UTILIZATION

The handle is really gnial condition of not having fingers as pais that Cuban cigars (as in the opinion Previous). I find the handle really nikel!
This instrument as a hollow-body guitar, it is quite lgre, however, be careful
the belt clip situ junction body / neck; when not supporting the handle, it tends to lean towards the bottom. A strap-lock is not a luxury for such a beautiful guitar.

I'm not the type to touch many knobs, so the basic sound is really perfect for me!

SOUNDS

This guitar suited my style of music: Garage Rock, Pop music 60's, Blues and Jazz. It's a pretty versatile guitar except in extreme styles (although I have not really tried calling a dduction ^ ^)
The bridge pickup is really gnial! Telecaster sound like less dry and more serious. Its a good intermediate-rondouillet, and finally a sound handle ideal for the Blues, Jazz and more.
I played on a Crate amp lamps, And it was really gnial, even if the amp n'tait not really the top ...
The sonority of the micro Rock fever is really impressive, however, the sound intermediate-can become a bit exasperating because of its originality.

OVERALL OPINION

I tried for an hour and a half in the store with a Crate 35W amp lamps along with the seller. I wanted a guitar to Garage Rock and 60's music, I tried a few other guitars of this kind, and that the best silent ... for a suggested retail price of about 450 (very justified ...).
The sounds and the weight of the guitar is beautiful and nothing deserves to be a default cit.
The report price is qu'honnte quality.
With exprience, I r ^ ^ try again willingly. Regarding a purchase DEFINITIONS ... I also to reflect a bit more and take more time to try it!

For fans of 60's Rock and all kinds of Blues-Rock, you can go, it's really worth it! =)
