UTILIZATION

The handle is very nice, flat, fast. Access to acute is easy, flawless ergonomics, a good balance, but its main quality is the sound, with a special mention for the 5-position switch and reverse polarity in position 2 and 4, just magical. It's really the image of Fender, with a palette of sounds breathtaking.
The finish is superb, no complaints, delivered more with a briefcase + Jack + Fender Fender strap
Still a small defect, not abuse of the vibrato, which tends to tune over time.

SOUNDS

Fan of Yngwie Malmsteen, Steve Vai, Satriani and the other, I like the big Rock the technique on the handle and the diversity of sounds, as saturated as clear, so I wanted a versatile guitar, a strat s' imposed in this choice. It does not disappoint, and it is up to its prestigious name.
A reference for serious, really impressive!
I use a Boss GT-8, impossible not to find "the sound".

OVERALL OPINION

I did the last few days, I had a '69 Stratocaster Clapton style that sounds a little less and ESP sleeping now forever in a closet ...
I tried an Eric Johnson model compared to € 2,290 taken to see the difference, I did not find any difference in sound but I preferred the Anniversary mainly because of the handle "flat".
I do not really regret my choice, it is a collector not to be missed, it will age and shall allow time for € 1,499, there is no hesitation.
