UTILIZATION

1 The handle is it nice?
The handle is smooth behind a marvel. After 3 minutes, you feel that this guitar has always been yours!

2 Access to acute (last string) Is it easy?
Access to acute ... Ben's a Start ... but with 22 frets!

3 The ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)?
RAS is a Start

4 Do you get easily a good sound ...?
LOL ... ben just know how to play because she does not forgive anything!
Anyway, I really rediscovered the Stratocaster. I had two American, but never did any of them sounded like this Custom Shop!
Its level, the micro HOT easel is revolutionary and never heard ... very punchy!
The neck pickup is also fabulous, clear sound in both saturated or crunches!
I never used this much since that micro Strato.
Usually, I use only positions 2 and 4 in clean, now I am using the neck pickup alone also

SOUNDS

1 Are they suitable for your style of music?
I do a bit of everything from funky jazz to pop and rock hard, she knows everything, and it is far from ridiculous big sound thanks to the bridge pickup really terrible HOT!

2 With what (s) amplifier (s) or effect (s) do you play?
I use it on my VETTA II in concert, on the POD X3 Pro in my home studio, and over the entire range of amps available at the studio (Fender Twin, Marshall JCM 2000, JCM 800, Mesa correct, and many others ...)

3 What types of sounds you get and with what settings ("crystalline", "fat ",....)?
Enough fat neck pickup, position 2,3 and 4 very crystalline and chattering.
The bridge pickup is very, very sharp and is ideal for big sound in a good rhythm or solos to Pink Floyd

4 What are the sounds you prefer, you hate?
It's a joke?? It's a bomb that can do everything ... okay?

OVERALL OPINION

1 How long have you using it?
I've had it three weeks.

2 What thing do you like most/least about it?
She is beautiful, comfortable, fun to play, the body vibrates at the head, SAR ...

3 Did you try many other models before getting this one?
Strata's, I had 2 high end, and I tried a bunch ... NOTHING TO SEE! we play at all in the same court!

4 How would you rate the quality / price?
I got a good deal above taking advantage of the decline of the dollar, so in my case, I put on 10/10 ... deep financial crisis!

5 Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ...
Rather than 2 times, and even I am now convinced that the Custom Shop models are far superior to the models said Standards!
So, I repeat all my guitars for custom shop (Tele and Les Paul)
