Made in china (2013)

Handle very end, good action, 21 medium jumbo frets 9.5 radius, beautiful rosewood, is straight, short, the top in the field, for me all the specs that I prefer.
. An ultra comfortable handle for people with small hands like me, no muscle fatigue nor lead, nli in agreements.
The pickups are Squier but I read that it was actually GFS and it does not surprise me, they are more than adequate and we did not immediately want to turn (on qaund jous blues- rock anyway ...)
I play this guitar in my favorite amp, a fender deluxe reverb RI 65 with a TS 808 to the crunch, the result is this beautiful blues sound "gringo", slightly hoarse and muddy, we hear about most records of the 60s.
The finishes are excellent, no default assembly or varnish.
The guitar was very well set already in stores.

UTILIZATION

As said above, the handle is a great success.
Besides, I have a classic vibe Strat 60 'is the handle is also a success.
The classic series viibe out sleeves "ultrathin" that some find too thin ... I think with good medium jumbo and a radius of 9.5.
We could just say that 22 frest would have been welcome ...
To me that's a Fender neck on top.

SOUNDS

I play blues, rock, jazz simplified (jazz blue), reggae, soul and funk.
The guitar is top in all the registry and I do not want to change the pickups and yet I in résevre: a fender "handle" from a Baja (those sound strat ...) and a seymour duncan vintage broadcaster, well for now I expected because I did not feel the need.
These pickups are warm and crystalline and not-for sour at all, we could just blame their lack of power, but they are not in power, they do so in musicality ...
At the same time, the deluxe reverb is such a good amp that easily honors guitars even mean we say.

OVERALL OPINION

This is my second telecaster, I tried a little to make me an opinion on the "Squier everyone is talking about ..." and I was blown away by the quality of the instrument and the sounds produced, in the case of the 62 Telecaster Custom, there are wholes sound "soul" of STAX records (steve Cropper comes to mind ... ), perfect for blues, rhytm and blues and reggae, this is a guitar nénamoins character in this immediately issue: the typical twang of 60 years.
