Value For Money : Excellent
In which country was it made?
He writes that it is just assembled in China

What type of bridge?
6 vintage telecaster bridge saddles
Very poor quality, screw height adjustment of the bridges have not taken more than 2 months for some. But I use a standard pulling strings. Fortunately I had in reserve a Fender bridge that fits perfectly on this guitar, no more worries.

What kind of stick?
Maple neck, C-profile (for a classic tele). Alder body I think (check).

How many frets, what kind of microphone and their configuration?
22 frets, 2 Duncan Design micro model telecaster.
The handle is very easy and very pleasant. By micro cons are not stay very long on the guitar, I planned to change them before buying this guitar. I tested quickly anyway, it sounds not too bad, but nothing exceptional, not much personality. I installed a fender tele vintage stick and a G & L bluesboy in bridge, and there it sounds much better.

What are the settings?
Setting very simple: a three-position switch to select a single microphone or both at the same time and two pots, one for volume and one for tone. Nothing to say about these factors, it seems proper quality.


I put a score of 7 primarily because the bridge is really poor quality, may be after it was a fault on my guitar, and also the microphone that is not great, at the same time at this price ... ..

UTILIZATION

The handle is it nice?
Yes very nice, I&#39;m changing my handle before Ibanez ^ ^.

Ergonomics is good?
I feel, because it is partly hollow, it is a bit lighter than my previous guitar.
For form is the form typical telecaster, Me like it.

Access to acute (last string) Is it easy?
Exactly the same as for a classic telecaster (sorry I know this is not an answer, but I&#39;m more rhythmic solo ^ ^)

Do you get a good sound easy?
This guitar is very simple to use, a more serious neck pickup is selected, inversely with the bridge pickup and a tuning with the two pots .... nothing fancy.


I put 10 because it suits me perfectly.

SOUNDS

Are they suitable for your style of music?
I do a good big rock, fat, pulling a little on the punk moments and it&#39;s perfect.
(Always keep in mind that my pickups are not original)

What kind of sound you get and with what settings?
Very versatile anyway, I can have beautiful clear sound with my Fender amp and bass distortion well fat. on the other hand recess it may be limited to metal, but hey I do not think our friends metalheads moving on this kind of guitar.

With what (s) amplifier (s) or effect (s) do you play?
I play a Fender hybrid (performer 1000), with an octave, big muff, equalizer and wah.

What are the sounds you prefer, you hate?
I love the combination of the two microphones, I can have a fairly balanced in its clean or distortion. I like a little less clean in the bridge pickup with a lot of treble, but this is a matter of taste.
Both pickups together produce relatively little parasite, while the horror is when I&#39;m on one ... after that may be just my wiring.


I put 8 is the sound I wanted, but I still remember that this is not the original pickups. I had to test them anyway out of curiosity, but nothing to do with those I have now, I probably put a score of 5 max.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for just over 3 months I had tried other telecaster: for me it is well above the initial price Squier, but obviously below the official Fender I&#39;ve tried.

If that choice had to be rebuilt I would take the same model can be Thinline but classic vibe (the varnished wood, I like very much), although slightly more expensive. I knew this model on the internet, shoreline gold color scared me at first when I saw pictures, but in reality it is very beautiful, I got very quickly, and all those who give me their opinion is the very beautiful too.

What I like most is the fact that it is a Thinline, I always wanted to have one, and more here it is new and cheap ... ^ ^
on the other hand I am repeating myself but I was very disappointed with the easel, the microphones also there but I doubt it.

Finally we talk about sub ^ ^, very good value (about 300 euros I think), very good violin. And for some euros more you add an easel and good microphones and then we get a really good guitar.

Edit: After several months of use I noticed a small problem when accuracy is far from the head, even after adjustment in the luthier. Nothing too serious, but eventually it feels. For this reason I do is only 8, despite the attractive price of the beast.
