All user reviews for the Fender Special Edition Lite Ash Telecaster

This guitar is a Corenne with two Seymour bobinage.Le simple handle is made of alder Mouchet box containing 22. This tv is like any other, it has a pickup selector Obviously, volume and tonality.

UTILIZATION

The handle is really great because you can easily accder to acute and may even ring the dernire case.Elle is not too heavy but when you play for an hour up, you better have a wide strap for your poor paules.Personellement, I found the sound trs facillement IDAL because I play a lot of punk so I put everything back and you're silent jou.

So has j arive can get the sound I want
s important to me is the clarity of sound

OVERALL OPINION

I used the day for some
I think she has the class (and more beautiful shape the wood type that makes too much)
j has not played enough to find faults so they are not major
level RAPORT money is top
has a fender that price it's nice

Made in Korea, 2 Seymour Duncan single coil pickups, 3 position selector, 1 tone, 1 volume ... a TV quoi.manche profile C, with beautiful pins affects abalon. 22 frets.
Warning: mine was originally rotten ropes, it bordered on all sides, a horror! Fortunately, the seller has changed me gratos. If you happen mésavanture the same, remember that this does not necessarily come from the Great.

UTILIZATION

For me it's the handle. The finish makes it very pleasant to the touch. Neither too wide nor too late, so very versatile. Access to acute is easily done, even if we are not quite at the American versions. As the name implies, it is lighter than a normal TV, without this being detrimental to the sound, so good point.Que 2 knobs, so no problem getting the sound for.

SOUNDS

I play mostly in its clear, sometimes with a slight crunch: rock, reggae, blues. Is perfect for my style of play for the blues is that of happiness ... For the amp, I think I did not have the OCCAZ to hear the full potential of this guitar: 15w peavey blazer (!), Laney, Line 6 ... ah, if I plugged into a VOX AC 30 once ... So my next amp is a VOX!
The microphone is excellent sharp clear claquant.Je plays almost everything on this position. The medium is also nice. I find it just lacks a bit of potato in the bass, but it makes up with a good amp.

OVERALL OPINION

Used for 2 years, a purchase without regret. I love the high pitch and inning. I played before on an old Jim Harley, so there is another world. But I had the opportunity to test a gibson LP (I do not like the handle vintage), American Start (sound enough typed) ... Value / very good price. Without hesitation I remake that choice.

Here now a year I have this little lite ash, order in Germany: € 444 (besides the price is increasing hard law of supply and demand, so it's a guitar that has a safe return of the consumer) have to say € 444 for a fender telecaster with a sublime finish vintage white (or black or natural) and two Seymour Duncan pickups! The mind boggles! but it does not stop there, once set at the reception, one branch and the ... foot! sound bluesy / rock, ca crunch well in clean and distortion ca Depot! bridge pickup is sharp and super smooth neck pickup,

The handle birdeye C is a real treat for both eyes for hands! the guirate is really light, you can play one night (as I day of reception) without being tired of the cons that we begin jumped all sides of the guitar moves, (not like a heavy scratches like LP! )

We can then assemble individual bridges to replace 3 presents what can make a perfect adjustable Armona.

Frankly they have nothing to envy its American sisters, on the contrary try to have standart telecaster I can rest assured that this lite ash has a character!
KOREAN small hands were really good boss!!

In conclusion, I decided to put 9 / 10 in value for money (not to put 10)

OVERALL OPINION

N / A

Bought 6 months ago.

- Fender Telecaster made in Korea
- Frne body (three parts)
- Channel 22 Saddle Saddle Mouchet key boxes
- Bridge vintage three bridges. (To be replaced by ending for a way to compensate easel with bridges)
- Two Seymour Duncan single coil pickups, two knobs rglage (1 volume, 1 Tone + slecteur three positions)

A short-tele almost "standard" ...
9 / 10 jumpers for vintage ... although it works pretty good.

10/10, the bridge is replaced.

UTILIZATION

- The neck suits me very well, too easy to play my strat USD. CHAC is consistent with the acute MODELS telecaster.

- The playability is excellent, I found the the guitar that suits me. I am more comfortable with this tele with my strat USD or by my Epiphone Sheraton (It's all got a question, sensation, to refine short trs is subjective.)

