SOUNDS

This guitar is made to sound or light crunchy ... Never attempt to break the pa Acdc Guns with it or not his area. But against all that is for blues or jazz it hard!
I personally head the branch in an Engl Ritchie Blackmore (100 watt all-tube) with two baffles Marshall Lead 1960, she released her an edge, mtallique, the Stevie Ray Vaughan.
Its clear as it is beautiful ... Just crunch the bridge pickup sounds a bit dry and screaming, it's the one I use least.
I read the reviews: DSOL guys but this guitar is the Fender sound! I try Mexican Strats before: the Lite ash is well above!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for one week: that happiness!
What my tilt in this guitar is its look: it dmarque other vintage Strats without losing the sound ...
I got it for 500 new. His report price is exellent quality: this guitar has all the arguments really going for it. I repeat that choice without hsitation

Made in Korea is a beautiful guitar with a handle has 22frettes dott a sublime touch birdseye maple and pearl markers that are very custom shop!
Are a set of micro seymour duncan, class!
the vibrato tailpiece is a two points, the controls are basic strat-type, normal, it's a Start!

UTILIZATION

The V-shaped handle is a feast of smooth, everything passes the above, no worries!
The rest is a stratum, who have invented the guitar ergonomics so no worries, the sound is a sound strat although a bit more round than usual

SOUNDS

This skyscraper is a machine to do everything (except maybe metal), a strat what!

OVERALL OPINION

In fact, I say more on the stratocaster? Simply put, if you want a stratovolcano that is not a standard and Mexico that has an original look, this is the guitar for you! A custom shop look so cheap.
Compared to the other opinion, we must bear in mind that this scratching is not a high-end but is standard fare from a squier and a high-end Mexican standard, so the relative price qualitée Excellent ' it is not hand made custom shop either! And the handle is a Particularities, it is a classic U handle, but when we selected a V, we know what to expect. Personally, it is perfect as it is for me!

UTILIZATION

The handle is easy glide perfectly
Access in dernires frets is good, but the hand touches the heel a little (like all Fender strats of my knowledge)
It is a stratum, the form is perfect, the weight of about 3 kg 500
The sound is really excellent, frne marshes, key in stocky, microphones, everything is fun!

SOUNDS

I play '70s rock and blues with this guitar, it's up!
I use a Rivera amp Chubster 40 (beautiful but heavy ...) Vox AD30VT or a small, lightweight but more impressive power for its size
Little effect: a Tube Screamer TS9 Ibanez Wah-wah and a
I installed by a luthier of Lige (for not too expensive) a slecteur supplmentaire (and invisible) that allows me to get sound diffrent 9 instead of 5 ...
In short, in a tone of potentiomtres gnral becomes the tone, the other is replaced by a slecteur 3 positions, on which returns the cache tone, we see nothing of 'collection outdoor.
Slecteur in combination with 5 positions, it allows for more traditional Start sounds, a combination of microphones in a 3 / /, 1 +2 +3 en / / 1 +2 2 and 3 in SERIES SERIES ...
These combinations SERIES you dlivrent sounds exceptional (which microphones!), Hot or sharp according to the select microphones, and without any background noise ... as if we had humbuckers, but keeping the characters Fender
Originally the sound is slamming trs (key in Saddle), I place a graphite nut (which mutes a little general), but the sound remains bright
You can find HERE ( http://users.skynet.be/philklein/ ) examples of sounds

OVERALL OPINION

I have this guitar for a year
It Ancess at a beginners rglage by a luthier, it is now stabilized and is an excellent instrument.
The five positions slecteur plutt a cheap t be replaced for a better qualitbr /> I have two other strats (one standard and one US Suhr), the Lite Ash was not ashamed of comparison ...
I bought it less than 500 over the Internet, and she was worth!
Yes I would do this choice, but not in the finish "natural" for not having got in front before delivery, I found that the three pieces that make up the body frne not t perfectly matched (non parallles wood grain), but this is a minor dtail Aesthetics.

View previous opinion, there's nothing changed since then!
On mine finishes are impeccable ', no excess glue, pickguard hugs the body, no, nothing to complain about that.

UTILIZATION

I, who only had the Les Paul (1 std ear, an ear Zakk Wylde, a Gibson Studio and a Gibson Custom), well, what a change!
Access to acute course seems to me easy (compared to the Les Paul)
I love the shape, weight, and the mouth in general (black maple neck + = superb)
Ben sound, I am currently in the discovery of lengin, so I'll post later.
I put a good 9 because for the price, you can not be deceived.

