Everything has already been said!

UTILIZATION

The handle to false airs lespauliens I think! Big enough, but still nice and you get used easily.
Weight level I was quite surprised because it is quite heavy in fact.
Access to acute is easy, what's a telecaster.
Sound level, I will discuss below;)

SOUNDS

To begin I must tell you my story, initially my plan was to buy a Squier Telecaster custom, repaint it in white but keep the microphones origins .. However, contrary to what I saw and play, the pickups are not good at all, I found them empty, with no personality and especially when there is whistling a lot of gain distortion! So, I decided to change it, I started my research and that's where I'm falling on the GFS brand. I was a little hesitant, but given the price (25 € the mic) I told myself that I would lose not much the worse. Finally they are very good, I know it's hard to believe but true! (I'll leave a notice on the microphones) Anyway, here for the story! All this to say that I did not appreciate at all the original pickups but I do not want to go down the guitar because it has huge potential and with some modifications it has everything a great!
I return to the sound, I tried it once in rehearsal, I think the clean and crunch to defend well, especially for this price range, for the cons distortion sounded a bit disgusting and she hissed.
In my opinion, changing pickups, this guitar has everything a large and easily rivals much more expensive guitar.

PS: For those interested, the pickups are GFS Fat Pat and they sound serious, indeed I will leave a notice.

OVERALL OPINION

I have the past few months, however the changes were completed recently and so I do not really use it for a few days.
Basically, my goal was just to have a model telecaster classic 72, the white paint in and change the pickups if needed so I did not really try a lot of models before you buy.
What I like most is the look and quality of the violin, it is well done and the mechanics are good.
The quality is very good price considering the quality of the violin.
In short, in summary I bought this guitar used for 120 €, I repainted in white, I changed the pickups with GFS Fat Pat and the result is brilliant: a guitar that sounds great and monster has a face for a little over 200 €! What good is spending huge sums of money when you can have a very good guitar for cheap;)