-In terms of configuring pickups, nothing simpler N, N + B, B.

SOUNDS

- This guitar is perfect for styles of music that I like (blues, pop, rock, reggae, ...) Except for the trs aggressive, I find this versatile guitar wish.

Brive-I use it on my Hot rot in the same brand before selling it, the sound taient excellent. I currently play on a Roland micro cube and it suits me perfectly for home use. Micro Semour Duncan are both biting, aggressive (bridge pickup), and soft and velvety to the neck pickup.

OVERALL OPINION

- Buy 6 months ago I do not regret this investment (440 new, thank you internet)

- Buy more diverse opinions and echoes on the internet, I took a chance and buy it without even having tried it (I do not recommend to do the same), and luck It suits me almost perfectly (I strongly change the easel j'spre remove the "almost"). The bridge is changed so we can zap the most.

Thank you Leo Fender to have invented the telecaster.

UTILIZATION

APRS rglage a little hair to complete it is super easy to play. Although balance (I always play the electric upright). 80/100 I use the neck pickup but the bridge that is very well as I to belittle ct acute, he pulled a little ears ... It's not a fender, not the same timbre, but trs expressive work with a little fuzz.
You can use the ct run without problem for the jazz, clear sound with a bit of reverb

SOUNDS

I play on a vox AD50VT modlisation, super versatile amp with the right combination lite ash.
Guitar perfect for all styles of rock, blues

OVERALL OPINION

Trs good report quality price for a guitar of characters that can be stored without problem ct Chres guitar much more.

Does everything said.
Beeeeelllle it is! (Even my daughters find it superb!) I took it in natural wood (like my old Gibson The Paul, but is dark wood.
Natural wood goes with everything, do not bother to dig for the clothes

UTILIZATION

Superb round for my little paws on the fingers ends.
Lgre, well balance. Bcp more enjoyable to play my The Paul
"Gets it easy to sound good ?..."
Well, 'need not even connect to a!

As I read on a forum that some taient annoyed by the review 'favorite' I complte:
- The handle for me really great, fast, soft touchbr /> - the rglages are basic but effective and easy to ACCS
- Normal weight (at least more than my lgre The paul)

SOUNDS

I reu ago ...... 3 hours!
Dj empty, it sounds to hell, as an acoustic! why connect?
Then I plugged into my old Vox travel (5W): These two are done for the love! - Love at first sight. No need for effects or anything, just the sound puuuur, what rgal.
I have yet to connect my old Yamaha 100 W (yes, I know that I have the old stuff, but I feel it will be good (all I want to change the fawn t you for a lamp).
I play blues, rock and pop. I wanted an "other" its my The Paul (which sounds like an LP actually) and not be more opposite.
I play in groups for fun, and I like stuff a little 'gross' and 'true'. So I'm not a fan of these guitars and modern styles, which all are made for the fawn mtal (although I live in a house all modern design!). Rock, true, is played on free-like the free, not fuses!
the sound is really good trs trs, with a lot of characters. The microphones are difference and I enjoy my choice of switch positions following the pieces - a small preferences for the neck pickup. I now have a Marshall VS100 and the pair really well for me. Crunches and distos (lgres, I make pop-rock, not mtal) sound really good. Coincidentally, my group (times of pop-rock) often chosen pieces jous based on ... of tlcaster! the sound of true rock probably

OVERALL OPINION

Ben if you like the style, look and sound is THE scratching for you, question qualitprix, are no better.
They made the coren strong on this one-l.
I think I'll sleep with

I tried Squiers and other copies and I'm really glad to have put a little more for an original. this guitar has a 'characters (like women who have the' dog ': not the prettiest, but most INTERESTED). For my part, I think we form a beautiful couple and my game evolves since I have.

The series is produced ash Lite in factories of the brand Cort in Korea, and is also beautifully crafted of trs. Mine is finishing Vintage White (White-yellow) that I find absolutely beautiful. When I Reue, action game silent bass and I was fine. Nanmois the E string and the frieze, so I made rgler a luthier who made me free. He added the bend to the handle and adjust the height of the bridge saddles.

Otherwise it is a tl "classic" except for its Seymour Duncan Alnico Pro.

