japanese manufacturing,
Floating tremolo bridge with locking floyd immitation of rope at the top of sleeve

micro S / S / H there are soft and they lack teeth but all three are roughly in balance
knob a master volume, a continuous background has always more or less spit as soon as look at him and a knob tone, the way into the treble there is no nuance to it very quickly from serious soup.

a 5-position pickup selector.
I have bought the 1500 for France with his amp in the late 80's that is why I raise it a little note.

UTILIZATION

very round, see too late (you touch three strings by a bend gently, fortunately I have a fine-boned if it is crossed with the tip of the index) but suddenly quicker and more relaxing than handle D.
the body of the guitar is heavier than the strat it mimics.

Access to easy high notes with double indentation.

the "sound": the most subjective part. It sounds like a skyscraper of 1000 francs at the time (I remove the amp for 500 francs), I would say it sounds better than a scratch from € 500 now. the sound is clear and clean enough to support a transition to multi purpose.

SOUNDS

this is my first electric scratch, so I keep it forever, I do not know if it suits my style of music or if it's my style of music that has adapted to her?

I get enough clear sound without actually typed it while pulling a colored Start (position 2 and 4 of the pickup selector) on the runny it's easy to slip into it quickly but it's disgusting.

She went through a lot of tube amps jcm 800 with among others, JMC 600, HIWATT three bodies, two fender body
and the transistor 35 rge aria, a small calsbro, a laney a fender jazz chorus ...

but his lack of bite is undeniable. (severe lack of accuracy as well).

OVERALL OPINION

I use deuis the late 80, I tested some other models but I can not afford.
For the record I still do ca laugh when I was listening to mix, make pro in the studio of the famous 32 tracks of the era, with the mid-strats and gibsons my little aria who was walking here, and the obtained from pseudo pro rave reviews which merged with US strat.

In hindsight, a few years, I realize that its defects have forced me to adapt my game notament for the right hand to compensate for the lack of natural exprésivité of this guitar. As you change your guitar and you spend it at higher ranges of the cake.

Yes I would do given the choice lines pécédentes and context of the purchase.

Today I still serves to mumuse, she'll need a good refrettage and not be changing the pickups ...
