Best value: Excellent
It was manufactured in the United States in 1994. It is no longer distributed. It can be found in a warehouse sale, a thrift shop or attic of his neighbor ...
There are 22 frets, 2 single pickups in the neck position and middle, a double splittable in the bridge position.
Vibrato is vintage.
There is a volume knob and one tone control, 5 position selector type strata, a splitter switch for the humbucker.
The handle is screwed in maple with a rosewood fingerboard of 22 boxes.
For the body, difficult to find an archive. It would be Alder.
The mechanical oil bath.
Besides the shield, it is the exact replica of the Stratocaster.

UTILIZATION

The handle is easy to play, getting started is quick. The frets are thin and clear, sustain is correct.
The heel is contoured to the high notes making it easy access to the latest boxes.
Body shape is comfortable to play (normal since it is a perfect copy of the Start). For cons, I find it a bit heavy. But not excessive, we must play at least 2 hours for it to become annoying.
This gives a good sound quite easily, without having to search for hours.

SOUNDS

I take pleasure in playing blues, rock, metal.
I used it on Peavey amp, Yamaha and Marshall. Now on ART Tube MP, Line 6 Pod-XT and Active Monitors DB Technologies L160.
My favorite sounds: clean and light crunch to the neck and middle pickups. Saturated fat with the bridge pickup.
The sonoritée I hate: fat saturation with handle and middle pickups.

OVERALL OPINION

I have since 2000.
What I like most: the neck pickup and environment that has a grain-like Fender. The mechanical oil bath. The heel section for easy access to the last box.
What I like least: the bridge pickup that lacks definition and power. The sound of the handle.
She has a good quality / price ratio (around € 245 new).
Nous change the neck and bridge pickup, and you have a very good guitar.
