UTILIZATION

THE FIRST Souvant impression is good. From the start of play, it seems well made, the weight of a stratum suprieur prsage that good. The grip is IMMEDIATE, it sounds good even unplug.

Comfortable, fast and precision of the game are partly thanks to an enjoyable round (the varnish trsrussi arrirre) and a button in bne (as in the Paul Custom).
The handle is not too late do more, which allows for a lot of support and bikes.

The guitar is much agreement, even using Modre vibrato.

Thanks to the set of micro, you have varieties of sounds surprising.
The wiring of the pickups is not customary (Channel / Channel and Middle / Middle / Neck-Bridge / Bridge), but (Channel / Channel-Middle / Mache-Bridge / Middle, Bridge / Bridge).

In addition, a small three position switch allows you to change the nature of the microphone doucle bridge:
1 - high position: off-microphone phase with respect the other,
2 - mid position: humbucker pickups are coupled in
3 - in the down position: classic single coil

SOUNDS

Test of a Twin-Reverb amp and a Silverface Hughes & Kettner hybrid clean sounds more neutral, The Start Ultra is one of the most versatile strats I had the pleasure to encounter.
It has a sauce sounds DIFFERENT below the elbow. As a general rule, I think it has more bass and other strat mdium.
The neck pickup (blue) provides a nice warm, prcis, full of bass. Trs good for jazzy plans.

In distal (type rock and hard), the beautiful is the road. The double is not the most devastating of its class but the sound is clear, rich and EHJV Submitted.

Intermdiaires positions (two quarters) are really nice to swing funky rhythms.

On the other hand, one is struck by the silence of microphones lorsq'on not playing. It's pretty stunning.
Compar on my telecaster twin reverb, there is nothing to see.

Playing in several formations diffrent, I could try it on the Rock, Reggae and training for sound brsilienne. In addition to meeting fully its work, its sounds are for me (viel fan of Les Paul and discover the world of the Start) cratif a new medium!

OVERALL OPINION

A guitar of exceptional possder. Ideal for the demanding guitarist did a lot of scne and / or breaststroke styles DIFFERENT (As the group of variation on the Saturday night the village fte).

For about the same price as the new standard MODELS fender, I think it's worth it to opt for a more professional instrument OCCAZ a spre above.

It's a bit MODEL "All in One". on the other hand, it is not the cif)
