USE

It's a Strat with slightly more sophisticated accessories allows for a better agreement, vibrato is very nice.
The maple fingerboard provides more sustain a rosewood fingerboard and also gives a feeling of speed.
The microphones are silent even at high gain, perfect for a clean recording without hum and parasite.
The S-1 switch provides different combinations of micro continuously, personally I never use me ...

The handle is very nice with a C-section, access to acute is impeccable.

SOUNDS

Very good sound and a lot of versatility.
SCN pickups are very quiet (ideal for clean records) but the definition is somewhat poorer than good single coil.

The neck pickup is perfect, both warm and clear, a real Strat sound as we like.
The medium microphone is drier and tightens in its frequencies.
Double coil mouai ... I like a little less finally I much prefer a good "classic 57" from Gibson.
The parallelized positions are nice, softer.

Everything is done with little but his chosen field is the Rock / Hard.



NOTICE GLOBAL

Very good instrument in a spirit a little more "modern" that "a vintage reissue, one likes or dislikes.
I finally sold it and bought an American Vintage Reissue 57 'black.

This is pretty much the standard Fender that most people see today. At least on the American line up. Today's strats are moving towards being a bit more modern, and the Mexican strats are leaning towards being more vintage-esque. I guess they feel that these features are only worthy on the American models, but whatever. The guitar features an alder body, a one-piece maple neck, 22 frets, dot inlays, a two point tremolo, locking tuners, HSS configuration, one volume, two tones and a five way switch.

UTILIZATION

The guitar was pretty good, but it was slightly heavy. It had some strong weight to it, and I'm not a fan of overly heavy guitars. Still, it resonated nicely, so I can't take too much away from it. I really liked how the black body, maple neck and copper pickguard worked on this guitar. It was better than I thought it would look. The frets on this were in pretty good condition, and I couldn't find any faults with it. The neck on this is a very nice, round C shaped neck that's medium in its overall thickness. It almost reminds me of an ESP neck, or maybe I should say ESP necks remind me of Fender necks... The tremolo on this is pretty nice, and the locking tuners help out a ton with this guitar. I'm not a huge fan fo the radius utilized on these guitars, but it's not a deal killer.

SOUNDS

The guitar had its pickups swapped for EMGs. It had an EMG 85 in the bridge with the SLV neck and middle pickups. The EMG 85 in the bridge works quite well for a lot of genres, actually. While most people view it as a neck pickup, it can really help thicken up a thin sounding guitar. This is actually the same combo that Steve Lukather uses (or used to. I heard he swapped to passives lately), and it kind of has that Luke vibe going on. The SLVs in the neck and middle were very nice at getting a cool, fat lead tone with some decent output. One thing worth noting is that these tend to respond to the volume knob a bit better than the EMG 85. That said, they still had a bit of that hi-fi sound going on. They can work for a lot of genres, but they're still not quite as organic as passives.

OVERALL OPINION

The guitar is very solid, and you can get these for a really good price on the used market. I recommend searching different forum and ebay for the best deal on these guitars. I would rather buy one of these used than new as the prices keep going up every year, and the used market has some great deals at the moment. If you buy new, be sure to inspect it carefully just in case there are any potential flaws.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had a week
I had a hohner (blues rock little present) and an ibanez vai (mtal many mediums) and I thought one day take a guitar for the big rock, capable of a beautiful clear sound and a saturation energy but not metal. When I shop at all it was for testing amplifiers, I tried this a few scratches from the contacts and so I am left with the sound I liked (energetic, snapping, but not aggressive, the pr presence but not intrusive, round without being fat).

Regarding features, everything was already said below,
However, I note that I have the model with three-tone sunburst maple neck (it is also beautiful ^ ^)

The mechanical and all this is perfect, there's nothing wrong has ... Especially blocking a ball!
You can play several hours, you unleashed on the vibrato, it does not move it was great: D
The more we change the strings very quickly, even on a standard strat
It's just a pity we can not split the double simple but there are a number of possible configuration of microphones at hand ...
It comes with hard case, locking strap, strap, jack
Finally it all

UTILIZATION

- The handle is it fun?
Ah yes! Maple's really a pure delight to play it: D

- Access to acute (recent freight) is it easy?
Yes, you can easily make very sharp bends without breaking the poignant
Besides the body-neck junction is cut so no problems
- Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)?
Wee: D Finally stratocaster is the form we all already seen it? ^ ^
It is not too heavy, it can easily take 3 hours of repetition without cramping in the shoulder ...
And finally, I have already said, but she is really beautiful: D Sometimes I stop playing to watch: P

- Gets it easy to sound good? ...
Orii, but I will detail this part below ...

SOUNDS

- They are suitable to your style of music?
So I played varied O
It passes from the small walk in his clear, for the old vintage rock and punk rock, heavy metal, and even the shred,
That's why I took the guitar with humbucker
I must say that's clear is just too beautiful
for any type of rock ausi ​​These and fine,
Listed metal / shred is a bit less, but it is doing all the same, even if the base is not made ​​for eh ^ ^
Finally versatility highlight its ects
- With what (s) amplifier (s) or effect (s) do you play?
Fender frontman 25R: It sounds very good, very blues / rock, its purely fender
or so I played with guitar rig, and it's also very, very amusing is the comment that all she can do that lil scratch

- What kind of sound you get and with what settings ("crystalline", "bold ",....)?
Its very hot!
Allow your thermometer or air conditioning will not follow !!!!!!!
Well okay I go ...
No, really gives her a very pleasant, no fat, but very precise, rather crystalline, but very hot
- What are the sounds you prefer, you hate?
There's just trash metal and all that pass not, but ... You do not buy a fender for these things the
Otherwise it really is (even too ^ ^) versatile
I put a 9 because it's almost perfect ^ ^

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?
One week ... yeah it's not much on it, but when you love one does not count!
In any case I have not dropped much since ^ ^

- What is so special that you love the most, the least
Goodies: The polvalence, and finishing ...
Cons: um ....

- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
Orii Ah!
I tried everything, but I was left on the stratum, and that's had it all:
I tried maple neck, 22 frets, HSS, and I even have a vibrato super reliable premium
- How would you rate the quality / price?
I've had a 1239 EUR in store, with a warranty, 5 years ...
It is worth its price, but I would say that for the above this value it becomes too expensive ...

- With experience, you do again this choice? ...
Seen the world it has already made ​​him jealous, yes, probably
in matters of strat we can hardly find a better ...
