Guitar factory in chine.21 freight. 2 micro simple tone volume.

Already the product is very well packaged, immediately I was surprised by the overall quality of the instrument. The body is soft comb with a varnish and regular, the mechanics are quite surprising comfort and tennue, the entrance of jack on the side, was reinforced by a holding plate on my model (good for the danger of this type of input), everything seems to hold properly, the chrome is clean, only the selector looks weakling (like all the TV!)

The body is heavy enough to ensure a good balance with a very light stick.

Does it have two micro including a simple chrome.

I had heard strong criticism on the quality of this instrument, or fender bah heard complaints and significantly improve the product, or I'm not demanding (knowing that I play regularly on a fender USA).

UTILIZATION

The handle is really not bad, is good on one does not comfort and speed of the handle U.S., but account tennu price, there must be one of the best race in this range, most of mine being good rule, I immediately found my mark even with my big finger.
The accessibility to acute is very good.

Sitting or standing this guitar seems pretty well balanced, telecaster forces, no muzzle behind the upper body so it supports just about the belly button at a time and must be accustomed to the forearm.

His e micro level acute lack of clear level is obtained on the other hand already sound CORRCT with the famous twang, he manages to saturate not bad, not too much for a single parasite and all the strings appears carefree, an experienced guitar player will arrive The fun has to do couinner in every sense!

The splittage reveals itself in its clear the best option, the power of micro and severe acute finnesse microphone provides a true Fender sound as I have known the old stratovolcano, ca me surprised.

Saturates in this option is useless, neither blues nor jazz.

And precisely for these options there is the neck pickup, which saturates in a well done for these bold style, without being super accurate, he made his taf, but will not remain in the annals.

In its clear I do not really find him of personality but it has the merit of being well this what is rare in this price range.

SOUNDS

I play blues as well as the punk with the guitar, in all cases I find my account.

I play either on a podstudio GX. (I can not wait to test it on my scratch mesa)

I like the micro acute but huge lack of output has thus forcing up the volume and therefore creates noise, I think I'll change it against a real fender tele.
That said I use this guitar at home, to get a little close to his fender when I record, history of the couple with my Gibson SG, so it did its job all the same, the twang of well being.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two days, I like its ease of play and finish surprenente for this price range (I've seen tv mexico worse!).

I play guitar a sacred packets before taking this model is best for me in this price range.

It is clear that the value for money is exellent, even by changing the micro (about 50 euros), the model is for me the best place in her class schedule.

I would do without hesitation that choice, certainly it is written above Squier, but when emme have the pleasure of having a TV, AC and it feels much more pleasant than another guitar more upscale. I advice to all beginners but also experienced guitar player like me who wants a good cheap guitar and little to lug everywhere.
