UTILIZATION

-The handle is bliss, round while still being fast, everything I love! It approaches the 60's at Gibs! Gilmour has had numerous run before reaching this one is a handle of Fender 57 '. The hit is also great, the best neck I hit mapple!

-In terms of weight, it is a bit heavier than a Start classic, or a great sustain all that disconnect plug elsewhere. For access to the treble, there is a strat so we know!

-The "mini" Vibrato is great practice is clear, what I like! No need to send in any sense for it to take effect! The

SOUNDS

was really the main point of this guitar! (I play on Mesa)
The three microphones that have been chosen by David after many test are just super! I have not yet tested through too, was not necessarily a fan of this site!
The neck pickup is amazing, pure Gilmour on his solo, compressor and delay, and it was the sound of Numb confortably without any difficulty!
The bridge has Seymour sounds really different, we can start on a Hard Rock smoothly and without buzz or breath! GENIAL! With this guitar with knobs was a tremendous versatility! And I know what I mean, I have a 513! There was some grain, but TV and more powerful! And with the volume pot found at once the classic Start sound
I must also mention the Switch, which allows for example to have the bridge pickup and neck at the same time!
Really to bring the sound of Gilmour's solos, and what brings even more versatility, more than this little guitar that changes everything!

OVERALL OPINION

I've had it yesterday, I played for 10 h to show its limits ... It has not ...
I am a big fan of Gilmour at the base, but I tried 5 custom shop before prendre.Et is really the one that was made for me! That's what I was looking for years a stratum and that I have ever had! The first one I'm sure to keep and get on tour!
She has the mouth, micro and small full of thing that make it unique from other strat!

For the price some would say "you must be a fan," but I disagree, it can do so many things that appeal to both a fan of Clapton as Kirk Hammet xD

I would do without the choice problem! Because it is unique and special! The general custom shop! Except forget the key box, but I never close ... But hey, this is the default one! A master piece
