Comes from Indonesia. I have the Sunburst version that is truly original!
2 single coil pickups

Well, one problem with the jack socket that comes out a little of the body of the guitar.
Otherwise, the handle is not great all painted, hang it in places.
I also had little problems to solve harmonics on the bridge.
The strings, at first, were very poorly fitted also impossible to keep the agreement.
There are two screws that rotate on their own (one on the bridge, one on the pickguard).

Despite this, the price is quite finished, the mechanical qualities are good, solid. Wood is pretty enough even if it's a bit fake compared to a real Fender!

UTILIZATION

The handle is thick enough, if we want to capo a clip, you must put a capo of "classic". Access to treble is a bit hard but when you have big hands, so good!

In weight and size is perfect. She is tiny and easy to use.

Not connected, you can play and be heard, not bad too ...

SOUNDS

So I was interested in the sound of Franz Ferdinand, and another style, by its very clear ... Jean Louis Murat
I was looking for a sound so sharp, clear and without sustain ... And here I was disappointed by the original bridge pickup is feeble ... I switched to a microphone '62 telecaster and it has NOTHING to do! The neck pickup has no personality but is still soft, not bad for jazz, not to win when we play together!
I use the guitar with a Zoom G1 effects pedal and it's really what I expected.

OVERALL OPINION

So it's been four months that I have. I use it very often and I think for 220 euros + 70 euros Micro is a good deal. I could not compare with a Mexican Tele, but the result is what I expected ... Even if it's less "prestigious" to have written on the handle SQUIER!

+: Price, finishing correct, mechanical, size, style!

-: Microphones, the jack! Is not a Fender (can not show off)