SOUNDS

I bought this scratch in my game to evolve and discover different ways to play.
I play on a Marshall JCM 2000 and the clean sound is awesome (I still can not find good settings for a nice distortion)

OVERALL OPINION

I've had two days and I'm delighted (hopefully, after 2 days!)
I tried a Mexican that sounded so, so ugly and was in addition.
This one hit me in the eye ett to handle the rest.
It a false air of the Black Strat Gilmour and more (I do not compare that under the aesthetics of course)
The price has recently increased but my dealer has me scratching favorite made € 500 .... no comparison on the internet!
Play guitar everywhere!

Edit April 27, 2009: Always on top.
Superb black finish. I think Gilmour put a kit on it. We'll see.

- I use this guitar for August 2006
- I love the handle type CVC, it is easy to play, and rather fast for a handle of this thickness.
- I have not tried many acqurir model before, I bought it with a single IDE header => I want a Start! This correspondence quite the look I was looking for: white vintage is superb, the handle and a small cot unusual "signature" / "Limited edition" I have enjoyed all ofSuite. Dplu me what use are the microphones, it is clear that in his empty or typ Jazz / Blues this guitar sounds of thunder, but I was looking for a guitar for heavy metal riffs and furious!

It was for that I have to purchase a home singlecoil humbucker Seymour Duncan, who just wait to be mounted on the bridge position bte.
Just to mess a bit and give her a real characters that guitar.

If I had something else to complain that would sustain her, the less dense wood body and neck that make it a very slight guitar does not adequately sound ... (Sic!)

The quality-price ratio is exellent, it's bunk that has a guitar finish and the quality of a violin amricaine Luxury (all spices come from the U.S., the whole is mounted Korea in the Cort factory I think).

-With the exprience if I had the choice again I would do! This guitar is unique, a jewel vritable!

J'diterais me to judge the change guitar post a microphone. At the moment 9 / 10 because of the micro ^ ^

OVERALL OPINION

N / A

Country of manufacture: Kore
Channel 22 frets
Configuring pickups: 3 single Seymour Duncan
Bridge: Vibrato standard knives. This piece is almost identical to the one mounted on the American Standard Stratocaster, so do not expect to work miracles with all the lifts are no longer the agreement as soon as we manhandled the craft. So I paste the vibrato to the table come away tending to a minimum, which improves even further sustain.
The settings are classic and simple, a volume knob, 2 tone knobs and a selector 5 microphones positions.
The neck is V-eye maple and the fingerboard markers are pearlescent.
Warmoth would not have done better.

UTILIZATION

The handle is very comfortable to play. However I did soften the stops by a friend of V luthier for comfort because I was losing velocity. Just as he had work to refinish the entire guitar neck for the key tasks had some mold certainly due to the storage location. Nothing too serious anyway.
Access to acute is relatively easy, without more, as in all strata elsewhere.
The ergonomics of the body is perfect, it has done little better since it was founded by Leo Fender.
The guitar is its weight but not too much, you can play standing for hours.
The three Seymour Duncan pickups are a very good compromise for this type of scratch, although I trouve_le micro acute somewhat dry and garish for my taste, but it's still good to talk.
Amount initially taking 9 / 42, I opted for the 10/52 and there, that changes everything.
Without the plug, this guitar delivers sustain an already fabulous.
In Peavay Classic 30, it becomes monstrous. On the first 3 positions, wickedly slams here and made a clean sound is impressive, velvet. Everything passes, funk rhythm, sweep, legato, tapping, arpeggios fast Vrain a treat for the audience. It sounds what.
By the microphone against acute, although lack of punchy personality and warmth. Quqlconque and the sound is not original. Do not expect to have fun with saturation, and then maybe with a huge stack of amps. I actually planned to install a Fast Track to hope Di Marzio get the big sound.

SOUNDS

I chose this guitar at first because it's a Start, and then out of curiosity. I only use my instrument to work. Directly plugged into the amp and without using any effects, just a little reverb.
I work all my plans clear, I only use the neck pickups and meedle.
The micro Acute has no interest in saturation and disappointing and it is a pity that in view of sustain this guitar delivers.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this guitar for about 2 years.
I love the violin exceptional instrument, the sustain is amazing.
Only the micro acute fish a little, and for lovers of big sound installation of a single humbucker format may be appropriate.

I managed to make me give this guitar in a shop for 380 euros because of stains on the handle. It is clear that as such the price / quality ratio is excellent.
I have a lot of guitars, mostly Fender Stratocaster with two Americans, one Mexican and one Japanese. I also use models Jackson and Ibanez. At this price, and despite the small scrapes of violin making, it is clear that I would buy a second. This guitar has a great violin and the choice of microphones is a good idea. It's true that it does not sound vintage, but that it grafting may be 3 or 3 Texas Special Van Zandt in the belly you have a super skyscraper to play blues or big rock. I suggest to go up against by pulling a rope strong enough, it + hard but it sounds serious.
In any case, it is a superb instrument.

