Bought secondhand on eBay for 450 €. It had to be made around 1995 in Japan. Conventional configuration of tele with vintage characteristics (trestle bridges, ashtray etc. ...). Note: my mechanical are Gotoh (I think that's original).

UTILIZATION

I love the handle (it's no surprise the TV is my favorite guitar and I love the handle). Only one problem: I have two strings (soil and re-) emerging from the saddle when I shoot too much on it (I will ask a supplementary guide ropes and change the saddle for a bone).
Access to acute: telecaster ... is not for shredders ...
Lightweight (hollow crate)
On his own fate if only one is accustomed to TV: slamming but (in the case of this one) that comes with a soft hollow of the body. Micro acute sometimes garish (must play with knob tone). Middle position: super. Micro serious one: while (which is not the rule on tv where the microphone alone is often too severe deaf).

SOUNDS

I play blues rock and pop. I play on Marshall JCM 900 (no effect: I can play ...). All sounds come out well (= crystal clear and bright chime limit), high saturation loaded in medium and crunchy typical fender. It sounds to crunchy guitar that is most endearing.

OVERALL OPINION

I for 1 year. I had long dreamed, but it is not easy to find a model. I already had 2 other Telecasters so I knew very well what to expect. I find it increasingly looks very elegant and classy. A 450 € for Japan is a very good value for money. Sometimes, however, I feel like changing the pickups for a set of Texas Special ...
