Config: see the other view, it's the same guitar.

UTILIZATION

The handle is very nice, fluid, access to acute is further facilitated by cutting the plate asymmetrical heel stick. it is a bit heavy but nothing annoying.

SOUNDS

I find the SCN pickups really excellent. They just grain is expected of a strat versatile, the microphone is very serious typical strat this particular on-the-neck solos. She is particularly comfortable in the registry but not limited to Texas blues. These microphones are responding very well with all kinds of saturation where an american vintage 57 collapses. For cons, I do not like the system S1. Certainly we gain round but there is no grain (thus zero for the Jazz) no details (ie zero for the metal) and finally the distorted sounds are better without this system ... nothing to do with a real humbucker.
I play in the studio on various boxes such modeling Pod, Tonelab Guitar rig or see while on a Rivera amp Rothelle 112. In all cases it is really very good. I put 9 only because of the Decomposition Systems S1 which has no interest for me, Do not think you can replace it with Les Paul ...

OVERALL OPINION

I for a month, I love his true character "strata" while being modern and versatile. For the hardcore vintage, try, it may surprise you! The quality / price is justified and the choice I would do without hesitation.
