Good jme loose
Guitar made in Mexico by the guys at Fender because Fender bought the patent for this guitar was no longer produced. Just like her sister, San Dimas, SoCal is produced in the Fender factory. For a single shot but a skilled workforce. Notebooks charge Fender is no joke. So the fact that this guitar is produced in Mexico is rather good news because for 690 E you have an original Floyd Rose FRT 2000, as saying the top and two seymour duncan SH6! (TB6 for floyd) Few guitar on such benefits at this price. Jackson at 700 E was a floyd under license and in ibanez pickups ibz caca boudin. For this 10/10

UTILIZATION

21 boxes! This is a strat 'access to acute is the average 21 ° box to search with the fingertips but frankly we do not care a bit, you have to adapt in life! No Shred 'to 24 ° box! (Why I put 8/10) Weight fairly lightweight, ergonomic shape and 100% Start 'is not an R / dinky!
Volume three postions floyd a ravening and no moving parts, two humbuckers that do everything! bah this guitar is just a vision of what the ultimate guitar.
The handle is beautiful, maple gives a snapping sound, the real strat 'is maple neck, rosewood is not! But this "raw" handle may darken quickly is a remarkable whiteness, some love, if you can close the pores of the wood by a guitar tech with a trick-based polymer, which is made for guitars music man.
The hit is different from that of a superstrate 'jackson type more prone to full chords and complex and less invitation to power chords. This is due to the offset radius (12'' - 16'') This guitar is a skyscraper soloist makes no solos in acute ultras and makes complex agreements. Wholesale Adrian Smith and guitarist Djent mixed.

SOUNDS

Made for big sound!
More good, honest intermediate position is 100% strat 'incredible two SH6 give this type of sound.
Bridge and provided relatively little serious, this is a very sharp, dynamic and full of harmonics SH6, the SH6 is organic, scathing and quite "hairy", where an EMG 81 is dry and content and hair "ras".
This is perfect for the detuning! the SH6 duncan distortion is called, is all is said immediately! one microphones hold her Bean, the x2n, more aggressive and sharp but less controlled hair! matter of taste!
C sharp is her hobby, I tried if it's madness! Just do it! I have long had the aftermath of bareknucle reference to the humbucker but with Seymour Duncan SH6 is a class act.
SH6 The neck pickup is very amazing malmstenien. The tone knob does not really miss it happens live that we seek, no frills. It's crazy!
Efficiency!
computer music played on a POD HD or a Hughes 'n' Kettner, it's clean, haters and content.
Note this skyscraper was rising tone zone on Japanese models. The choice of SH6 is deliberate and must be understood as the desire for Fender to put this instrument on a certain market segment, the typical heavy metal, but also very modern because we know that moult guitarist the djent plébiscitent SH6, which n is not the case of the tone zone, too plump and less precise. 8/10 for a single coil would further expand the possibilities.

OVERALL OPINION

Fender took a strat 'and made a fighter, a powerful but subtle. I say it's ZE super strat 'because you can not summarize this guitar better. She buries most guitars at 700 euros. The finish is simple and top! I had several guitars during long years, here are the sites where the Charvel is challenged or beaten:
* LTD is very hard to offer super nice beats for cheap
* Ibanez offers efficient shovels from the rg300 series but with micro limits,
* Jackson guitars made of metal the world's most comfortable

Clearly this guitar will become a must I can assure you and frankly augurs a new era in the world of guitars, such instruments at this price is unheard of!
Finally:
It Djent? Yes! A donf 'allows you to stand out from the cohort and scratch ibanezophile ltd phage (I say nothing of jackson-eating, I am one ^ ^ lol)
