All user reviews for the Fender Hot Rodded American Lone Star Stratocaster

Rdition Lone Star. (Factory in Mexico to reduce costs) The difference with the original fittings do not jump to the eyes or ears.
Vintage Synchronized Tremolo CHEVALET
Channel C profile
21 frets jumbo mdium
2 single coil Strat Texas SpecialTM (Neck / Mid)
1 Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates Humbucking Pickup PlusTM (Bridge)
Slecteur 5 positions


USE

I confirm the other reviews on the really very pleasant use with perfect stability, never interfering vibrations and excellent balance, on the other hand when making a "palm muting" based on the strings the first button GNE a bit, but it's the inhrent stratovolcano shape.

SONORITS

Bright, saturated or reverb, rendering remains very clean and powerful
I use a marshall amp MG15

NOTICE GLOBAL

Bought for 2 months.
the difference in sound with my telecaster was carrying on the worst position a little too close buttons ropes.
I am more comfortable with the profile c (v on the telecaster)
For those prfrerent the roadhouse is almost identical but with 1 micro texas instead of Seymour Duncan Humbucking and a clear round.
I do not think there is a better report qualitprix for the moment, the version "fire" costing 40 more than the black and white versions.
To increase the game fun you will have to invest much more, of comparable models worth double.

I do not regret my choice.

USA model. Floyd is very accurate and does not move. The neck is maple and the 21 frets are jumbo very high.
Humbucker Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates, 2 single coil Texas Special.

UTILIZATION

The handle has always been a problem for me, too broad and stocky, frets too high rather difficult to play.
Potentiometers volume tire very quickly with age, they sizzle and false contacts.
Note that after several adjustments to specialists, my harmonics are always false.

SOUNDS

The sound is really the strength of this guitar, the neck pickups have a sound amazingly heat (the fender) while specific condition and double Seymour sends heavy in the high mids when needed.

OVERALL OPINION

I played for over 10 years. For the price, I would have liked a better guitar set.

Guitar USA.
Easel conventional Fender. He was floating, I set to rest on the table.
Channel classic Fender type "C", neither too thick nor too thin. Maple, rosewood insert button.
22 frets.
3 pickups: 2 single Texas special, double Pearly Gates in the bridge position.
Volumes and classic tones on a Strat.

UTILIZATION

The handle is very comfortable to play, just like the guitar in general, which is very well balanced. Access to the last string is the strats, the heel where the neck is screwed is not ideal as a very streamlined Parker, but it does its job well.

We get a great sound, whether on a rack with lamps or amplification transistor, or a set of pedals, preferably with a tube combo like a Peavey Classic 30.

SOUNDS

The single coil pickups are typical strats but a very blues coloring (with a blues + reference for the neck pickup), the intermediate position microphones handle / middle pickup is snapping at will (a treat), as we like, dual microphone bridge is powerful and precise, without being intrusive.

You can play classic strat like Vaughan, Knopfler or Gilmour on simple, but also Lukather on the double.

I prefer this guitar: its versatility, ease of play What I hate ... nothing!

The factory setting position microphones has sometimes been criticized, but if you know how to do it in 15 minutes, it's done. The humbucking bridge must be set very low to have a good balance between micro level (the single are really powerful ...)

OVERALL OPINION

This guitar is one of those that I use in rehearsals and concerts for 13 years and if I have other models (for other styles of music specific), it has its place of choice!

Difficult to talk about quality / price ratio, because I bought it in 2001 7200 francs (about 1,100 euros), which no longer has too much sense today.

This guitar is a gem, and it is becoming increasingly rare ...

I found this one on Ebay for 650. I wanted a good American made Strat for playing blues and my SG's were tonally too dark.

Plays well, sounds great. The harder it's played the better it growls. The Seymour Duncan pickup has great tones

I use Marshall amplification, and the Texas single coils were really noisy. I replaced them with Lace Sensor Hot Golds and got a lot better tone and no more noise for my trouble. It is my favorite guitar now.

Excellent quality. Stays in tune consistently. No troubles.

Other than the typical single coil noise, it's a great guitar.

This review was originally published on http://www.musicgearreview.com

Built in 1996 and bought in '98. So I know in all these seams and long. So she has 2 single coil and one humbucker texas special seymour duncan pearly gates more. Channel and maple fingerboard, split 5-position, in short it is a Fender Strat standard for the rest. This is not an extraordinary violin and this side has nothing do with my Godin LGX.

