All user reviews for the 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.

View Previous opinion!

Electronic copy, but not finishing top ... oh yes! also mcaniques type fender "vintage" who have not convinced me ...

UTILIZATION

The handle is trs enjoyable as all the guitar playing as well that look: an instrument trs really pleasant and comfortable ... I find the cons by active electronic plutt damn bad: there are (at least on the copy I had) big diffrence between diffrent level positions, a m ' gn a lot and I quickly sold the guitar (I had bought new less than 130: enchres sale!)

SOUNDS

I used this guitar for 1 1 / 2 months before selling, and whether certain positions offer great sound INTERESTED intrt me seem not, as is the VCS that pose more problem than anything else in my opinion ... shame because under certain conditions it is as good or better than a standard Start!

OVERALL OPINION

Finally I did not t really believe but as stated above c'tait good timely and I did not know the brand Blade: even when it plutt not bad for the price! considered in the search for a guitar really type strato

- Manufacturing Corenne
- Bridge Wilkinson
- 22 frets, 3 single coils (VS1 or VH1 -> microphones Levinson)
- 3 knobs: volume, Master tone, tone
- A slecteur 5 positions + a 3 position switch as a boost and treble-bass Mdium

The finish is incredible for the price ... A big regret for the same when including electronic slecteur and knobs that crachotent after a year ...

UTILIZATION

Channel trs fine and super enjoyable
- ACCS easy to acute
- It gets its very easy if you do not look to the three trimpot derrire rgler that can boost the ... The password is a little more time ...

The comfort of the game is one of its many strengths ...

SOUNDS

- Style Zique: yeah since we can play virtually any thanks versatility that gives us the VSC
- Matos derrire: Laney VC50
- Sounds obtained: trs wide range thanks again to switch 3 positions

OVERALL OPINION

3 years that I have the scratches ... I love the versatility it offers and its handle trs enjoyable ... However, the electronic low-end is not great but it's not what the more expensive side to change ...
Before taking it I went through several DIFFERENT MODELS including:
- A US Fender Start (which I detest)
- A Blade california
- An Epiphone LP Standard
- A Cort I remember the MODEL
- Others I forget but was more than 3 years ...

THE qualitprix report is unbeatable and this far beyond the skyscrapers and other copies fender mex .. When I got it largely a strat US itch (and no it's not because it's mine and I think there is nothing better ...) but the versatility of his sound REPRESENTATIVES be a default for those seeking a typ ...

I think that despite all its qualities, I would take a little more A model like an R4 or volumes but still with Blade RH4 ...

Manufacturing korea (verified by Levinson in Switzerland .... I have a doubt but the quality is to go)

I have two models at home: a sunburst maple key (beautiful finish), a dark rosewood fingerboard (some very minor paint defects)

Mechanical vintage (visually a little cheap but are very good agreement)

Vibrato type "6 screws Start" (Stuck at home) not a Floyd Rose but buy it for that??

Strato Type settings (Vol / Tone / Tone)

3 position switch for the VSC (+ TREBLE BASS BOOST / BYPASS / MID BOOST)

Potentiometers crachouilleurs not great and the connection jack is held three weeks .... trash and REPLACEMENT

UTILIZATION

The handle (whether key maple rosewood) is super comfortable and very fast despite a vintage C profile, not really intended for shredders, but even if it is not what we demand a stratovolcano, one can Devalle the scales on the handle without any restrictions.

Access to acute is facilitated by a chamfer type "Valley Arts"

The sound ..... ha sound, everything is there: Very versatile light passing through a saturated crunch, thanks to Vsc we will treble slap "has gainsbourg" velvety mediums to limit humbucker (a shot Tubescreamer, and one would think ...)

I find all the sounds I need, but for extreme metal, it is easy to forget! what is the usefulness of a "single 3"??

SOUNDS

I play repeatedly Classic pop / rock connected to a TS9 / a DS-1 / a preamp Lag Spitfire / a G-Major

I like all the sound of this model if we remain in a directory "Start"
(The rest I have my Lag Rockline rise in EMG that can take over the Blade stops or ....)

Little find: Regulation of the medium vsc almost fully (and switch to position "medium boost" side bridge) with the switch to intermediate center / rack, put the tones 0 and forward "Money for Nothing 'c' is stunning and this is the case if no Lespaul on hand ....

OVERALL OPINION

I play this guitar for 6 months

The only problem is the poor quality of the connectors and knobs original
(Replaced by Di Marzio on one of two guitars, we see immediately the difference)

I tried Start 'before any kind of blade guide me, the value being unbeatable (even on the second hand market, Blade does not "cause" not a big world ... a twist )

I would do without this choice hesitate

A very good single coil guitar. Its strong point I think an ultra-thin handle with a super polish very easy to play. A good finish, no fret itchy when switching hands on the edge of the handle. Ais a CASC to treble. The pickups sound trs correctly and delight with prampli. However, the prampli gnre a little breath as it strengthens the treble.

UTILIZATION

Even when the guitar is its weight. (3.5 kg low prs)

SOUNDS

Sounds great on a crystalline electro acoustic amp.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 1 month. Trs good report quality price. I would do the selection