Last Update: This looks really nice on paper, but with other APRS compraraison tl true it has nothing really tl.

UTILIZATION

The neck finish is satin rgal a real play. It does not stick. C profile is a nod to small paws (like mine) while remaining comfortable rhythm. Access in acute is similar to other classic telecaster's. This is not an SG! This guitar is very well balance and lightweight of the body weight frne lightweight.

Last days: the frets are well polished trs, at least on the one I had.

SOUNDS

It is well suited my style of music (pop rock) and play the stones is the best!
Although the pickups sound less bluesy than tl american (traditional) but are more typs rock, and body frne is probably something!. Sounds clear and crunches are the strong points of this guitar. The intro to Sunday Bloody Sunday arpges or Brown Sugar Crunch pass perfectly with this little lite ash.
I use it with a small combo lamps Harley Benton GA5, a RAT2 and delay pedals behringer DD400. I get super bluesy solos micro neck, and the twang in the bridge. In short a true tl.

Last day APRS comparison with a classic tele custom 62 japan, I really heard his fender, but thanks to the twangy Fender pickups. On the lite ash, and the Seymour are good but do not sound really twangy, I dcu t from the bridge pickup, bright but not twangy.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a month. In the photos, I did the Saddle Mouchet but now I love in truth it is DIFFERENT images found on the net.
For the look I wanted to change the pickguard to a white home, which I think would more class! But the pickguard I bought this guitar does not fit the space between the neck pickup and the neck is too small for the pickguard. Yet the pickguard in question is a real Fender notament Designed for Americans. However, this has 22 frets Lite ash as US!
I will find a handyman to cut me everything properly! I will give up and not not my IDE pickguard white

More or less 500 tl that this is really worth. I would do a thousand times that choice.

Last day: good for Pricem not the sounds of a real fender: micro SD are more aggressive and less twangy, and the handle, despite his superb satin finish is not of great poor finish of the frets.

Fender lite ash, natural finish, made in Korea.
two Seymour Duncan pickups with a simple 3-position selector
vintage type bridge (three bridges)
a volume, a tonalitbr /> handle birdseye! superb
The wood used perennials and promotes the energy of the guitar: trs slamming!

UTILIZATION

The handle is a rgal: I have several possd squier telecaster from home before, an Ibanez RG SERIES (trs handle flat). And I found my happiness enough round end, trs slippery.
Access in acute is relatively good: What a telecaster! noted a few frets polished a little sore and a pickguard screws tighten once!
the weight is correct, I love the tls for their rustic cot, there's no more simple: It can have a cot "buche" but that's what good!
sound "unplugged" trs is already good!
to make the best, I recommend the climb with ropes, not the 9 / 42 of the plant.

SOUNDS

I play blues, rock funk, post rock, indie all this .... this guitar has t made for my paw! I send in two Tubescreamer and a bandit 112 and it sounds!
the Seymour Duncan pickups will not give you his telecaster LE because they have an output level and dynamic really more important: they cash in fairly heavy distortion!
neck pickup: typical blues sound, with beautiful warm overtones and always shine (I use all the time the tonal background). its clear that a rgal: trsractif and soft at the same time ... Robben Ford is not far ...
intermediate position: I use it for casseroles or to approach the funky sound of a stratocaster intermediate position. its crunch can be saturated or send like Stevie Ray Vaughan. for rock n roll riffs it's nice this dip in the midrange.
bridge pickup: rhythmic unusable in my opinion: too sharp and criard.son area is the distortion or the big crunch: I served a term as treble boost for solos, I put the mic and I acute get out of the mix directly with its cutting edge IDAL to venture on flat strips albert collins example!

OVERALL OPINION

I've been playing for 11 years, I jou on Cort, Ibanez, Squier, blues fusion never approach the sound I was looking for really. s I approach a lot!.
I'd say it's a scratch for intermediate level guitarists: this is not pro, but it's good quality of TRS for the price. suprieure well with Mexican anyway ... The Baja is also a lot more versatility, but it really less gouache that LITE ASH ... forget the highway: too expensive for what it's worth. ...

I remove a point for not super finished frets and bridge pickup a little too sharp for my taste. Also note that the production looks pretty Ingala: I have a test in a store not long ago and not really ... It sounded so a try!

