Blade Texas Standard Pro

Model Strat Texas Standard Pro
country of manufacture unknown
Very nice finish, with original mint a pickgard
Traditional Strat vibrato
3 single coil pickups.
traditional strat settings, but with original, a two-position switch that boosts each selection of micro, or 15 possibilities. Interest is added to the attack or crunch.

UTILIZATION

Ergonomics of a good strat, balanced, with a really nice and easy handle.
Very good clear sound, which can increase with the boost switch.

SOUNDS

Sound good strat.
Recently I bought different models, a US pickups custom shop and Mex-23 equipped Kinman, and honestly, there is little difference when I try turn on my Boogie.
When I do rehearsals with my friends, they do not differentiate between the Blade or the US, yet I play 90% in the clear, even in chorus
I love the clean sound and reacts well enough in distortion.

OVERALL OPINION

I have since 2006
I have tried many Fender Strat at the same price, but I found them a bit disappointing violin side.
I love her head particulière.Ma Blade is completely original and it ages well. Vibrato is fair and takes into tuning.
It is in my opinion a current standard American, but Fender develops such a marketing, it must at all costs have a fender, otherwise it is not a "real" guitarist.
very good value but too little known because they are poorly distributed report.

thunderbolt for this guitar after a friend has lent me one, I now have 4 blade

two standard texas
texas a pro
t12 and a delta

UTILIZATION

texas pro has a nice easy to handle and play super hyper if the guitar is properly adjusted, the adjustment made a huge difference if you like the strings very close to the handle without ca frieze

SOUNDS

the sound palette is super wide, I use for all types of styles, she excels in funk and sounds clear

this video of a enregistremement get lucky (the 4th song in the video) clear sound through a POD HD500

you can hear the sound of this guitar through a POD HD 500 in the 3rd song in this video



OVERALL OPINION

7 years

super satisfied

Excellent value, lots better than fender (I have a U.S. strat that I use more too .. n)

texas pro with the humbucker is much more versatile (more sustain on solos)

Manufacturing Coren, assemble and control by LEVINSON.
Channel 22 frets, 3 single pickups
Start vintage bridge standart
slecteur + 5 positions switch 3 positions or 15 positions
Broad flat handle type Start, rosewood fingerboard (or clone)
active electronic

UTILIZATION

Channel trs good quality as always with BLADE, ACCS planks to acute (strata). Trs good balance of guitar and Reduces Weight.
Ergonomics gnrale in line with the best strats.
The sound is classic, with at dpart the feeling of having a guitar a little "soft" means sustain, but absolute silence (thank you the prampli) and good quality grain trs.

SOUNDS

Versatility is a strength but INTERESTED to find a guitar that can be obtained by any one instrument gnral good everywhere but excellent nowhere.
Personally, I use the blade of an ART preamp and a SGX2000 excite and direct the console.
The clean sound neck pickup is beautiful for lovers of vintage Start, sounds creuss, intermdiaires positions are crystalline and wish the bridge pickup has the characters without being "nazillard".
short, sounds "normal" are trs INTERESTED never be aggressive.
Once prampli connect switch 3 positions, we obtain (according to the rglage frquences) a sound that incorporates the basic sounds by boosting.
Saturation rises, frquences leave out all the guitar and harmonics you want.
All in silence ... which is rare enough to be underlined.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it now for 4 months and I am a hard spare. The finish is an exemplary model of this award and is a jouabilit the brand image but with an action a little high, but so is a R4 which is more than double.

I have other guitars (strat US std) and electro acoustic and I have a few prs of jou everything can be found (except parker and music man) and is by far the quality best price I could find.
The sound crasis the std strat Mexico and other Asian sisters and I think is more enjoyable than amricaines.
If you are a fan of gibson, go your way, you will never duplicate that sound hard, however the saturation fawn "nirvana" are excellent.
Only BMOL, the mechanisms that are difficult to replace because of the thickness of the head and the handle on mine an "acoustic buzz" on the 12th floor the box, no problem rsolu by a luthier in my region (reindeer).
I also had contact this regard that the socity BLADE trs kindly tried to help me.
In conclusion:
Lutherie execellent
Sounds good trs trs qualitbr /> Finish .... BLADE
prampli trs cool
Try before you buy, however, to eliminate any risk of being a guitar that can possder a lightweight default.

CF characteristics above.

UTILIZATION

Super comfortable with, I would say better than my old Start. Well balanced although a little heavy. Settings can be a bit complicated, but beautiful opening opportunity.

SOUNDS

I play in several bands, so varied styles and this guitar gives me satisfaction, but purely on the sounds of metal, or Texas and Deluxe Humbucker aurra been a better choice.
Otherwise, funk, jazz, pop, blues, rock, grunge, it's a guitar to do everything.

I play on an ENGL, so very typical big sound, yet I spell all kinds of sounds.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3 months (but it is now my only guitar) very intensely (4 weeks rehearsals).

I compare objectively with my old guitars, playing on just about everything makes. It is not better than all these in all styles, but my opinion is by far the most versatile guitars tested. This is my second favorite after cort 115 years ago, but now c the range above.

Missing Humbucker to be the instrument perfectly versatile. So I choose the board of Texas Deluxe for about 100 euros more.

Paid on a new French site less than 600 euros, the happiness of the guitarist is not necessarily expensive.
