    SOUNDS

    - It is an instrument trs wide at its use, ideal for rock, pop and funk, for example.

    - I played on a Cyber ​​Twin with a hollow in the legalization trs mdiums.

    - Being able to double spliter microphones allows all sorts of combinations. with the Hot Rails are arpges trs hot nanmoins prcis the simple microphones middle looks a bit flat but is more use dedicates to his vintage. Microphones on the bridge sounds funky and trs are crunchy but it is enjoyable to go molo on acute because the dynamics are strong in these trs frequencies.

    - In distortion, rsultats are correct but nothing more. You feel a lack of safe due to the floyd which blurs a little sustain. Mtal not in good conditions except using a good PDAL (a real distortion of true style Rocktron for example) to deceive ...

    OVERALL OPINION

    - Attention to Floyd, a change of springs may be desirable on MODELS used because of their lack of resistance to pressure. The tuning is sometimes galre and we will take the prcaution dplacer of two guitar concert because if rope breaks is the same no need to consider a change ...

    For those who have not understood), the double is splittable, even if Fender did not see fit to do the era ... Home soldering iron, rjouissez you! The others, in your makers!

    UTILIZATION

    Channel enjoyable and the end (or Jackson / Ibanez or Gibson 59). I think he is thinner than my ESP Horizon ("thin U" yet!)
    Dressing the frets nickel chrome.

    His weight has always tonn you feel like the guitar! But this is obviously not an LP.

    Access in acute moi.Je is OK to just go where I want prs. It is a stratum with a good heel Submitted.

    Nothing special to say about Floyd. It is beautifully agreement

    She used to play everything. From blues to hard mentol that face. Tone of the knobs and the legalization of the amp part of its well Obviously. It is versatile trs. And as the saying "Jack of all trades, master of none" (Angliches because US-made forces Thankfully it's not a Japanese ...).

    SOUNDS

    His area of ​​prdilection is the blues, rock, hard rock, heavy (The scratch of Armored Saint was in the pub in Frontline! Who? What group?) And others ... Beyond the grave for the death of a dandelion root is a fair bit!
    But I've always does a hair on my hunger with the simple. Do it for the Floyd that breaks the sound or the caratre own microphones? I have approximated the sounds Gilmourien sr, Hendrixien, Vaughannien ... They are not dogs ... But I missed something ... The characters, in fact! And when I was in the hands (rcemment), an SRV Stratocaster MODEL, I found an opening in the sound, prsence, a dynamic that makes the SC Am Std are toys and the vrit is elsewhere! Since I am the cow (because they are correct even when these little simple, they do their job!) I n'enlve that "one point"!

    OVERALL OPINION

    I bought it new. So I been a big twelve years. Deuxime my electric and my Premire real guitar! One that forced me to realize that I have some super nice stuff, the lment the most important thing a musician who uses it! Rest assured, I hastened to forget this wise rvlation!
    I think this kind of unusual the silent era MODEL Fender (I mean a good double and OFR in addition to traditional SC!). He said in any case allowed to have a compromise for a range of sounds bnficier tense and accder the illusion of legends.
    The report qualitprix ad me good stepfather (about 7690 USD the era? To compare a LP Std sold for around USD 8000. Dgout Is not today!) REPRESENTATIVES even if a lot of money for me. Today, I still feel that same need dbourser double for the same quality in this same brand!
    I often want to repeat this type of choice (versatility), but we lose in characters (plonasme). I love it, even if I want to change its simple. But today, I will redeem plutt a true strat (Ah, the simple snap of the dug positions intermdiaires ...! And probably not Fender ...

    9 to the global cause of simple (for other Access in default as acute or whatever you want, remember that it is a form of a stratum with 60 years ago that I ' did not buy a motorcycle racing CX ibanzien!).
    10 for the heart!
    Edith: And even 8 because Fender was not the right era jug to make us a little splittage derrire of the bundles on the double! But still 10 for the heart!

    Fender's version of the famous Charvel

    Fender Classic Stratocaster Floyd RosePublished on 03/17/11 at 06:44
    The Fender Floyd Rose Classic Floyd Rose Stratocaster was made for just a few years during the early 90s. It features an alder body, maple neck, Original Floyd Rose and an HSS configuration. The pickups are some standard American single coils and a DiMarzio PAF Pro in the bridge. I don't remember all the finish options, but I know there's at least vintage white, black and sunburst. Keep in mind that there's actually a MIJ version and MIA version. Mine is an MIA version, and I'm not sure if they came with rosewood fretboards. The floyd on this is actually flush mounted and rests directly on the body; it cannot be set to pull up unless you shim the neck due to the way Fender did the rou…

    The Fender Floyd Rose Classic Floyd Rose Stratocaster was made for just a few years during the early 90s. It features an alder body, maple neck, Original Floyd Rose and an HSS configuration. The pickups are some standard American single coils and a DiMarzio PAF Pro in the bridge. I don't remember all the finish options, but I know there's at least vintage white, black and sunburst. Keep in mind that there's actually a MIJ version and MIA version. Mine is an MIA version, and I'm not sure if they came with rosewood fretboards. The floyd on this is actually flush mounted and rests directly on the body; it cannot be set to pull up unless you shim the neck due to the way Fender did the route. The neck shape is a standard thin/medium C style neck with 22 large (not jumbo) frets. Tuners are Fender's vintage style tuners which help avoid the strings getting snagged on things ... such as your finger.

    UTILIZATION

    Besides the OFR, there's really not much different about this guitar. The biggest difference would probably be with the PAF Pro in the bridge more than anything else. You still have your typical four bolt heel which can lead to some difficulty getting up to the high frets. The 9.5'' radius can lead to some issues getting real low action; it's impossible for me to achieve the action I usually aim for, so I'm running mine at ~1/16'' @ the 12th fret. For those that care, the nut is actually a rear mount, so while there's a possibility of the headstock being weaker, cracking is usually mainly only found in the thinner Ibanez necks. Also worth noting is that it comes with a wrench holder on the back of the headstock. It makes it convenient for string changes, but make sure you tighten the tiny screws that hold the allen wrenches, or else it'll rattle.

    SOUNDS

    The PAF Pro in the bridge wasn't bad, but I wanted something a bit more. The PAF Pro is a fairly clean pickup that doesn't compress like most average pickups as it was meant to go along with the oldschool 80s racks. After messing around with some pickups, I actually settled on a pickup I'm not a huge fan of -- the Duncan JB. This pickup was aggressive enough to do metal but polite enough to still work with the single coils. The singles aren't too bad, but they're somewhat bland. I replaced the neck with a Duncan SSL6, and it just oozes that overwound single coil sound now. Most people use this pickup in the bridge, but it sounds great in the neck when matched with a moderate to higher output pickup in the bridge. Despite it being alder and maple, the guitar is pretty thick sounding, and my particular guitar weighs quite a bit.

    OVERALL OPINION

    It's hard to recommend this guitar today given the new Charvel series. I'm not a fan of the 9.5'' neck, but my particular guitar sounds too good to let go. Anybody looking for Fender's version of the famous Charvels that were released back in the day might want to take a look at this. Gus G actually used this model for the longest time before he got his endorsement.
