Squier Telecaster Japan 1985 "(Series E)
Channel 21 vintage frets maple,
Bridge "top-load" (no strings traversing) with six bridges: damage to the look but not sustain that is the appointment,
Black body with white cover plate 1 fold, 5 holes.
Telecaster standard settings.
I changed the mechanics for Shecter 20 years ago ...
UTILIZATION
The neck of the guitar is very nice, fast for a guitar of this age, the string height is low. The pea is 3.5 Kgs. The finish of the body is of quality. I would have preferred sunburst or cream in 85 but obviously, there were only black (other colors ever seen on the net).
The hardware and electricity has not changed in 20 years but this guitar has hardly been the stage and rehearsal (I bought it just before you stop!).
Otherwise, it's a Telecaster with its intrinsic qualities and faults.
SOUNDS
A super versatile enough guitar (blues / rock to pop to funk). Like any Telecaster, ideal for crunch or funky rhythms. Not so ridiculous that it's very saturated in even if it is not his favorite.
The neck pickup provides beautiful sounds warm and round (you can even delude the jazz, if not the look!), The micro acute is comfortable for the rhythmic funk and the rest, medium position in crunch provides the full range of sounds of British rock that I like!
I like the comparison with a standard and a Mexican American to see. I never had the chance.
OVERALL OPINION
I bought this guitar in 1989 1500F used a guy who told me it belonged to a beat-up guitar of the mouse. I was not in a U.S. music and ducks praised the quality / price Squier Japan that cost half the price of American. There was not much on the second hand market. I jumped on it.
Since I tried to sell it (once to buy a strato U.S. I have not kept it ...) but 10 years ago nobody wanted. Now it is rather sought!
I have no regrets, it's fate, it is attached to me and I her. So I keep for my future back on stage amateur rock!
Often hesitate to trade their pickups for fender U.S. but I'm afraid to spend a lot of money and not earn much! Must be compared carefully before.
Finally an excellent Telecaster for cheap, much better than it seems Mexican. Look carefully and with patience, we can find OCCAZ for € 300. Go for it!
