Published on 08/25/08 at 03:03
Made in USA
21 frets
Ash body (ash body) light, very beautiful veining in the varnish!
Rosewood handle, polished back, as U
Fintion copy (especially on the Natural model: even under the pickguard everything is perfect compared to painted models, finally ... it's a detail, it never opens his guitar except for a change ...)
UTILIZATION
Handle very nice, the varnish adds a special touch appreciable
access to acute as in all strata ...
The ash body is light, nothing comparable with those of the late 70's that were really heavy.
SOUNDS
I thought I found the sound of a strat U.S. std barely changed, but the grain is really special, it differs from any other new strat U.S., certainly the best stratocaster U.S., I tried AVRI 57, 62 ... (AVRI: American Vintage Re Issue) and the 70's really sound, very distinctive blues-rock I was looking for a well powerful, full but also very sharp way Telecaster, I compare it to 79 and even a strat AVRI if my 70 'has not the years of seniority, she has a sound all its own that I love, try one and you crack if you like the sound of the late 60's and 70's (Hendrix, Clapton, SRV ...), the U.S. std strats are great guitars but lack of grain, it has already Vintage sound, its hard to talk about because it is subjective, but we must try to be sure! Mine is equipped with a kit from ACME Blender that mix the microphones and gives them an incredible range of sounds (also arrive to find the sounds I get on my little Fender Lead II guitar for excellent Moreover I have already praised the site). Vintage sounds great, no need to mofifier anything on this guitar (except the pickups selector 5 position and controls the acme kit that I highly recommend!), The original pickups made specifically for the sounds rreproduire 70's are great!
I read on some U.S. sites thought to be the owners the best strat (guitar new or recent, it means !)... well I also think my turn!
OVERALL OPINION
I own this guitar for several days, and I play and I love this beautiful strat I had a lot of beautiful and good guitar in the hands and I think recognize a good guitar when I hear and When I play, it is incomparable with other series guitars. The value for money is very good (although I always find too expensive guitars in all) for AVRI 70 'we pay the price but it was a real quality guitar which always surprise us out of such sounds!
I urge to try all those who do not know (very few seem to know in France, regardless of the opinion ... that is why I post mine!)
The highlights of this guitar finish, blues rock sound incomparable with other production models of Fender guitar that will age well with natural finish!
Weak point: its price and yet it is largely justified compared to the rest of the high-end production Fender.