The original edict dated 29/10/2007
Good manufacturing Cort oblige.Esthétique

UTILIZATION

Channel pleasant but I'm used to Ibanez is still better ... Access to acute ok, scratching and not very balanced lourde.On gets faster the sound you want and it's typed.
However the frets could be better polished.

SOUNDS

Here is the foot, it seems to pass through decades of micro rock.Le acute sends a single coil, the grave is meant soft, nuanced, and the combination of the two is a TRUE SON intéressante.On TELE (more dynamic): Dry, incisive, even when typed with Seymour Duncan sustain.Merci, ash + press érable.Cette scratch is more rock than blues.Elle is comparable to Mexican, other than the baja and to most US chères.Vive much snobbery!

OVERALL OPINION

So if you like the sound a ridiculous price for TV, purchased in Germany, € 469.00, do not priver.Elle concurence the United States and Mexico as Japan avant.Sera t'she made a long time?
It's worth it and I had in hand the tele, especially US.J 'I hesitated with the Baja, but I do not like sleeves v, I wanted a sound typified not need a whole range Sound and over a push-pull is never reliable.
ADDITION OF 03/06/08:
Reaction to comments on this guitar: daring to write that the pickups are Duncan S. "cheap" is really subjective or ignorance! Thank you for Ben Harper and Mick Jagger who more utilisent.De this guitar has the twang for the following reasons: already at the base of the micro bridge with its inserted in the metal causes the crack, then the choice of wood; Swamp ash and maple fingerboard to accentuate the twang ... As such the first Telecasters were built with the wood! Later there were changes to mitigate the twang: alder body and rosewood fingerboard for example.
Added 28/03/2010:
Looking back: good scratch, varnished solid Typically telecaster sound, I did some gigs with no problem. With age the wood takes a beautiful shade warmer. However I'll change the jack plate as the vintage version it is cute but not very reliable. This scratches the custom shop and look at the cost of custom shop prole not been manufactured since 2009.

Here are the characteristics of the shovel:

Model: Lite Ash Telecaster ®

Nut: 1.625 "

It is simply to fall visually. The birdseye maple ca makes really good!
For against my last fret reveals glue ... ahhh Korea ^ ^.
Small flat on the vintage bridge (we like it or not), I personally find it quite hard to adjust (height and intonation set) so I plan to replace it with the new bridge Fender (new vintage) with six adjustable saddles.
Flat on the second mechanical bath oils that seem pretty cheap! Very soon replaced by a mechanical locking Gotoh.

-2 To fret drooling glue, bridges and lifts: 8 / 10

Added 11/07/2008:
After a few days of play here on the telecaster ms ripe fruits of reflections.
The guitar is obviously not delivered if not set up microphones
I have a completely dead fret (the 18th), so I'll have to make a schedule!
The handle is hollowed out, despite pulling too light.

UTILIZATION

This is the first Telecaster, even though I already try some TV.

The handle is a delight. Visual feast, feast at the game! It has slipped back! Even a shredder will find his account.

Small problem: the junction body / neck is square ... it can be unpleasant if you want to play high enough.

The body is light ... really light! One wonders how it will age all this!

Everything is well balanced, is fun to play as much as sitting upright.

Ergonomically speaking it's perfect! A real TV!

on the other hand as stated above the vintage bridge with brass saddles I am moderately fan!

9 / 10

SOUNDS

Versatile is the word for this TV! She forged everything and seems to blues and rock!

Metal less!

The pickups are good! I love the lipstick to his hot stick, and so round!

Flat for the bridge pickup! It's really loud! We love, we love it!

Warning against the parasite! The pickups are very sensitive!

Added 11/07/2008:
Micro Channel: The sound that I prefer most. LIPSTICK's a real, warm and round! A joy I can not get enough! Very balanced for a neck pickup in a tube amp is a real massacre.

Bridge Pickup: Micro-saturated ... really too keen. With a good "twang", the beautiful harmonics coming out easily. But far too sensitive to noise. I'll change it for a lil punch in GFS (a humbucker size single coil.

Intermediate position sound very strat! Funky and groovy a wish, even if it loses a bit of personality to the microphone!

9 / 10

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for one hour, so a notice is hot! I reissue it later after careful use!

