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.
