All user reviews of 5/5 for the Fender American Standard Stratocaster [1986-2000]

Made in America in 1990
22 frets. Everything is original.
I have to change the nut and adjust to because it just frieze.
Channel mapple touch with reported
Like strata of that time, it has a single cavity for the three microphones.
(This gene purists)
Other than that, nothing special to report: it is a strato

UTILIZATION

Channel varnish fast
Good clear sound.
Good sound with a tube amp.

SOUNDS

Its great for rhythmic clear sound that I like (blues, funk, rock ..)
I use it on Prowler Peaevy tube amp (+ slight delay from time to time)
For sounds bold, I use the LEAD channel of the amp is fine.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had two months
OCCAZ purchased from just over 600 Euros (prices correct)
On OCCAZ, it's worth it, but nine is way too expensive, especially in France (!!!).
I also have a 62 Japonnaise SUCCESSFUL (with microphones US) that sound good (enough for services in small clubs) but this exceeds the (fuller, more powerful and more sustain).

United States 1989, rosewood handle, totally original

UTILIZATION

The handle is very pleasant, comfortable, without being very fast.
It is rather lgre, perfect ergonomics.
Note that I did not peter over 3 strings in 17 years )
Vibrato use gentle pain of ironing IMMEDIATE tuner box ..
You really put ill will for not having sound.

SOUNDS

Sounds very satisfactory, which does not expect to find the depth of a Les Paul or the power of an Ibanez, ESP, Lag ...
Her clear, airy, crystalline.
I use either clear sound by coupling the microphones, or by saturation with acute micro alone and it is for a vintage sound with pedals Boss OD2 exit the sound ... well mtal on! (Note that it is not good mnage Sans Amp for the cons .. like all my guitars single coils for that matter)
I add also the Boss CS2 compressor and sometimes the delay Boss DD3.
Microphones intermdiaire have serious interest for me a couple.
I play a Fender Twin, a Peavey studio pro 50 and even on a Fender RAD still sounds good ..

OVERALL OPINION

I bought it new in 1990.
I may have fallen on a good numro, but she never paid.
I tried a lot and there may be a sensitive Difference MODEL another.
I especially like its clean sounds and crunchy, but you can still push the overdrive. It is very versatile.
I paid the 5000F era. From the first chord until today, I never regret this achat.Si I could, I would even buy one of the second with Mapple handle.
A good guitar if not to be allergic to a Fender and not want to use it in a too moves away from that for which it does think.
I can not say too much about the latest that I know little, even when a blame for that Fender, Gibson, as elsewhere, is used to deliver guitars leave the factory set incorrectly, the current price, made spot, though ..

Stratocaster made in United States in 1996 and manufactures clbre so the 50-year history of the brand ... has already 12 years makes ..!!! just a. (The sounds continue to improve every day, all the better!)
Stratocaster standard, prs standard exceptions: alder body like any other but the neck seems thinner and easier to play (I do not know if it's just an impression or on the rel MODEL ...).

UTILIZATION

Channel trs enjoyable, good Access in acute, we find the right sound immediately ...

SOUNDS

The sound on the original 50th was good with the original pickups, but with the Vintage Noiseless that I brought up, it really gets warmer. Trs good sustain.
Defines a hard sound it sounds trs the blues Buddy Guy, SRV, Clapton, Hendrix ... all the microphones dpend chosen and settings ... I think that the replacement of the microphones is to too much ...!!!
I put 10/10 because there is nothing to change the sound, otherwise we must choose one other models, a Gibson sounds fatter but will fail to achieve the same clear sound. ..
Some purists will try to prove to me that the deluxe models or other models signature is nothing comparable, and of the people I tell them I also have a deluxe even a Clapton Signature, ok for playing comfort and finish you can not compare models, but the sound my ears can not prefer one or the other ...
So that's why I put this guitar 10/10 (with the original pickups I would put against by 8 / 10 that remain, however, trs good too ...)

