OVERALL OPINION

Acquisition in November 2003.
never disappointed
it sounds like some I've heard strat

the price is related to the quality when you see the price of the custom shop that sounds sometimes less ....

I bought that scratch 10 times if he had ...
a scraper to keep in life ...

Guitar factory in the United States, a beautiful finish trs, 21 boxes, micro texas special, rglage 2 tone, 1 volume, handle type C 62, frne body type 57.
When you take the instrument in hand, it seems he has a me, you think of a guitar that jou adj years derrire it. The finish is trsrussie, c ^ t vintage play a lot.

UTILIZATION

Has any thought to facilitate the handling, the notes are prcises and easy out, the handle is IDAL, the frettesbien think. What is impressive ease.
The guitar is quite surprising and it trslgre in the grip, no risk of getting tired.
I used to play a Mexican Fender Stratocaster is the day and night, I immediately find that the effects left hand are much easier couraging.

SOUNDS

I play on a line 6 POD plugged into a Marshall amp transistor, the direct channel.
Knopfler for his no doubt: bridge + middle position, blackface Fender Deluxe amp simultaneously and ... put a cd of Mark Knopfler and play, it's fantastic.
For other positions, it is quite varied little trs jou good jazz on the neck pickup, blues, rock (middle pickup gives a good rock sound).
For his is a saturated gte a little, push the amp to saturate the background sound, the guitar is not for a. That said with a little persvrence, we get a good sound saturated trs.
The clean sound is a marvel.

OVERALL OPINION

Want jou of Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits plutt or the sound of the first album is the guitar idalie. What facilitated and what a pleasure jou jou on a CD in the background.
This is a guitar CHRE enough, but it is trs good quality and sound is outstanding ....
I am a big fan of the sultan of swing and I'm not, I saw him on jou scne with this guitar, it was in the belly.

US.Particularités-fabrication: Light ash body (swamp ash), the body 57 with handle 62.
-21 Frets, reworked raduis 7.25 (less for Glère bends above the 15th case.touche fine rosewood
(So ​​different from slapboard 62 ...).
-Vintage bridge, 5 positions, volume + 2 tones.

This handle is a feast for all the armature of rosewood, pure vintage vibe.
The key seems to be more refined rosewood transmit vibrations to the soul of the handle on the keys slapboard (it's just a feeling but a good feeling tees ...).
Attention for guitarists who play vibrato, the mechanisms are vintage, so you have to take it easy.
Otherwise it's OK.

UTILIZATION

Comfort stratocaster-type (which could be better?). We can give a true expression to the notes, bends, vibrato effest left hand slipped, and even slap effect of light-
-For me, the ergonomics STRs n 'never been exceeded.
-The Texas Special pickups, Popuri are those who know the microphones that have swollen strata on a bump in the midrange.
A key rosewood (and after pass the signal through a Maxon 808, towards a Fender Deluxe Reverb), we fall into the family of SRV sound,
John Mayer and a register hendrixien (Putôt little red house that wing.).
Oddly, but it may have come from me (strong influence), I can get sounds similar to "Black" (one of the first layer of Clapton), and that in position 2 - (* round-middle).
-In his clear, we approach atmospheres Robert Cray, especially on the positions out phases.
Excellent guitar-blues Rock.

SOUNDS

-Attention: Those who look for the sound of Mark Knopfler, priority might be disappointed ...
I think to her, take a strat-type 57 (mapple key, with very good mics (for exmple 57-62) and mini jumbo as freight at the time.
-This guitar could easily have called "SRV number 2" or j "ohn Mayer vintage" In short, marketing Fender does not lack imagination.
-A fatal flaw (which is why I put 7): 2200 Euros, Fender is not fucking shielded cables from the electronics, which is shameful and scandalous bonement: have not bought a Mexican at this price !
If people read that Fender made up the info: we want the guitars Shielded, at least in the high end.

OVERALL OPINION

-For two months this stratum enchants me but I'll have stuck with the screen ("Shielding a Start" is the keyword to go on the net for the recipe ....
-This guitar is a delight, playing 20 years on Start and then, I'm crazy I comblé. its aged appearance close to an old vintage fiesta red 62.
A pro-color, it is a RED HOT between the color of poppies and the hue of coraux.parfois turned to a pink-red the best effect.
-I have played hundreds of strata (except relics and the L series, unfortunately ...), I owned up to ten strats, this model has a great personality vintage rock-blues, very sensual and expressive.

- Made in the United States and any vintage trs
- 21 frets (damage), three Texas Special pickups
- Bridge Ameriacan vintage tremolo ink 6 points
- Frne lightweight body type 57 (not so lightweight that has also run ...), Saddle type 62 and rosewood fingerboard
- Start Configuration usual, 3 knobs and a 5 slecteur on standby as the green pickguard ...
- Gotoh Kluson vintage Mcaniques
- Point note: VINTAGE nitrocellulose varnish with a little smell of candy or chewing gum! Color and "Hot Rod Red" flaming red, trs Plymouth Belevedere (see the movie "Christine")

UTILIZATION

- A round of rve, trs well polished, C-section large enough and trs drive (it's not a stick or a Wizard II Jem what ...) slamming the strings and frets over well are mediums.
- No need to try to play with the rod, the good old Synchronised mcaniques vintage tremolo and put you off (yes adsaccorde not bad ... but it was not for any Manir) . You have to buy this guitar knowing is pure vintage and feel!
- A holding of perfect agreement if we do not use the vibrato as mentioned above, any Manir floating so it is not to damage Svere varnish and paint!
- An Access in Aiges done everything ais (despite the good old square heel)
- The usual form stratocaster with cut sides, the rear dfonce to wedge on the belly of the greatest guitarists of us (see Popa Chubby and his old sunburst ^ ^) and for the forearm
- Finally, a key bomb on the width and a handle trs trs right (it is mostly a matter of rglage)

SOUNDS

- A versatile guitar but unfortunately little is expected that by buying it, so it's not a bad thing since it is still excellent in its areas of prdilection
- It always gets a slamming his trs, hot but brutal, trs little round, even in the bass. The position aige intermdiaire is beautiful, funky and trs Fenderienne to be (very close to the sound of Postcards from Paraguay Mark !!!). A neck position trs Claptonienne I find a little more velvety than the rest. A shrill trs bridge position, guitar rvele all its fury with a vintage raw sound without infringement or detained.
- In short of what Texas Special ... was similar to the sound a little Stevie Ray Vaughan (but not as much as the previous ones in dmontrent opinion)
- That said, all APRS aisment Whereas one can tame the microphones (which are really boosts) playing with the knobs (PS: The troisime knob does not change the tonality of the microphone bridge is also a classic and is the Schma who wants a home, damage).

OVERALL OPINION

This guitar is a monument, it has it all, this is a guy with a guitar trs tempra fiery! Seriously, has to say paratbte has an instrument, but l. ..
After all, it is of the good will of Mr. Mark if it does and fawns. As far as appearance is the sound vintage trs. You will need another guitar nanmoins possder ct-because we really can not just play with, so ignore the distortion catgories big Van Halen or Satch (also vintage be- them) because a does not really happen. As against to get the sound of Clapton, Mark (Obviously), or even to Gilmour it is perfect!
Any Manir is the Fender States, has felt the amrique and smells good (sweet, with a straight face)
