Manufactured in: United States
Saddle sleeve 24 jumbo frets rosewood fingerboard
Vibrato is a Khalli and the nut block string of the same brand.
It is the only dtail that EHJV this skyscraper. Nothing to do with a Floyd Rose.
Gotoh 6 mcaniques oil bath
Configuring pickups: 2 single DiMarzio, Seymour Duncan or a double Fender Custom Shop, vrifier, I never open the belly of the BTE.

Channel C trs end. The head is black lacquer with srigraphi Start logo in pink and gray;
Trussrod accessible from the heel plate sleeve Matte Black 4 screws
serious Fender made in United States
The body is frne or poplar, I do not know and paint in old rose (Shell Pink). Over time some areas have become orange shoes.

UTILIZATION

The neck is super fine over a standard Start. It's fast comfortable hand never tires and Access in acute is fairly easy although trs Most recent internship boxes are fine.
The guitar is very well balance, its weight is virtually identical to that of a Start. There are no pickguard and the pickups are directly visss in the body.

SOUNDS

First, be aware that this scraper is designed to send. In his clear, both are excellent with simple normment brightness and clarity of a PCHE incredible. They are prcis and incisive. Ditto for the humbucker, but hey, it is not for. Forget the rhythmic funk, nothing beats a good old Strat amricaine.
Saturation:
Then the ecstasy of it as much as we do a little max combinations between the inverter, the switch and 3 knobs.
The higher up the volume, and nothing sounds more drool.
Plans flashy spend alone, the sound is clear and straightforward.
Everything is whistling harmonics, dboule serious. Dfoulement fully insured.
Against by the microphones and require a touch attack impccable
irrprochable right hand. If you play rough, you are likely to be caused because you have to play almost all the knobs for an optimal background.
In any case it has everything to do heavy and Jazz Rock Fusion instrumental. For the rest, I rve a Gibson 335.

OVERALL OPINION

I possde this guitar for quite some years and I never left her. This is one of my guitars prfre. Everything is original, I have not changed. But I think installing another vibrato, because the force be Khalli shake does not return so quickly.
The knives are trs uss and thread of fine tuning is not the best of shape.
In short, I purchased this 2500 francs a luthier friend (thank you Kamel) there is a dozen years. Since I have only changed the strings and nothing else. I love this guitar.
I seek in vain another HM Start but with a touch mapple neck.
I have other Start and a team of James Trussardi EMG pickups and a Floyd but it is true with my "Pinky" I m'clate most.
