J & D TL Charlie Christian CP (Red)
The J&D TL Charlie Christian CP (Black) is a 6-string Electric Guitar from the TL Series which has been especially designed for beginners or as a second Guitar for more advanced Guitarists. This authentic Instrument offers robust construction and comfortable appointments to deliver authentic feeling. Details include an Alder Body and Maple Neck, as well as simple but functional Hardware alongside 2x Single-Coil Pick-Ups in Neck and Bridge position.
The authentic 3-Saddle Bridge design sports the Alnico V Single-Coil Pick-Up, as in traditional configurations, whereas a Charlie Christian Custom Single-Coil sits at the Neck. The Wilkinson Classic 3-Saddle Bridge provides resonant vibration behaviour, which is transmitted via the 2x Single-Coil Pick-Ups. The J&D TL Series offers classic electronic design in the form of a Master Volume and Master Tone Control including 3-Way Blade Switches for Pick-Up Selection. If you prefer to play the Guitar instead of constantly having to re-tune, you can rely on these solid Wilkinson Deluxe WJ303 Tuners.
J & D TL Charlie Christian CP (Black)All in all for jst over 200 quid this is a bit of a bargain. The colour and binding makes this guitar stand out along with the pickguard.
Thankfully it doesn't have a traditional Telecaster jack but a more modern flush to the body type.
The CC pickup stands out and initially to me looked a tad out of place on a Tele style guitar but sound wise it is impressive and gives the guitar an extra dimension
The bridge pickup is bright and I found I needed to roll the tone off a bit but it is a satisfactory bit of kit
The guitar had a reasonable set up and only needed a bit of a tweak, the strings were Diadarrio and sounded passable.
The only issue I have is the tuning pegs and will most likely change them in the near future.
All in all I found it comparable to a Squire CV Telecaster but for a fair bit cheaper.
A good bit of kit.
In my review a couple of days ago I stated that this was my sixth J&D guitar since 2019, that was a mistake and should have been since 1st. October 2018 (sorry).
