A guitar is easy to use competition to the Gibson Melody Maker. No vibrato, great humbucker Fender with simple settings that I like, a volume a tone and a phase reverse switch. Handle as the only Fender knows them. This guitar made in United States is a masterpiece of simplicity and quality.

UTILIZATION

A body a little more than a menu Stratocaster, this guitar is even more handy. The handle is 630 mm with 21 frets. It is round, is ideal to play non-academic, but the academic game is played so easily. Ergonomics is one such model. The sound palette is not expandable, but playing with the phase switch and tone of many styles can be played.

SOUNDS

As you can play jazz and hard on this guitar amp VOX English style is perfect, you can play without being fat and get rough, always with the phase inverter sounds close to an acoustic guitar.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this guitar since the early 80s, was the guitar of Martin Moon. I got rid of at the time a Fender Mustang which had too many defects to buy Lead which offered a professional quality for a ridiculous price. Many technical innovations, like this fabulous humbucker. I found the instrument so good that I bought the following years the other models in the range, 2 and 3, for even more sonic possibilities. Today these models are no longer manufactured, they are also collectors of guitars that can compete with all the current productions, except for the excited vibrato that will not find happiness. All other guitarists may find an advantage with such a guitar in their range, not too expensive, a real pro that you can take it anywhere either.