UTILIZATION

It is very cozy to play, the neck is a little big at first but it seems you quickly get used. Access to acute correct. Cargo Jumbo, also correct tuning peg.

SOUNDS

This is the best strat for me. That's it. This is my sound. Round, slammed the Texas and dynamic special substantive difference. We quickly get to SRV. In addition when you have the maple fingerboard version is further accentuates its gloss characteristics and slamming. The pearly gate more for his part is one of the best humbucker pick up that I could try. Combination HSS blends very well together and will offer a bluesman and rocker potential undeniable satisfaction! The metallers themselves know already that it was not designed for them. Combined with my Egnater Renegade marriage is exquisite.

OVERALL OPINION

So 14 years now it hangs on the wall in my music room and scrolls next to her one after the other other models never staying very long. The thunderbolt has never yet reproduced. As a gear addict as long cohabitation want to one thing: the sound. It is nothing extraordinary, except when the branch on its all light and there, my friends will tell you, it's delicious. Is it worth noting that the day
I lost then I'm leaving and crying in search of another similar, especially as Fender once he asks for the right price!

micro texas special, and pearly gates seymour

UTILIZATION

Ultra comfortable handle, you can even shred with ease on this guitar.

SOUNDS

Ultra versatile guitar that can provide both in blues, shred that. Used with a pod and a 500 hd 21 amp tech.

OVERALL OPINION

This guitar is a gem, I did many fittings comparison with other fender, including the famous fender deluxe hss United States, and I admit that this guitar I was really seduced vs. its competitors. The sound is warm, round, slamming the guitar and ultra versatile. To have in possession an ibanez js1200, I see even more capabilities of this engine of war, there is a dynamic, clarity, and an incredible personality. To buy as soon as possible, especially when you see the low price of this guitar.

Guitar made in United States, purchased in 2000 at a price of 8200 FRCS (but after the flames of dollars, I see this guitar-rare to deumeurant-11800 FRCS currently displayed in the music stores! they put gold hoops in between?)

Standard size round us handle more lightweight than a bomb strat standard, jumbo frets

easel simple, well made, but anecdotal vibrato, we'll talk instead of trmolo!

slecteur microphone positions 5, 3 knobs (volume and tone)

UTILIZATION

Easy guitar to play as all models of the brand. on the other hand, its weight a little bit of a lev the quality of its wood requires the use of a strap a bit wide. but hey, it's still lightweight qd same as a guitar!

Given the quality of the wood, the sustain is excellent, the diffrence between the microphones is DIFFERENT brand of blues to his "Tchink" dry reggae to double its saturated seymour duncan below ... is the versatility, the grain and the quality of Fender's too; Good thing I play DIFFERENT styles, from funk to R'nB through reggae and Jimi Hendrix or Santana ... . with a little crunch, there is in the raised position the typical sound of Stevie Ray Vaughan ... ditto for santana and the like.

>

SOUNDS

> For a disto greasy, of course prfrez good with gibson pickups much drooling, but with the lone star, you can send as ACRS riffs .... uh ... I know I chui no tester in a mag!
clean sounds are perfectly crystalline as it should be on a stratum of the invoice.

has not always note a dtail Submitted on nombresues strats, the tone knob also functions of the position of the double bottom, which is useful for switching between a warm sound was more aggressive without micro switch or stype of distortion

Note that it gives a better amp mdium grain round, like the roland jazz chorus on a Hughes and Kettner that comes to dpart sounds more acute (either A model of the s attax series or any lamp) ca gives a cot on some microphones carrment mtallique (not ptalleux, mtallique !).... ki I do not play music like big papa roach nerve or mom down the music, I do that please moyennenment

OVERALL OPINION

I use it daily for 3 years in studio and live (small halls and clubs)

I love his versatility, sustain quality production, the more strategic than its strat you die

and then, which has nothing to do but also its color, mine sports a color a little indfinissable between the blue and green, I do not know if I'm color blind, or if I run out of vocabulary .. probably a little of 2.

bought new 8200 f 3 years ago, seen in music stores this ane almost 12 000 f! I think that for once I did not have completely ...

a consqeiller for afficiuonados.

the only reason I am not 10 out of 10 on all fronts is the lack of vibrato .... and then the lack of roundness in the distorted sounds (at the same time is what gives it its modern) but is it really reasonable to ask a ringing Straty also as a gibson?

