Copy "official" of the telecaster made in indonesia
agathis body (exotic wood) maple neck rosewood fingerboard
violin making good, except I just mechanical change (the ping, 20 euros).
The original strings are too soft and very poorly fitted (too low on winding mechanical) to change immediately to the beast takes the agreement.
2 single coil pickups
3 position selector
1 volume, 1 tone
Wallnut satin colors (walnut satin)

UTILIZATION

The neck is quite thin and fast. As it is new, it hangs a bit but that's normal. In a few months it will be more pleasant.
The ergonomics are not bad, except that there is no cutting in the abdomen as the strata, and I find it a bit annoying (mas is a tele, so normal). The correct weight. It's fun to play a guitar.

SOUNDS

Neck pickup: excellent, very cozy with rich bass and midrange. Rather style jazz or rock. With tube overdrive, there is no problem of hendrix.

Bridge pickup: its clear I find it rather garish, with too sharp for my taste. In full, unless it attacks the ear, but I prefer the other.

With the switch in a central position means more than the bridge pickup and the neck pickup too. In addition, the resulting sound does not seem to be out of phase as a strat is a bit disappointing.

The two microphones have a good output level to attack an amp properly.

OVERALL OPINION

I just buy it. The price is really insignificant (320 euros). The violin is good. Pity about quite a few colors available (4 I think). The excellent neck pickup, bridge pickup will in turn soon replaced by a more versatile (probably vintage seymour duncan antiquity). Switch and wiring for a revised its phase out (unless it is the pickup that makes it ).
In short, an amazing value for money, it almost felt like a real Telecaster .....