I love the look of this TV which seems straight out of the custom shop ....( CORT plant in Korea in truth, plant that is fairly well known for its guitars of good quality). A bird's eye maple everything peter!
The finish is really good (apart from a few notable failure) for a guitar at this price!

I tried a Mexican standart .... it had the bridge to six bridges and more ... a few pounds too, but all that charm and less! When we think has a TV has less than 500 euros which seems new and unique! There's something to ask about the new standard Fender 1000 euros and a US wheelbarrows! The value for money is excellent!

Go for it! Try! Et ... maybe ... Buy your eyes closed!

Added 11/07/2008:
The balance remains the same: A beautiful instrument, very enjoyable to play, to Its actually taking and higher quality thanks to Seymour Duncan, but finishing at the very limited run (only the last frets but it's still annoying) . Production seems to uneven!

For specifications see the other view.
Bought second hand for 400 euros .. Almost new, mounted and perfectly set 10-46.
The quality of the violin seems uneven, but mine does not have an défaut.Je came across a good numéro.Finition blonde.Vraiment beautiful.
The pots turn smoothly without play and the mechanics seem good.
The guitar is perfect agreement.
The vintage bridge, three bridges, I love. That's the TV.
The varnish may be the body is it a little thick ...

UTILIZATION

Channel perfect, super nice and comfortable, in addition to being beautiful.
The guitar is relatively light, but less than my Gibson Blueshawk.
Good point, it already sounds good to feel the vibrate vide.On against you.

SOUNDS

The sound is up .. can not be found not quite the brilliance of some American but it does not bother me.
Neck pickup very close to a P90 in a little less bold, though pickup "twangy" but not aggressive.
Mix the two well funky ..
What is surprising is that little is actually quite versatile.
Very nice too, the progressivity of the volume knob that allows all the nuances.
Well, the output level is not delusional, and microphones are a bit of precision, especially on distos.Ceci said, is not the vocation of a TV ...
Particularly comfortable and enjoyable on crunch sounds ..

OVERALL OPINION

Frankly, when you do not afford a reissue52 (but is it worth 1800 euros?), This Lite Ash is an unbeatable value for money ..
Well regulated, at least 10-46 mounted, plugged into a good all-tube, it is a feast for the eyes and ears.
Well above most Mexican and a good shovelful of American, in my opinion.
In this price range is a must ...
Compared to Baja for example, can be just blamed a lack of personnalité.C is a great little guitar, "easier" and civilized than what is expected of a TV, which normally "stands "but a little bland too.
In any case, it is a quality introduction to the world Telecaster.

So it's a Telecaster, made in Korea, with an ash body marshes (in 2 parts on mine), a birdseye maple neck and birdseye maple stain reported. The choice of a key report instead of a real mapleneck is curious, given that there is bleeding from the truss rod in the back of the neck ... Incidentally, I'm not a big fan of birdseye (but all tastes are in nature) and this seems too soft maple. Poorly dried, perhaps?
The pickups are excellent and NLT-1 TRPA-1 Seymour Duncan home.
The bridge is a "vintage", 3 bridges.
The mechanical oil bath are a little cheap at first, but yet prove accurate and reliable over time.
The varnish of the body is fairly thick and glossy ... damage.
Note also that the edges of the body are a little smoother than most of the Telecaster (well, that gun down a little less forearm ...)
In short, overall, this is typically a Telecaster vintage-inspired.

UTILIZATION

The first grip ... ouch ouch ouch!
The frets were cut with an ax and spill over the sides of the handle, and no setting has been done by default! The neck is too concave, the action is monstrous, and accuracy is catastrophic.
Well, nothing very serious, in absolute terms, but we will have to spend two hours in the workshop.
The neck is thin enough in C for a Telecaster, and is very comfortable once the frets polished. The satin finish provides excellent glide. I prefer the thicker sleeves, but it's a matter of taste.
The guitar is light enough (normal, the body is ash swamps).
Otherwise, this is typically a Telecaster: you plug it sounds.

