UK manufacturing.

The handle is a fear that a steeper Strat, but we made it fast.
Ground microphones o-Matik
Diff with strat: Mic 2 are left on a pot of tone, that of the other bridge. It is more practical than a Strat.
The vibrato is better than the Strat. There is no "hole" in the middle.

on the other hand, adjustable handle tedious.
Curvature of the handle especially.
Difficult to get low action without curling.
But after hours ... qq you get there.

UTILIZATION

Handle a little stiff. Flatter than the strat.
A little harder to do bends, especially side saddle.
because the frets are not as high.
Acceptable weight a little heavier than a strat.
Easy access to acute.

SOUNDS

Then ... unbeatable!
It's not a Strat, but it sends.
Metal are serious and profound.
Treble sharper than Strat. Less cling cling.
Even 9-42, sounds like a strat with a heavier pull.
Ideal of course to play the shadows, etc..
THE sound is very vintage.
We just play eg the Beatles. It's very good.
But most importantly, the sound is voluptuous, rich in harmonics, etc. We do not get tired.
I'm still glad to find my Strat to sound so special ...
The Burns is very special. Its very vintage 60 '.

OVERALL OPINION

Bought last week.
Before buying, I tried the model Marvin 63 (green).
Frankly ... there is no difference in timbre.
I also tried models with new pickups through ...
In my opinion, to avoid ... The sound is soft. Without interest.
For the price, if you want the Shadows ... it does!
Strengths: the inimitable, very vintage!
Weaknesses: handle a bit special. It must be used.
Excellent value for money.
I remake that choice without PB.
I put 9 here that only Marvin can have 10.
But at this price ... This is unbeatable!
Moreover, the next 63 will definitely Marvin Green.
For his look, his vibrato and his best finish.
