Value For Money : Excellent
Manufacturing in China (sniff!) Maple neck, 21 frets, profile C, it is perfect.
Vintage bridge type anything to say.
Microphones excellent original invoice. The original sound of the Telecaster!
The yellowed white paint is really nice, with the grain of the wood visible in places. Another good point for the vintage look totally successful.

UTILIZATION

This is a great guitar with a very good grip, perfect!
What is surprising weight, about 4 KG. It takes a good many solid strap. She exudes this quality telecaster.
I play on a Marshall Class 5 head mounted on a Marshall 4X12.

SOUNDS

the original pickups are very good, they fully respect the original sound of the Telecaster 52, they are Tonerider.
But then, to go further in search of his home, I changed for Fender American Vintage. Are those of the 52 Reissue. Very well finished, they needed naturellemnt this classic vibe 50.
They are great, but I am disappointed, thinking really find a radical change. My mistake, the original pickups are really close to the fender american vintage. There certainly is a difference, but so little obvious. Nevertheless they are accurate, incisive, very typical vintage as I wanted. The Tonerider not be ashamed, maybe the neck pickup is a less potent hair with a little lack of roundness and warmth.
Conclusion: Keep your microphone!!

OVERALL OPINION

In conclusion, a great series. Moreover, for an amateur musician like me, it is all very well and with a great look and a very low budget.

Another Chinese manufacturing, but recognize in all honesty they damn progressed.

The classic vibe series is a must!
