* Guitar made in Indonesia or somewhere in that kind there.
* Form and neck Telecaster, with two P90 pickups (in a sense intermediate between single and double) "Duncan Designed" (that is to say, designed by Seymour Duncan, but manufactured by Squier), and for each adjustment volume and one tone, plus a 3 position switch.
* Type Telecaster Bridge with string through-.
* Handle Fender typed, not so fine as some might expect but <span style="text-decoration: underline;">very</span> fast.
In terms of features, this guitar is just the best of both worlds: equipment (microphones, knobs) with a fairly Gibson typed form and a Fender neck. Each his own but I put 10: that's exactly what I was looking for!
UTILIZATION
* The handle is <span style="text-decoration: underline;">great.</span> Thicker one might expect, quite narrow with a small curvature of the button, it gives an impression of ease and astonishing speed: I play faster with less effort than on my semi-hollow. The only drawback is that you could, as a result, be tempted to play fast and lose feeling, so you have limited a little (at least for my musical styles preferred). But who can do more can do less.
* Access to treble is very good form requires Telecaster. The form has been proven since the 1950s: basic but very effective (and more beautiful but I think everyone's opinion). The weight is low, but without all the toy.
* Knobs and switch are easily accessible, especially the latter, placed in position "Gibson" (the "horn" of "high" side of the handle, and finally look at the pictures) and impossible to operate involuntarily, unless really a big nag! : O) The knobs turn easily, but stay in place and are quite effective: they really affect the sound, even tone.
* The finish, at least on mine is perfect: no visible defects, the buttons stay in place, the three-layer plate is superb, it is well painted ...
* The guitar seems very solid. Mine came set (thank you thank you or Squier Thomann?) And despite the change in size of strings (of 9 / 46 to 10/46), the handle has not moved a hair. Surprise!
* Is easily obtained a good sound (basically, just plug it), provided that they remain in the areas of choice for P90: no Jazz, and certainly not large metal saturation, it will not follow.
I put 9: P90 do not form a highly versatile guitar, but other than that it is what I expect of her.
SOUNDS
* I play Jazz, Blues, Rock and Hard Rock on a Fender Super Champ XD amp. It is suitable for all styles, with a preference for clean sounds and crunch. Contrairemet to what I thought at first it may sound quite "round" on the neck pickup to approach the Jazz, even if the guitar is not made for that ... It will probably be great for Pop and Rock and Roll current (ideal for groups horrible pseudo-punk in "The"!), But not for the Metal: the pickups get a little rough with very heavy saturation, one has trouble distinguishing notes of the chords. This is a typical vintage guitar!
* Combined with the compact body and string ties, the P90 delivers a fairly dry and aggressive, which can modulate the tone knobs quite effective. The bridge pickup is pretty slamming (probably parentage Telecaster) and quite sharp, while the neck pickup is more "round". The intermediate position is any more, personally I do not use on any guitar. In all cases, the sound is very hot, very bass-midrange with good attendance. Perfect for Blues, Rock 'classic' (Stones, Who ...) and the Hard Rock (Led Zep, AC / DC ...).
* The guitar excels at clean sounds with a slight clicks or saturation, until the big crunch. In addition, the P90 get a little rough, and very loud: that is their main weakness. Already clear they emit a low buzz, but this (except in the intermediate position of microphones, where the two magnetic fields are balanced), which increases with the level of gain. Fortunately it disappears when we play, and unfortunately it seems it inevitable lot of all the P90. I ended up significantly mitigate this buzz "blind" cavity micro (under plate) to the aluminum, operating a little tedious but easy to do without tools.
In all cases, the sound will never be super accurate, they are typed mircos vintage: a delight for the Rock and Blues, but a disaster for the surgical saturations in vogue in the metal or Schredding.
I put 8: she does not know everything, but what it does it does perfectly! Point in less still for the buzz, even if it's inevitable with this type of microphones, and circumvented with a little work.
OVERALL OPINION
* I use it for about a year.
* What I like most: the look, handle great, the price / quality ratio and especially the vintage well. For me it is the best of two worlds, the perfect compromise between a Telecaster and, say, an SG Junior.
* What I like least: the buzz of the microphones! I quibble a bit, because it is often annoying, but it exists.
* The price / quality ratio is very good: I got it for 215 euros on the Internet, and it has no defects that usually criticizes the Squier guitars or low end. In fact it is not at all "low end" for me it lies more in the good mid-range, which is more than enough for an instrument as simple and non-professional use. In addition, this model does not exist with these Fender pickups, so why make more?
* With experience and the same budget, I would do probably this choice, unless I turn to a guitar with humbuckers, which decidedly I prefer ...
I put my 8: a guitar a bit limited (little Jazz, not of metal) but excels in all genres that it can address.
