UTILIZATION
The handle is very easy to use, easy maintenance in hand, it is not heavy, it has access to acute rather simplistic, its good and its polyalent easily accessible.
SOUNDS
The sound is terrible (if you do not put a background tones of severe or acute side)
I play with post-rock, so I need a very clear sound without damaging the ears, with 3 knobs and selector 5 positions I can handle exactly the sound I want. Sometimes it takes me serious and bold to reassemble everything and it is very easy to get sound imagine.
I also play in a rather French punk band (guerilla trash etc) and it was a really perfect for his style, but it can easily drop C slammed for metal and other derivatives. (Norma jean, system of a down, Linkin Park).
I play with very different effects, distortion and a lot of delay and reverb. I also use bottles neck and an e-bow and it goes very well. And yet with FM 100H amp fender, so not a exceptional amp head.
I detese the two extremes (knob thoroughly grave / acute) of this guitar, the max in the bass and treble in max are really aggressive to the human ear, whatever the max in the treble distortion with a good slap .
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for more than 1 year before I was a debutante guitar, so I could get an idea on other guitar for comparison with the fender.
I love the round, blocking lifts, tones and selectors super versatile, and the color of this guitar. However I am not too fan of the stratosphere form.
I think the price / quality ratio is acceptable, good microphone, a beautiful versatile guitar that can keep a lifetime easily and without regret.
With experience, without the musical genre that I can exercise since I do have another choice of guitar, more typical post-rock. But I would have to try other approaches typed guitar to get an exact idea and I think the mechanical locking and access to the versatility of this guitar probably miss me.
