It is a Stratocaster USA
22 frets, maple neck bolted C-section,
mechanics stepped Fender
Fender vintage vibrato that I set in order to have a zero point,
3 pickups Fender "American Start Single Coil" single coil,
A 5-way switch, 2 knobs and a tone of volume.
That's the technical part ...

UTILIZATION

I used to play pop-rock (pink floyd .. etc. ..) It's a Start is versatile ..
Personally, I changed the pickups for EMG of origin but that it is only my opinion ..
For the rest, nothing wrong, good access to acute handle both very pleasant to the touch's watch ..
It is perhaps a little heavy .. but hey .. it's a U.S.! Then it's not a Les Paul either ..
As for sound I can not afford to give my opinion because this is not the original pickups. The only thing I can say is that with EMG, sending it serious!

SOUNDS

It perfectly meets my expectations!
I played on a Hiwatt amp or a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe with a long long long effects loop .. Gilmour fan requires ..
What about sound? If you do not have metal or other such items, it is perfect .. although .. I'm sure some metalheads would find their account ..
Only connected to any amp, you get very nice sounds .. To clear saturation, I have fun with "Tube Driver.
Not insignificant detail! very good performance tuning (probably thanks to this new mechanics and bridge).

OVERALL OPINION

I've had more than 4 months .. I like everything about this guitar .. Fender did a great job of improving the quality of its instruments, the high end.
I tried the other strata, U.S., Mexican women .. There to drink and eat in all this ..
In these models, I find it a great success, it's worth the price they demand, I also take pleasure in watching and if it was to do again, I will sign!

EDIT: So far, my opinion remains the same, the only thing I'm on it since I posted this review is to have solved the floating tremolo in position ..
Held at the agreement, once properly set, no worries, it's like ... even if you send bends ..
