Floating tremolo bridge, modern
1 volume, 2 tones, classic stratocaster what!
Maple neck rosewood fingerboard 22 frets
Trussrod out with the top handle for easy adjustment, floating tremolo (one goes down the notes, and they go up too). It is damn effective: me following an inveterate fan of Eddie Van Halen, I really enjoy, without seeking the extreme of a floyd. For example, the effects of vibrato on the solo to "beat it" goes to the same. The advantage of floating tremolo, when the rod hangs back, is that some small blows to the palm of a note, which makes it flicker in the style Lukather (is what I got understand?).
Of course, the lifts are blocking, Schaller in a hyper modern gray contrast (in a timely manner) with the general appearance of the guitar, rather vintage (stratum, white, single coil etc..).
The nut is a nut LSR. Reminder: ball bearings are arranged on each crucible hosting a rope, all of which are designed to prevent the rope pulled hangs in the saddle, and then suddenly releasing detuning causes a feeling of quite unpleasant. Super efficient.
The handle is certainly larger than the average of the stratum (I think), but it is far from a tree trunk as I have read here and there. I think it is the intermediary between a standard Start and a handle in the spirit of Les Paul. Rosewood very soft, which does not fit with sweating fingers (very important for me).
UTILIZATION
Dual coil ceramic noiseless pickups ... (no lace sensor, no TBX).
access to acute facilitated by indentation of the body
ergonomics standard.
We easily obtain a good sound? stupid question: you go out!
SOUNDS
Disconnected, the stratum sends sound terrible, even more than my Ibanez Artist 82 "set neck, les paul copy of which is however very good bill. The sustain is very good, what was once one feels really amplifies the bazaar.
Connected, it is madness! Please note that the Jeff Beck Stratocaster guitar is a "slide" the potential is huge, it's really an example of the stratum to do everything, provided you feel comfortable on the handle.
The pickups really send, without turning your back on the fender vintage touch. Depending on the settings of the amp, the volume knob and fingering, I think Beck can pretty much do.
Special mention to micro serious: if you like the sound hollow, round, shiny hyper hendrixien yet modern, as such do know Lukather (when he plays in crunch) or Richie Kotzen (when he plays in his strat crunch ), you just fall backwards: it's phenomenal!
Mention also to the intermediate position in acute (neck / bridge) with a bit of crunch and phrasing that is, it sounds Eric Johnson!
Otherwise, all the classics in the stratum going very well: rock, funk, reggae, country, rockabilly, blues and of course !!!!!
So of course, the microphone is an acute single coil, so Nu metal is hot, Trash and death ditto ... but hey, no one buys a Jeff Beck to play this style, there are hundreds of other guitars that do better.
OVERALL OPINION
First point: the price. Have it hurts: € 1,849 cash, must be on the mark. I have studied the issue because I have already planted after buying it a few years There's a relic Stratocaster 57 'States, that I hastened to customize including the mechanical lock and a humbucker: sacrilege?! ! Yes, but mostly youthful.
I repeat for the Jeff Beck as with other models of high-end guitars, you really have to be on his shot.
First impression now: oulala! When you unpack the beautiful vintage tweed case, it is like coming in a big family, that of the happy owners of a top model in the fender. Everything is there: strap, jack fender, polish cloth and classy, little notice, certificate, etc ... just missing a small set of strings, it would cost them very little I think.
The guitar is beautifully finished, much better than my ex relic 57, who had the qualities he seems t but also the lack of time.
Then the olympic white color is superb: I repeat, all the pictures you see on the net do not really account for his class. Turns creamy white, or even vintage white (such strat malmsteen) ... it's simple, sober, and ca claque terrible, especially the plate (also white) has a light gray black binding that brings out the olympic white.
For a little edgy sound through, I assure you it does. I hesitated to buy a musicman Axis, Luke or silhouette with humbucker, because I like to send the sauce from time to time ... Well, no problem, with a good overdrive and a bit of compression, it is in, with the signature single coil fender anyway: a bit of "twang", but a lot of scope, volume, and for micro acute attack .... Good to try, you will understand.
Accuracy: all these impressions I've collected while playing the Jeff Beck Stratocaster plugged into a line 6 Flextone 2, via a compressor Jacques fat burner and a tube screamer. Store, I tried on tube amps .... It was the orgasm.
