TE-62CC LPB : Oh my

2 years ago

I can only speak for my copy, so here it goes:

- neck: great shape, my left hand doesn't get tired from chords in standing position when using this one (12-inch radius). On the 95.-inch radius I get tired more easily. The colour is also really nice. Thin satin finish, smooth, but not Fender smooth.

- pickups: the neck pickup is really warm and quite loud, I had to lower it significantly to match the volume of the bridge pickup. At one point the screws just turn, but you do not see it go down: just push it down slightly and it moves. Resistance on both is about 5.6kOhm.

- electronics: mini pots, but they do the job just fine. The tone pot has a .022uF capacitor and has a wide spread. No shielding, but I think it is worth investing in it.

- body: great colour, not exactly like in the picture. not heavy

- tuners: just fine, they hold tuning; tested with D'Addario and Pyramid strings.

- fret work: leaves a bit to be desired. There is some scratching and buzz in a few places, but overall good.

-how it plays: really good. you can get used to it and not touch other guitars for longer periods. It likes overdrive, distortion and loud amps. Good middle position on the pickups as well.

All in all, I absolutely do not regret buying it. It is a fun instrument with a lot to give.
