is that lesmicros provided are bad bills
and there is some noise

UTILIZATION

The handle is trs enjoyable and provides excellent comfort of play the holding of the agreement is good
Access in acute and is unhindered, and the same for dernire freight.
Ergonomics is good, the weight of the guitar is balanced and its weight gnral is reasonable.
sitting or beginners, it is still enjoyable to play trs. BMOL small, a small dcoupe on the upper back of the guitar would have considerable improvement of ergonomics, but that luxury is only available on amricain MODEL ...
to obtain the sound is a breeze, the rglages are simple and classic, but remains even a formidable efficiency.

SOUNDS

It suits the style of music for which I bought from rock to blues, it can even use the registry HARD.
I use it with my micro cube, or the single correct, in both cases, even if the rglages are much more complex deuxime on the amp, the sound is good, vintage and slamming.
In clean: word, sound fender, a must-REFERENCE. crystalline highs, the mdiums crisp and well rounded bass.
In overdrive: the bte behaves well trs, trs sound rock'n'roll, trs musical, singing a lot, with a lump in the upper lgre mdium. really the guitar is surprisingly dynamic.
In disto: Big surprise, the telecaster it happens, for curiosities I pushed the gain of the BB preamp and that of the mesa to get a big fat distortion and sharp ... in the bridge position, she released a real sound gross, and returns in prcis desire, full of harmonics, surprisingly for a vintage single coil! course in this case we must see rduire carrment cut the Tone on the guitar, if not over-acute feedback ensured.
I love all the sounds of this guitar. 9, nothing is perfect

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for more than three months.
Strengths: the handle, the sound, appearance gnrale, the report quality price.
weaknesses: book without cover or tui, which acts as the bridge saw strings, the neck pickup can sometimes lack of dynamic
I tried other models before buying, and it offers excellent value MODEL quality award, the fender and a violin that can cure through the years without problem me.
I do it again without hsitation, this choice

Telecaster 62 reissue custom

* Alder body
* Handle type C (large enough)
* Rosewood
* Vintage frets
* Mechanical vintage F
* 2 vintage microphones
* 3 position selector
* 3 color tone Sunburst

UTILIZATION

The handle is big and I agree trs well, like those of les paul standard (C).
trs is comfortable for the palm of the hand. (the varnish is of quality)
the back of the neck, is a pleasant and natural color trs taking improves with age.
the rosewood fingerboard suit me better than the maple necks (I have a better personal touchj'y'm comfortable .... everyone sees).
and then the varnish will not beat it, y 'is not (just a little lemon oil to maintain it).
In any case, including any ay frets make the game prcis.
the shape of the radius (if the strings are rules) makes the game very easy to bottleneck and trs own.
the mcaniques are trs trs are good quality and good agreement, and time please.

ergonomics standard, well ... it's a telecaster ... enough Legris (compare my Les Paul!)
trs handy, it is quite free to move.
binding makes the edges of the guitar a little "cutting" and a bit irritating if you play forearm longtemps.qu 'matter!

Access in acute is easy until the box 17me, APRS you reach the end of the handle with 21 frets, no worries.

the control of the volume and tone knob and the trs are planks and make it easy to adjust during the game

SOUNDS

The sound is clear trs
The neck pickup has a positron well rounded and velvety soft trs
Rear microphone is sharp and powerful
I find these pickups really good backgrounds and characters with enough vintage that's true, pop, rock, blues guitar is certainly a versatile trs, but with strong characters do make no mistake .

OVERALL OPINION

I had an American standard that I sold to finance a motorcycle
and a few months ago I purchased this guitar again but this time made in japan.
I myself regret the era of the American spar.
APRS lot of back and practice, I find this custom telecaster reissue 62 fnomenale
I handle all particularly friendly at Thurs

I am happy with this purchase trs

UTILIZATION

Sleeve that slides well, the frets do not tear your fingers.

SOUNDS

In addition to the background noise (see above), a ring.
the neck pickup is less powerful and almost any, but we put the two DS microphone, began snapping, and if we put the bridge, the fit at all! c 'is called a twang!

