Nothing to add from the previous post very complete, except for the protections that are more aged micro successful.
UTILIZATION
The handle is the way I wanted fast, easy, accessible.
Access to acute is OK for me (my other guitar is a LP Custom that I find not so good on that side).
The ergonomics are perfect, it is a pure strato. I played for 30 years on an L series and I think it's rather better (yes better than a L series).
For sound there is also a stratovolcano true, however I feel it is less powerful and versatile than the US STD, a little more typical vintage. Of course all the sounds are there: Reverse-phase crystal clear on the positions 2 and 4 that is only found on strats, the neck pickup to sound clear and flawless and the bridge can be used to everything that goes the rhythmic crunch all the solos.
I put 9 / 10 perhaps because of the memory of the L series and some US on which I played and that I wish I had all the sounds together on the same guitar. One can always dream .....
SOUNDS
I play a little bit of everything except metal and jazz.
For the Jazz should remember for sure.
It is suitable for all styles of rock, blues of the 60s to today.
For the Santana and Gary Moore even though we can say that it goes, do not count on even sustain a LP Custom and the unforgettable sound of a Gibson.
At least for the versatility it's still for me the best guitar in the world, there is the "patented crystalline strato", and fat if you have a good amp.
It remains a bit of "hum" because of the simple bobinnages but less than the L series and it has never embarrassed to keep your hands on the guitar and position myself to minimize background noise.
I used a Marshall all-tube combo, fender on a small transistor with a recent and now ToneLab SE and a 21 TECH. I like everything.
OVERALL OPINION
I've had about a year. We can not really fault signal. Can we say we do not like the fact that strata that sounds great to play 45 years of rock evolution of a failure to not sound like a LP Custom and not having the microphone of acute my ex L series??
When I tried to buy at least 25 models of strats and telecaster: going from Mexico to the US customs shop and even the highway (way too ugly).
At value for money is unbeatable.
If it again No Doubt I take it again.