US-Strat 1997
-21 Frets / raduis 7.25
-2 Texas spcial a pearly gate seymour duncan
-Bridge has two anchor points
Rosewood-key

UTILIZATION

It is a small round merveille.Attention the raduis + is accented on the standard american MODEL: 9.5 "
Accs-type in acute classique.Fender innovative strat finally on the deluxe MODEL (shoe chamfer)
The-texas-round sends you the sounds of SRV live next position out of phase (mdium + handle) is a marvel of expressiveness vritablement we rediscover the real "expressivitquot; fingertips. trs central position is well: right balanced and powerful.
Acute phase out the position is crystal clear and sharp, but I knew better on other models, I think duncan Splitt is not the height of a single chavalet like all strata .
Finally, the pearly gates: trs good, not amazing output level but a lot of grain and balance vis-a-vis spectrum frequency drives due to other microphones.

SOUNDS

-Ideal for blues-rock guitarist.
On a hybrid fender-93 (field 25 SE) is hot and even better with a tube screamer: it sounds blues roots rock.Mais I think we should have an orgasm on a tube amp style DSL 401 or twin.
On a small cube roland modlisation trs is also good.

OVERALL OPINION

Buy-in of 900 OCCAZ pigalle lead guitar in 2003.
-That is the stratum texas spcial hyper expressive characters with a vintage trs, I love it.
"It is my number one, the only default, the hum Fender made in any excuse by the magic of sound.
One day-if I lose this guitar, I cry all the tears from my body.

US Strato, 21 frets mappleneck, vibrato two typical points
2 Texas Special single microphone and a pearly gate seymour duncan

APRS for the rest, a stratocaster!

UTILIZATION

What about the ergonomics of a stratovolcano? it's pretty subjective, but a.
For me it's a lightweight guitar, trs balance and easy to play, the handle is trs apprciable because I'm not a fan of smooth highway type ibanez - jackson.
This p * t $ n slecteur micro is not well placed to me (like all strato!)
and this type of floating tremolo Submitted the default not to continue playing if you break a string! (Within the block ...)
It is what my little black dots mchant not well!

SOUNDS

In a pure sound was crystal clear enough about pulling the treble give a good momentum thanks to the simple TEXA spcial. Basically do the intro to Little Wing is happiness! It's good that blues can be versatile but not good!
The Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates is a good micro qd him burn that sends a good EHJV more raucous as a classic stratovolcano. But the magic opre in over drive and distortion heavy: it is bold it is heavy rock on baby, may not be great for prcis trasheux - death - black - mtalleux of death but it's happiness for me!

OVERALL OPINION

I've had four months and I do not spare more, I can sleep at night!
basically it is a strato bastard who has the gift to surprise on phrass ...
report quality unbeatable price rors 780 on ebay ...
It is no longer, but would cost 12,000 in FRCS.
Strengths: the sounds that delight on his lgeret and good grip, especially on a sound distortion pearly gates purely a strato traditional rock.

I do it again this choice without problem.

three more in sunburst tones and white micro plate tortoise, it is too good.

The Lonestar series guitars are pretty much the same as any other Fender out there. There's nothing too different about them that makes them stick out except for maybe the pickups. Fender tries to say that they're a throw back to the old school Strats, but they're not. The body lines pretty much follow today's stuff, and the necks are still fairly modern when compared to the real old school guitars. The guitar features an alder body, a maple neck with a rosewood fretboard, 22 frets with dot inlays, two point tremolo, HSS configuration, one volume, two tones and a five way switch.

UTILIZATION

The bridge on this is pretty cool. It's the two point tremolo system, and it works quite nicely when compared to the old school six screw bridge. It's more stable, and I find it feels better as well. Keep in mind, I'm used to floyds, so it's a bit more at home with me than the older, more vintage ones. I like the pop in arm as well. It's a big improvement from the standard thread in one. The neck on this is a nice C shape, and it tends to really fit my hand quite well. The frets themselves were decent, but it was nothing amazing. I've seen better on cheaper guitars. Access to the upper frets is the same as any other Fender in that it's a pain, but it's still not nearly as bad as a Gibson Les Paul. Everything else is about what you'd expect from a Fender.

SOUNDS

The guitar had two Texas Specials in the neck and a Pearly Gates in the bridge. The Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates can be quite a bright pickup, and I don't think it was quite at home in this guitar. I would have liked to hear something a bit thicker in this thing as the treble was a bit overwhelming at times. I was able to dial most of it out in the amp, but there was still a bit I could always notice. The Texas Specials are decent pickups. They're fairly heavy in their output, but they're also pretty noisy given that they're true single coils. They can get a cool blues tone and a decent rock tone, but I wouldn't use them for much else. There are better pickups on the market that would suit this guitar, in my opinion.

