"It's a guitar US-2003.
-The neck has 22 frets, it has two microphones and a single humbucker in the bridge position. It's a classic Fender bridge with a vintage-style vibrato.
-There are settings for volume and tone with a switch on the volume knob that activates a circuit of the selector and a microphone 5-position.
UTILIZATION
I find the great race (I had a Gibson Les Paul with a handle that I found too thick), very fast, with no rough edges, the varnish is very pleasant and the finish is excellent.
-Access to treble is very easy.
- The guitar is very balanced in both sitting and standing, the weight is correct (compared to my Les Paul I find it even slightly), the ergonomics are excellent, which is normal for a stratocaster. This is a guitar with which one can play several hours of affillée without feeling any discomfort.
- Given the configuration of the microphones and the switch mentioned above, I think the sound palette is very wide, it will sound very clear, christallin, the big sound (of course we can not type a saturation EMG) . This is the same versatility, only metal fans will find fault.
SOUNDS
I play many styles of music, blues, blues-rock, rock'n'roll and even some hard rock (AC / DC, Metallica) and I think it comes out perfectly every time .
- I use a Kustom amp with a Celestion hp connected to a built-in Korg Pandora PX1 and I can enhance the sound of my guitar.
- I prefer to play with a little distortion, to get a crunch sound or even a little fat, I love trying different combinations, and I appreciate all the aggressiveness of the humbucker that the accuracy of simple (try the combination neck pickup-central with the switch on and you will be conquered).
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for about two months, I sold my Gibson Les Paul to look for other sounds and I do not want to leave on Fender, I still tried in a music store on Crate amp, j ' I tried two other guitars and then I chose the Fender for ease of play and the extraordinary versatility sound (which does not mean, far from it, lack of personality).
I do not regret my choice and I do not count time spent on it, sometimes I play 4 hours without stopping without seeing the time: this must be it have fun playing a unique instrument
