UTILIZATION

The handle is not being done over the end when you're used to handles or ibanez Lag example but it is an incredible comfort the varnish is very pleasant and the speed is good on the stick .
access to the treble is facilitated by a bevelled heel (with round plate that follows the curve of the body)
the guitar is not very heavy compared to the guitars of this price range (Gibson and others) and the body, but that seems a little thick (compared to the beast Lag my custom) allows good arm position on the body , the cut is good: not much to complain of the rating either.
in terms of sound and is a good strat US: one branch and it sounds! ! !

SOUNDS

I price this guitar for a doublet with the different sound. Start this sounds very very good. I had a very long time in the store and test several times on several amps on not to be mistaken in my purchase.
I am a guitarist of melodic punk rock band and I wanted to find a rock that supports the very distortion but with a hand net, clear and precise.
Even the distortions are very clear ... okay c not very clear but the microphone has a lot of DH1 attack, output level, but remains the most accurate.
but the two microphones allow simple approach with confidence styles musicques less needy in distortion as the blues, country or rock cool. handle the microphones do not worry: It sounds hendrix no problem!
I play mostly on an amp JCM900 50W Marshall home and the couple gives me satisfaction. for quieter styles I play on a hot rod deluxe fender, and at ca envoir very very well especially in the clear. my only pedal Ibanez TS9 is an original sound to Santana c perfect. we pass the S1 puch and suddenly the two neck and middle pickups in series start giving her a double coil: ilqs are strong in fender! ! !

OVERALL OPINION

I use the guitar for a month and it's a total joy
she is beautiful, sounds serious cases comes with jack, strap straplocks cleaning kit ... it's really amazing how guitar!
I try everything before I decide: Gibson LP Studio, 52 telecaster, telecaster US, US Start, PRS (low end) and taking into account a maximum budget of € 1500 bah WAS the most expensive but the best ! I do not blame him as its price (€ 1,499) can be a little expensive but you pay for the prestige, quality, brand and equipment.
of course I referrer this choice with the same budget knowing that PRS standard deluxecoute at least 1000 to 1500 € more ... it is not the same philosophy but Fender is really very good guitars
I would put 10 because I'm still looking what to blame! ! ! AH .... I know if I can do without.