OVERALL OPINION

Frankly trs happy with the scratches ...
I have since 2 months and I have a bit of rgler rception (nothing terrible truss bridges and I'm a maniac on the height of the strings, that is not low enough! ) and then nickel! What a tl ... both rustic and fine ...
I have I keep it.

It's a Fender Telecaster "crafted in Japan" as described on the handle. The binding is absolutely beautiful and the color (candy apple red for mine) is superb
I t seeks its prcises CHARACTERISTICS ISHIBASHI on a Japanese site:

9 comes as no cover or gigbag

UTILIZATION

First of all let me say that the varnish is a utiliss trs good quality finish of the handle (frets, shape and inlays) are perfect.
Note the head of the guitar that has no hole for the truss-rod rgler, it is necessary to remove the handle for the ACCS truss-rod.
Ergonomics is a good telecaster.
It also has a good weight, compared the Lite Ash's custom '62 is heavier, probably of alder wood which is heavier than the frne.
To my amazement, these vintage style mcanniques KLUSON required to provide good agreement.
A vacuum it sounds hell dja branch is the start!

SOUNDS

I read in the reviews of previous ones critical of the microphones, which are nevertheless of special texas made in United States! Possd with a lite ash before, I can tell you that Seymour really cheap (dsl for people who possdent the lite ash) of the Texas special cot. The twang is well, even in "big" wad saturation harmonics! The bass are sche!
As for him, the micro neck brings all the softness you would expect from him, great, but may be lack of dynamics, but may be I quibble l.
I read in forums that this electronic guitar "lgre" nanmoins I do not have parasites and knobs are the sound of Manir evolve gradually. So everything is ok! So I do not change these texas special pickups that provide a cot over the pchu tl has a Japanese American Standard.

OVERALL OPINION

I sold my lite ash tele to buy me another, not a true tl factory in factories without Cort pickups fender. I visited Cologne, MusicStore, APRS and several trials with the Baja, I left with the classic Fender telecaster custom 62, which only cost me 649. Than 649 because in terms of its quality of sound and its look and is well worth it. To me, it is as good as tl US but with its vintage cot (and bridge mcaniques) so without the novelties possder Bi-flex trussrod and delta tone. So for lovers of vintage CHARACTERISTICS! I count it later install a kit Bigsby "F"!

If I had to buy a tl I think I will redeem it, with a kit to add a Bigsby!

See previous opinions comprehensive
we are really dealing with a guitar "reissue" ie a copy of the model 62

UTILIZATION

Pleasant is a small word for this race, it is puzzling gameplay
treble c never evident on a Telecaster, but not c it is asked
access is very serious though, lol
standing, it is positioning itself very naturally on the body, and its weight is not a problem
to get a good sound, with this type of guitar "vintage" is very simple, just plug in a good amp!

SOUNDS

It is absolutely ideal for any play
For example: POLICE CLASH, blues, funk, rock, even jazz ...
Andy Summers used a 62 tele and this reissue sounds the same, c simply amazing!
it is a guitar that has the "twang", which is rare at this price. it is quite snapping, normal tv, micro bass is unusually hot, I prefer it to my strato!
the three positions do offer a range of very usable sounds.

OVERALL OPINION

I for 1 year
I love it, really, it was a discovery for me, my first telecaster ...
certainly not the last
yes, I will redeem their eyes closed

So it's a Jap guitar, with a handle in C and all the characteristics of a telecaster. Simple and very effective.

Mine is equipped with Texas Special pickups, which is great, and a 3-piece brass easel "custom shop", but I do not see much use.

Prices are talking about different views are quite different, because there is clearly a confusion between the models with texas specials series, and those that have them added.

Small additions that I suggested to the designers:
- Why does the truss-rod is it stashed in the body? It's more convenient on the head!
- The addition of a 4-position switch (21 € at banzai music) adds a humbucker-like sound on guitar and propels forward, level versatility.
- The shielding of the cavity, for example with aluminum sticker is a must! Why this is not done directly in the production?