See above

UTILIZATION

The neck is very pleasant, access to acute is impeccable (not for nothing ... a Stratocaster guitar is not too light which allows a good grip and ergonomics. We get a particularly worthy of his good guitar Fender USA

SOUNDS

She is very versatile except for the metal that is not his forte but this deficit model in Leblais jazz, rock and other styles like funk etc and adapts easily to all types of amps

OVERALL OPINION

I then used almost 2 years and I am extremely satisfied.
a quality price ratio which is the impressive march of meilleut plus she has a nice look that makes the difference with the Fender Mexican and American are all alike in that price range below 1100

Made in Korea
"Lite Ash" means "frne Lger" wood used for the body instead of the traditional alder, finished with a gorgeous black dress

3 single-coil pickups Seymour Duncan Black:
Channel APS-1N
APS middle-1RWRP
Easel APS-1B

Bridge American 2-point tremolo anchor
1 volume, 2 tone, 5 position slecteur
Solid black pickguard pais also that 3 folds
Saddle Channel V profile, 22 frets
Saddle affects bird-eyes and abalone dots

UTILIZATION

This is really very nice stratocaster
The profile of the handle is curious at first but very pleasant and comfortable. The varnish is thin, not sticky, and the profile is slimmer and faster than standard handles profiles.
The balance is good, healthy weight, and CHAC to comply with acute caractristiques of stratos.
The vibrato is not a Floyd, but used without the rush, it takes the agreement properly.

The sound? WAAAAOUUUUHHHH gnial! Much more character than most I've tried stratos (MEX, U.S. or Squier), it excels in crystal clear tones.
Knopfler fan, run it a try!

SOUNDS

But the sound ... it's really the glove! This guitar vibrates, lives, and sends heavy for clean and crunch. The pickups are really good ... and body frne helps, I think, its sonority particulire.

Unless a BMOL for the bridge pickup is really very sharp and I replaced with a <span class="reviewTitle">Seymour Duncan SjbJ-1</span> "Jeff Beck Jr" Humbucker size of a single-coil that sends large in a more blues / hard rock on a Marshall.

In his clear, this skyscraper is located between a Stratocaster and Telecaster, with its crystalline sounds a tone above the standard pickups, it excels in rhythmic funk, slamming it, incisive ... It looks like they removed the veil that muffles the sound of stratos standard.
In its saturated the neck pickup is terrible for solos, and the perfect set for crunch fawn Hendrix or SRV.
The bridge pickup was too loud my taste ...

OVERALL OPINION

Buy 520 1 year ago on a site of Lille guitar, after you had the opportunity to try it at length.

I had tried many others, and much more CHRISTIAN, but none made me vibrate as much as this one.

I just modified 2 things: replacing the bridge pickup by <span class="reviewTitle">Seymour Duncan SjbJ-1</span> "Jeff Beck Jr" and a bone nut.

She is very beautiful with a beautiful sleeve, crying sound ... I do not know what price it was sold.

The report qualitprix is ​​exceptional for a guitar that has as much qualitsrunies!

Guitar "assembly" in the Cort factory in Korea, but American components (which explains the marked difference in price with a Start us). American Tremolo bridge with 2 anchor points made good if not abused. Channel V which is C-shaped profile, and it offers excellent comfort to the game, it is also faster than a profile in C. 22 frets, 3 Seymour Duncan Alnico pickups. A volume adjustment (better) two tones and a 5 position selector.

UTILIZATION

The handle is one of the many strengths of this guitar. It is already very nice (mottled), but also very very comfortable! As mentioned above the configuration profile is extremely pleasant and fast solos. A very good balance of shape and weight (Fender oblige!). In fact the body is ash lightweight (Lite Ash) which can be a little scary at first for large stratoriens! But still a healthy weight (no back pain). The access to the highs is easy. The clear sound delivered by the 3 pickups is very good (but remember that these are three alnicos, it is not the high-end brand). In crunch, it is fun. A good sound to Hendrix or Dire Straits. With distortion, it can reach an interesting sound to the TDCA but do not expect to play Children Of Bodom! That is why, moreover, that I changed the bridge pickup against a Seymour Duncan Hot rails. Breeeeef a good sound, somewhat different from that produced by Fender pickups! But they are nonetheless interesting, a real Strat alien!

SOUNDS

I play a wide range of rock from Hendrix to black metal. So that I was looking for a versatile guitar, and I already typed this stratum in the eye. I'm changing the bridge pickup for a fatter sound, heavier. I play on an Orange Tiny Terror combo and a pedalboard Zoom GFX-8. I began playing with a very big sound. I much prefer the distal straight.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 1 year now. I tried many before that the strat; Mexican, Japanese and U.S. ... But none really appealed to me (a bit difficult you may say). I love her look and she seems really unique (special issue, please!). The value and simply wonderful
