«  Modern Versatile Telecaster »

Published on 02/28/12 at 04:04
A Japanese (MIJ) whose production has been resumed but stopped.

- Japanese ash body (Sen Ash), the wood is quite heavy.
- Deck fittings gold (fast messy) and golden bridge fixed.
- Dimarzio Twang King pickups (neck) and Chopper (bridge)
- Split out of phase with a selector
- Volume

And that's all. It's very simple, and it's very effective.

UTILIZATION

The handle must try it. It is damn impressive. I like.
I would have preferred a better cut to ask the right forearm could be more comfortable, but you get used to as the guitar is good.

Considering the width of the handle, it is easier chords in terms of accuracy, but I should think, a little more effort to flatten them well.

For games like Lead, it's very comfortable, but it requires to remove the fingers differently. But it's the same, we made it. The end is not less accessible than other guitars untyped Shredd.

To find a good sound, there is so little adjustment, the sound, it was live! It is crude, it is Good!

SOUNDS

It's a pretty versatile guitar:
The Twang King neck pickup gives the Vintage. It should give him a good Blues, Blues-Rock. He realize that both Clair Overdrive
The Twang King & Chopper split end rings, and slamming into crystalline phase out. Super Clear sound in this configuration. Phase, it gives a bigger sound with a higher output. Useful for the Jazz, but also great for making Leads.
The Chopper sounds pretty modern. It is not easy to have a pure typed his Country. on the other hand, it can be used to make metal if you have the proper pedal.

My current configuration:
Emma PisdiYauWot (Metal)
Mi Audio TubeZone v4 (Overdrive)
AMT SS-11A (Preamp & Crunch)
VisualSound H20 (Delay & Chorus)
Return via the Blackstar HT5

The sounds that give me the guitar give me satisfaction. It's a bit an off-roader that go very well in its Vintage and in addition, can attack the heavy (but not too much).

OVERALL OPINION

After 2 years of use, I can say that this is a very good guitar.
Easy to use, efficient, versatile in my styles of play: it's all I ask!

I've tried several, one struck me that I would not have had to sell: Blade RH4 Classic maple fingerboard with T_T which gives pure beauty of sound but requires too much adjustment due to multiple active configurations.

But for the price, this Telecaster worth it for its build quality and sound it provided. I remake that choice of course!