UTILIZATION

I love this set. It is not as fast as my yamaha pacifica gibson sg or a buddy, but I get tired playing less.

This gives a good sound easy, there is no simple, it's a telecaster. Just grant and plug!

Good mechanical, it is little tune.

SOUNDS

The sounds of the shovel are awesome.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had four years and I never quits! I made a fucking market research before buying it. I paid quite expensive, but I do not regret at all, I love it too! She has a personality, and it's worth it!

I use it mostly on a line6 flextone6, but found his best assets on other machines. Example of this incredible heritage AC15 ...

I had many compliments on my guitar, and the other guitarist in my group, playing on a gibson, wants one too now.

What I love about the fender telecaster guitar is it's cool when unique sustain that is very different than any other guitar in his class. When I think about the Fender Stratocaster. I think about a good clean bluesy tone and a good hard rock tone. When I think of the fender telecaster I think of more of a cleaner tone that has a fun single quills sustain that allows for a ticking time and a note separation much better than a Fender Stratocaster. Maybe it's the body shape or the neck with these guitars but they just sound's so much different than a Stratocaster. Even though they're almost similar with the sing clean tones but they are very different in their attack and field.

The fender telecaster has a neck that is a lot smoother to me and allows for a better speed playing for country music specifically. I think this is why a lot of country guitar players lean towards this guitar because it has a very fast neck and you can get those lead lines a lot quicker in my opinion and a Fender Stratocaster.

SOUNDS


This guitar is very unique and very different than Fender Stratocaster or Gibson Les Paul which are probably the two biggest rivalries in competition to this guitar. The tone of that has a nice clean jangly town that you you can get a good fun clean overdriven tone with. You have two single coils in the body with a volume and tone control knob. With a good set of pick ups this guitar can sing like nobodies business. It has a great feel and sparkle that is very addictive audibly. I absolutely love the tone and feel of the telecaster probably even a little bit more then some of the bigger body guitars. I guess it just depends on my mood whether I feel like a Fender Stratocaster or a telecaster but but lately I've just been leaning more towards the fender telecaster because that's possibly the music up and listening to has been featuring these guitars or I'm tired of listening to a Fender Stratocaster in general right now.

The tones guitar sounds great with the fender amplifier or even a Marshall amplifier. Pretty much any at the far you have will sound good with his guitar but I prefer something out on the cleaner side with an overdrive pedal. This guitar doesn't do high gain very well so if you're looking to do hard rock tones with this guitar you probably want to search for something else such as a Fender Stratocaster at the very least or definitely a guitar with a humbucker pick up installed.


OVERALL OPINION


I have highly recommend this guitar to anyone he's looking for a good clean sounding guitar. These guitars don't take distortion very well; it will sound good but it's not to the best. It's getting to be a good time for note separation and lead line playing. It has a very unique staying in a very cool sustain that is able to branch through different genres of music. At new you can find guitars right around $1200 which the great price for a great sounding guitar. This is an American built guitar and it has that quality and craftsmanship that you would expect. This is an exceptional guitar for any guitar player looking to expand your guitar collection.

Made In Japan
21 frets
Fender Texas Special Tele Pickups
Alder body, maple neck.
Channel C: Hyper pleasant, rather than on my old 50's Classic Series Tele.
1 volume, 1 tone, 3-position selector.
Mechanical? but take the road a priori, not too much detuning.
Lighter than MIM.
10/10 for the violin, finishes and pickups.
10/10 at 9, not because of the microphones: see below.

UTILIZATION

The neck is SUPER nice for a Tele.
I felt good on the sleeves of Les Paul, it makes me change my mind. On my old Tele MIM Classic Series 50's, I had trouble making force barred solos with string jumps ...
It is very light, a joy to my shoulders after my Les Paul and my old MIM Tele.
Access to Acute: yes, but nothing more, unless a Start or an Ibanez, but it's still a Tele.

