Excellent
Guitar made in the United States with price floor, the last economic challenge Fender US.Pour the specifics in detail, relying on the Fender site.
Mics: the texas (config three singles) ... I was initially on these microphones with Mark Knopfler on my signature and judging good but below some race condition "boutique" (Van Zandt, Lollar ... ) in the register "vintage hot." Well then, this guitar is parfait.J 've played this guitar in a blues deluxe clean channel, strong enough, and I am delighted in blueseries shuffle and riff or chicago blues of all kinds. it's perfect for this register, at least for pop, variety and cleaner stuff, but not incapable of this kind of music. (I mean that in these cases as well take a strat NAS).
UTILIZATION
HANDLE: excellentisime ... I play Strat for 25 years and I have a dozen all backgrounds ... I certify that the handle is one of the best I've played, modern C profile (small hands welcome ...) with jumbo frets (disturbing at first, with the addictive habit), satin radius of 9.5 inches, clean finish (sanding the edge of a button) for me it is in "very good" with a adjustable head which is very prartique when the rule is even manches.Le that the handle is in one piece without key reported adds to the conduction of sound, of course we must also love the touch "maple" and only rosewood fans may have to say.
So not a tiring round, sensual, with a head 70 Groos' I personally like a lot.
SOUNDS
the guitar sounds clear, generous and "chubby" and requires that to what he comes in as Texas blues-rock.Donc
For me, the choice Fender in terms of cross-violin pickups, is successful, there is nothing to change.
Finally, the profound character of this guitar is "hot vintage" US music is made for the blues rock, blues shuffle, Texas, to Chicago without excluding any registry "Americana" and country music.
Only a musician looking for something more "sharp / clear" to the ethereal pop straoshérique, or harder rock, hardcore should enjoy it less.
Finally, it is still very versatile.
OVERALL OPINION
This is a guitar that I tested in store, I test routinely (almost) all the strats that Fender fate and that are likely to go inside in my stable, so I tested on principle, and it struck me quite strongly as the New American Standard, which is more "clean" but also extremely catchy.
What I like about this guitar is its neck, modern, compiling all the data to make it perfect, radius balanced, bracing for a realistic low-action bends and extreme C-section etc. .. .
