Value For Money : Excellent
It is a copy of Eric Clapton Stratocaster (it is manufactured in Asia, Indonesia).

It features as its big sister (What a Start!) All equipment (microphone, easel, mechanical vibrato) are brand Wilkinson.

Listed violin, it is in the spirit of the original model (scratched and worn), but all wear are protected by a patent.
on the other hand and down it hurt, finishing strips on the sides of the handle (they are not adjusted and beyond), so the sudden I am typing to adjust, Lime and polishing fine sandpaper (sure, for those who can not do it at the luthier that we must go).

UTILIZATION

The neck is not painted, fine V is particularly enjoyable to play (a real pleasure, after the alterations mentioned above).

Access to acute is very good.

It is barely lighter than a stratovolcano (I know I have a U.S.), perfectly balanced standing or sitting, really nice to play it does not smell.

As soon as one branch, the sound is very Fenderien, slamming and accurate.

SOUNDS

Is not to say it is shaped to blues and rock (Clapton's!).
The Wilkinson pickups are particularly effective, powerful, sharp (sharper than on my strato U.S.) and without interference, so a perfect shield.
Sounds off phase (position 2 and 4) are beautiful.
J'utilse a Laney LC50 tube amp, with which it is happiness, it's terrible crunch.
It accepts pedals very well, (tube screamer, Metal Zone, vox wah wah .......) it is still very accurate.
With the tube screamer, blues and hello to the metal box, hello deep purple.
Vibrato side, after adjustment, it holds the tuning without flinching, this is awesome (thank you Wilkinson)
Really, all sonoritées are good.

OVERALL OPINION

It's been two months that I have.
I love everything about this guitar (except finishing strips of the handle).
I wanted a guitar to take with me on a journey, staring at me with the following criteria: cheap, not fragile, playable.
I looked in a price range of 250 E max, but nothing I tried, then I saw the Vintage range of guitars with good reviews in general and that it was less fragile because already worn original hi hi hi!.
Excellent value for money I ordered from London ( http://www.dv247.fr/ ) delivered in 48 hours for a price of 235 E, while in France it is in the 350 E and then it is virtually untraceable .
I really recommend this guitar for travel but also to perform on stage.
Go there without any problems (note the violin side of the handle, I put 9 because of that).