SOUNDS

I've had it yesterday.
After tuning, load test. Well, the drawing is a bit steep for my taste, I'll come back in 10-46, but that's a detail (it must be a currently 10-52). When empty, there's natural sustain, a good sign. Good resonance across the wood, it feels when you hold the hearing.
Test on a 5W tube amp Blackstar.
By the time the lamps warm the amp, you plug the grattoune. First clean sound on the neck pickup. REALLY sound a little warmer, I expected a mix Tele (I'm not too much for her too sharp and sometimes slamming Tele). I had before microphones SD STL/STR2 I had before on my MIM: very good microphones own with little background noise, but too much "twang" Tele.
Bridge pickup: it goes good, however I think I will use little in his clear, this position does not suit me rarely on guitars. However, this is very unpleasant on this guitar with these pickups is the breath that is much more pronounced than with my old MIM with Seymour. This will be corrected with shielding of the cavity + 1 jack my best today.
In crunch sound, bridge pickup: a massacre! Frusciante's sound on the album Blood Sugar Sex Magic. No frills and very little adjustment on the amp is really sound.
In neck pickup is great for blues solos sound a bit warm.
Not too tried saturated fat: it's not my style, but what I can say is that the microphones do not seem too crachouiller, which is good for singles.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had it yesterday.
In point of comparison, I had a good Tele invoice, a Fender Tele MIM Classic Series 50's, but in a tone deSousa: microphones means very original (they even crachouillaient horribly simple crunch). After a good replacement Seymour Duncan STL/STR2, microphones, high quality cleaner, but it was better for her too like slamming my ear.
This 62 MIJ Tele Custom is over by the handle much better, her sound much more rounded (due to the choice of Texas Special pickups and an alder body), but while remaining Tele.
I did not want microphones Stack, let alone humbucker on my Tele. Not at all mind a Tele in my opinion.
Acquired at 580 € including shipping to OCCAZ 'is excellent value for money.
It will still "invest" to correct this horrible breath (jack and shielding). This is an excellent television that will fill the pros I'm sure.
For blues, improv blues sound a little warm, a little funk - rock / funk is the foot.
I do not want to get into comparisons with American, I never tried. But the bar is set very high!

Cf product sheet.

UTILIZATION

Being a fan of the Telecaster I had the opportunity to acquire one for my birthday. I am therefore left with a budget of 1300 € in stores in search of the Telecaster of my dreams.
I had the idea of me taking a Deluxe U.S. but after trying many models I was stuck on that Telecaster MIJ 62 because of his race. Its thinner profile suits me perfectly and I find the feel more modern in terms of comfort. The violin and the finish is beautifully made in this price range so I decided to leave this base and then customize it. Basic

SOUNDS

this Telecaster has a typical sound with a pronounced twang, fans will appreciate. The 3 bridges (instead of 6 for modern guitars) would contribute to the sour tone. The pickups are well made but without much personality. If they are perfectly usable guitar still merits a change at this level to unlock its potential. Similarly, the original bridges are not very fair and so I decide to change them also but still compensated for the number 3 and steel for a more incisive. But I keep the plate in the thickness of the steel on the personality of his. Electronics is also a bit cheap and it may be worth to put real knobs CTS.

OVERALL OPINION

I purchased this guitar from Ishibashi, a Japanese store that delivers internationally. Thus the guitar cost me a lot more (950 € in total cash costs of customs instead of 700 € at Thomann for example) but I wanted a color OLB (Old Lake Placid Blue) that not found in Europe (there are only Red, Black and Sunburst here).

Basic guitar is a superb value for money. Japanese luthier do a great job and you have a real Telecaster with a twang and a pronounced personality that can not be ignored when you're a fan of this guitar.

For cons, I find that to get the most out it is very interesting to make improvements.

To me that's what I'm doing:
- Change of Bare Knuckles pickups by Brown Sugar
- Change of the circuit board by a plate pre-wired ordered from Acme Guitar (with real knobs CTS and Switchcraft jack)
- Change of jumpers by Glendale "Groovie Little 60"
- Change of base by a jack Electrosocket (renowned for its strength)

I also bought a Fender Deluxe Case for the guitar comes in a nylon bag.

The guitar is being edited at my luthier, so I will update this review after all operations on the guitar!