SOUNDS

From the outset, the first attempt at the store (although the settings were catastrophic and the edges of frets aggressive), I felt the direct potential of this skyscraper.
It is kneaded fault (nothing but crippling) but what it sounds! terrible! A monstrous character.
On the bridge pickup, its clear that twangue at full speed. I rarely played with such a tele Twang. The attacks are chattering, in short, stack what I wanted.
In crunch, each attack brings down the plaster. It's rock to be terribly scabby ...
And surprise, a simple microphone, the free saturations go perfectly with a grain to wake the dead.
The neck pickup sounds much darker, and is down-level compared to the significant pickup. Not super convenient to switch between the two. For cons, I love its sound. It's soft, very round, and with a slight crunch (the TS9 thank you), it offers a dynamic and grain absolutely delicious. Very, very bluesy.
Incidentally, pleasant surprise that makes it even better, the knobs for volume and tone controls are very usable (it will sometimes calm the heat of the bridge pickup).
In the end, whatever the style matter, this guitar still requires his character to it, and it is a treat!
It will quite happily from blues to hard rock to Aerosmith through the rock or country stonien with all possible variants.
No, really, to sound, it sounds!

OVERALL OPINION

I have 7 years (déjà. ..)
I tried a lot of TLC, some fabulous, others bland.
I especially the idea of ​​buying a Baja, very pretty and with a round profile that I like, but I finally found far too civilized, without character.
The Lite Ash really has his "mojo" of its own. I found, it corresponds to what I wanted, so I keep it! Especially since, contrary to what I feared, she is aging very well. The sleeve has kindly finish is dry is now perfectly stable, and gradually taking guitar yellow with age. It's starting to look pretty for a "butterscoth blonde" (the fact that it is on a stand facing the window to help a lot too).
In short, it's a guitar that requires a little tinkering at the beginning (or a visit to the luthier), but it really deserves it!
For the price it costs, that sounds like a scratch that's unexpected.

22/08/11:

The specs listed above are as complete exact. Question pace and finish (mine is natural) is a real gem.

9 / 10

UTILIZATION

22/08/11:

From an LP-like with a radius affects strongly curved, the Tele was surprised by its flatness, but ultimately, it is not less comfortable.

Question weight, it arises there. It's massive in bulk, but the ergonomics of the whole is good.

SOUNDS

22/08/11:

While the sound is very funny, because I have long been disappointed. Let's say that when I bought from a friend who had obviously made a mistake buying, I'm glad because I would finally have a Fender Telecaster (I dreamed, bushel, when I started the scratches). And then the sound of the Tele, the Tele sound!

I plugged in my preamp which is plugged into my mixer and started to play ... Hmm ... a bit like myself have made, on this one.

That's the sound of the legendary Tele? The famous twang ... means. The bridge pickup deemed scratching the ears ... bof, very muffled. For cons, the neck pickup, delicious. And the tone control ... limit fraud, what: the on / off without progression, offering a unique sound color from 0 to 7, and one other from 7 to 10, that's all. In short, the beautiful has spent more time in the cozy comfort of his flycase between my hands.

And then a little annoying that disappointment, I just dug. Most recently, I opened the control plate, only to find that the tone knob was 250 ohms (measured actually 230) with a 22 pico condo. With a side knob 500 kohms condo with 0.22, I tried the registry:

AYE! I HAVE MY TELE deflowered! THE sound of Telecaster as desired, with a real escalation in the tone controls. The sound has finally opened. And that changes everything. It slams like that is slamming, it retrieves the chest that finally allows the amp to cruncher is nuanced and it respects the effort - worthy but very flawed - to yours truly to give the shade and its dyanamique Thurs A real treat, a reward, too.

10/10, but that ALL should note the change I made, because if he had taken note of the original product ... how to say ... Zero plus zero equals the head in toto?

OVERALL OPINION

22/08/11:

I played more in the last two weeks for almost two years as she arrived home.

I honestly had no idea how two passive components could transform the sound of a guitar. It does looks perhaps not often enough on the characteristics of the electronics to take the essence of an instrument like that.

Result, it is also delicious, as delicious as honey to play its natural finish.

For reasons of ease of playing, I will also reverse the control plate and knobs for the switch side next round ass and not in order to enhance usability and access to two potentiometers.

Purchased as new (played a few hours) to almost half price, a great opportunity I had there, and knowing what I know he needs the guts to give what is expected of it, yes, I would do this choice with his eyes closed.
