  iamqman's review "American Standard!!!!"

  Characteristics

  One of the single greatest accomplishments in musical history. The Fender Stratocaster is easily the most recognized guitar and one for the most versatile guitars in the world. These guitars have been played by almost every guitar player in the word at one time or another. They have been feature on countless recordings and touring from every stage under the sun. They even have a tribute festival dedicated to the guitar it self for its 50th anniversary. So to say that these guitars has left an impression on the musical world would be an understatement.

  Sounds

  These guitars sound amazing in any format you put them in. They are an essential element of music and will be until judgment day. When it comes to the sound of a Strat there really is no other. I hear guys talk about finding a Strat sounding guitar and look to Suhr and Anderson and completely bypass the sound that started it all. The sound is everyone from Jimmy to John Mayor and in between.
  
  
  
  I play rock music and this guitar is great for my style. I love Charvels and will probably put this guitar down when I get one of those. I prefer humbuckers to the single coils.

  Overall Opinion

  I would recommend this guitar to any guitar player. Everyone needs a Fender Strat in their arsenal. A great everyday guitar and a players dream. So many tonal possibilities that will accompany anything musical genre from pop to modern rock.
  
  
  
  At new you can pick one of these guitars up for right around $1099, which isn't bad for an American rock legend. You can find them on the used market for right around $650. So even the used ones hold there value pretty well.

  Characteristics

  A strato Mejicana. Well, for everything else a look on it and it's not too much bother to tell the life and the measurements of a skyscraper.

  Utilization

  What I apprci the era o I acquired this guitar is the comfort, this is an ergonomic tool that fits the user, not the other way! The design ensures that the fat is accde trs aisment anywhere on the guitar with the same ease we "walk". When the sound, well, a violin is not the luxury, so even when it is better to have the right stuff the hardware chain. Tip: Use with Elixir strings, the sound s'amliore, touch is softer, the strings last longer.

  Sounds

  I rock and the atmosphere (we do not laugh), in both cases I get more and more o less the o I want to go with this instrument, so versatility. I do not play with amps for a while, now I use the effects processor "Behringer V-Amp Pro" and sometimes when taking direct pc, plug-in Amplitube. For a fat distortion I position the "latch" (I remember the name) to 3 / 4 starting from the worst, with the zero-treble. For sounds clear two major opportunities: the latch on more acute with the treble 8 / 10 for an aggressive sound (blues-rock type). The latch at the grave with the treble up for a more smooth (type jazz). The severe down-mdium fat (500Hz-800Hz FHZ) is very well felt in the design, in terms mdium up (from low prs 4000 6000 Hz) and I have more acute rticences while cell becomes distorted and confusion.

  Overall Opinion

  I have my titin six years. Ergonomics is the highlight of this guitar: robust lgre, enjoyable play. Weakness: the sound especially in the treble. I hsit MODELS three guitars (including Gibson piphone) before the bias of the functionality. At quality prices, not because his back rgulirement cte (hi-hi). I am not of my choice when I bought all the zicos swore by Gibson. The appriori the Squier, I think. Fender fulfilled its contract manufacturer of guitars for any musician.
