Channel 21 boxes V
2 pickups (bridge + neck)
1 volume + 1 tone

UTILIZATION

The neck is maple wide V-shaped with a difficult grip at first but after a few nice games against worn ropes ... By The varnish is a little too thick ... So it was not easy when the sweaty palms
Light guitar, the wood is dry and therefore vibrates much empty.
Painting is a nitrocellulose butterscotch not revealing the wood grain but that does not bother me.
As against the painting is very fragile, the slightest bread shows ...

SOUNDS

From the point of view of sound, necessarily typical telecaster especially at the bridge, so very incisive very rock n roll with good volume restitution !!! Instead the neck pickup lacks character volume is less than half of the bridge ... I think it is necessary to change fairly quickly (eg seymour quarter pound) otherwise use the guitar as a pseudo Esquire ...
This guitar is perfect for my style of play especially since I changed neck pickup ...
It is versatile and sends severe to play rock, but of course also blues and jazz ... No metal necessarily ...
At amps, she tried a bit every amp (Fender, Vox, Marshall, Soldano ...) with different speakers and find that it is at the top on a Vox AC 50 late 60s ... She finds its character but not necessarily all its versatility!

OVERALL OPINION

Very good guitar that has nothing to envy to the US (except perhaps the microphones) for half the price !!!
This is a guitar that is quite hard to find now, so if you find one, you can jump !!

I remake this purchase without problems !!!!
