telecaster a pretty good finish
Made in china

the factory settings are quite basic, this guitar requires a small personal setting before ringing according to his tastes, but this is quite normal.
for example the sound of microphones is not balanced ablolument (neck pickup very far from the strings) so your screwdriver!
"painting" is beautiful and the chrome acastillage seems good.

9 for value for money

UTILIZATION


Handle very modern, nothing to do with certain models fender that I had the opportunity to try to shop and whose handle was round and very solid, that this is rather end squier is very pleasant to the touch.

I bought to play blues, blues / rock for my gibson m3 equipped with 500t and 496R is designed to sound rather heavy (she can do fine) ..... but for the I wanted a blues guitar more sensitive to the touch ..... I'm not disappointed!!

real tv but with a certain modernity.

SOUNDS


for the blues sound I was looking for, it's perfect, except that damn "hum" characteristic of single coils with distortion (although the original microphone gives very Unson telecaster .... at this price is already not bad!), which took me to replace the bridge pickup with a DiMarzio Chopper.

longer um, a little more dynamic, especially a microphone that sounds telecaster!

Once the sound of two pickups rebalanced is magical!

its clear as saturated guitar sings, sounding harmonics and easily sustain is quite satisfactory.

I put 7 because of the "hum" for those who want to play in saturated

OVERALL OPINION


this is my Christmas present, and yes I still believe, ordered in toto with a beautiful tweed hard case is 210 euros which all must add 78 euros for the DiMarzio is less than 290 euros!

thus a value for money more than adequate, they are far from the 80's where you had to settle for bad copies!

I remake that choice without hesitation.