OVERALL OPINION

They're solid guitars, but you might want to look into a pickup swap with these. Not everyone is keen on what comes stock in these, and it can turn people off. The guitar itself is fairly high quality, and you can get great deals on these on the used market, so I wouldn't put too much thought into it if you see these going for sale really cheap. If you're a Fender fan, you'll probably like it.

This layer was made in US
2 singles texas
1 pealy Gates Seymour Duncan

UTILIZATION

I used to play on an Ibanez JS100 as well say the highway and the highway is to play on a Fender neck made me confused but you get very quickly
Sound: this is the highlight of this guitar, I frankly yesterday I still can not believe, I played so much time on guitars and tweaking the sound settings to get the slamming his brilliant but with this guitar everything is simple, the sounds are well crystalline slamming, rock blues to funk it's happiness, I read some advice before you use it and I must admit, the guitar distortion décrottre hard , it's simple it's hard to turn down the volume, the grain is ...

SOUNDS

This guitar is well suited to my style rock blues funk

OVERALL OPINION

I used it yesterday for the first time and now for about 8 hours
I'll be going just a little critical, the selector position is too close for my taste strings funk rhythm is a little hard not to change position but I think I'll get used to very quickly
This is a guitar that combines the one hand clean sounds to die for and a distortion that kills
very granular and dense.
I would do without hesitation that choice

United States from 1997 Stratocaster with 2 microphones + texas spcial a pearly gate seymour duncan (a wonder) and a touch rosewood
So much for the CT technique, knowing that everything is beautifully RALIS ...

UTILIZATION

An enjoyable round like a highway Frache tarred a perfect ACCS all parts of the sleeve, a perfect weight (for those who like me also have a Les Paul is even a feather !). Trs honntement is super-comfortable and feel of the handle is no gal, a real treat. To make it sound, just plug it! A large variety of sounds is possible without spending hours every rgler

SOUNDS

For me playing a lot of rock and mtal the choice of Lonestar has not imposed on but is comfortable in trs these two styles when Ms. Seymour Duncan oblige. I try to see in 1997 and I bought it right away, without ever leaving since, despite some infidlits The Paulian and Lagiennes. In short, the sound of this guitar is the complete happiness. I plugged into my Marshall lights and sound as clear as the sound and the big crunch distos are beautiful.
The five positions slecteur lets you juggle between styles, sounds almost acoustic solos to frenzied rhythm through the 'double coil', the fault does not Lonestar. Without even the use of pedals that effect my gotdnaturent the sound of this guitar you get a little all sound, jazz and especially blues remains its scope privilgi.

OVERALL OPINION

I bought this beauty in 1997 and never get tired, I still bat at his style and I think it ages beautifully over the years the varnish yellow trs TRSL grement, giving it a more vintage. Its level, over time it s'amliore a lot (or is it me?).
In short, if it lacks a little body, fullness of power or for some other qualities are: precision of the notes, its unique versatility and playability APRS 8 years, I remake the same without hsiter purchase, I paid 6200 francs the era when I had a budget of 4000, but have tried the Epiphone APRS half the price I ' I jug that it was better to tighten their belts and pay for "expensive" than to compromise on the quality and I was right! This guitar I even explored sounds less "bourrines" than those for which I t used to it: when a sound like no need to hide a disto derrire sick, leave the guitar guide us to our limits and push them back.

A strat United States, mine in 1996. Three microphones with a double Seymour. 5-way switch, 1 volume and 2 tone.

UTILIZATION

For me it's a classy guitar, versatile, powerful thanks to the humbucker. But it is also an instrument built for play, make the scene or stud. Unlike some high-level strats we prefer to keep at home for fear of damaging the US Lone Star is made to be used up. I even Inpress that more it is played, the more it gets better! In any case, it really old!
The neck is fabulous especially expressive precision. The vibrato surprise me much because it is perfectly placed.
The range of sound direction: from light cistalin, grease a few spirited ... To advocate for guitar blues, rock, jazz.

SOUNDS

It sounded even amps generally bland!

OVERALL OPINION

If you play often, we want an instrument aesthetic, comfortable and versatile, this series is perfect. With it we confience, no hassle we end up with jazz musicians or rockers!