OVERALL OPINION

Trs good guitar that is affordable in time (around 800) and will not lose value over the years ...
Good for the collector I know if this model will grow in value rapidly over the years, it has yet even when already 12 years ... (in all cases it will take more than a std strat United States of other years of the 90's), anyway I think that we should not necessarily buy a guitar with this in mind ...

Mine is a US Standard of 1994, a maple neck, 22 frets and the pickups of origin. Its color is metallic gray. A 5-way switching system and adjustable TBX at a knob, allowing logical to enrich the sound of the middle.
The myth Stratocaster with its qualities and defects, in short, a childhood dream!

UTILIZATION

The handle is a delight, very fine, and access to treble is fairly easy, due to the ergonomics of the whole. Precisely speaking of ergonomics, this guitar was actually designed for comfort, both sitting and standing. Anyway, there's no mystery why so many guitarists have taken this guitar ...
The sound is very easy to obtain, despite the lack of personality of these pickups, compared with microphones fitted to other models of Start

SOUNDS

This guitar is perfect for clean sounds or slightly crunchy. The positions of the most interesting (in my opinion) is the neck pickup, see round-the middle or the one you get dug, bluesy, great for solos and easel for a high-pitched great for rhythm. Other positions lack personality and have no interest in this guitar.
I abandoned the classic traditional amplifier for Guitar Rig 3 software solution. Well, sounds obtained are really good, knowing that with this type of product, the effects can be grown thoroughly.
However, the only flaw of this guitar are the pickups. We feel that Fender did not want to give too much personality, offering a sound, albeit typed Start, but still neutral enough to meet the needs of the majority. In addition, once you add saturation, that buzz (just normal for single coil). I think investing in Custom Shop 69 pickups to give it a bit more personality. The overall quality of the instrument is very good, it provides a reasonably priced guitar with a Stratocaster sound four times as much! I took advantage of a shield can do all this to reduce the buzz!
This will bring no added value to the instrument, so for those who want to sell after eating, it is better to turn to a Custom Shop Start directly.

OVERALL OPINION

OCCAZ purchased in 2003 560 € flycase original included, it became my favorite. I also have a beautiful Aria Pro II RS850 to finish more than perfect, but still, the layer provides an unmatched ease of use.
For that alone, the price of nine considered excessive at times, be justified still a little.
Think of the 2500 € Gibson, well at that price, Fender, you have the Custom Shop ...

UTILIZATION

Smooth round
MODEL This is very sound Fender REPRESENTATIVES

SOUNDS

Is perfect for musicians Blues, Rock, Funk and Reggae ...
I play this guitar on a lamp and a Vox AC30 Yamaha 30Watts, I sometimes go by a guitar effects GT6 pdalier ... Silence, the sound is!

OVERALL OPINION

I also use a Gibson Les Paul Studio, but the strato is what's best for all that rings 60 ', 70'

It is a standard stratocaster USA's 1996 beauty. It has an absolutely fabulous body (the wood grain through the paint).

Color: 3 Tone Sunburst with white plate
Fender Pickups 3 single coils
Slecteur 5 positions
Silver fittings
Vibrato
I replaced the pickups covers and buttons.
What's more, look at the photo is mine!

A classic that has been proven in the past.

UTILIZATION

I prfre a Gibson, but must be taken in hand to realize if this is the guitar for you. Personally, I sought and found.
The handle is trs fast lgrement flat derrire which provides a good feel of the game
Access in acute is easy. The body is lightweight.
The five positions slecteur provides a wide range of sounds.
The Start is a versatile guitar with his possde DEFINITIONS CHARACTERISTICS sound and clean. It's not for nothing that some have chosen: SRV, Hendrix, Gilmour, McCready ... Ok they are raw but you never know one day the spotlights shine for you too may be.

SOUNDS

AHHHHHHHHHHH
It should all the styles I play. While a small pedals allows for more roundness to a Led Zeppelin but it shines even in Rock Reggae Funk Jazz when needed. For the Rock, some prfrent Gibson or the other (it's not lack of choice) for me is the stratum. I have trouble buying dcrire but I have not even part of its saturated jou have a Fender amp and 20 minutes APRS test I took the map. Business class. Since it is only happiness.

OVERALL OPINION

I am satisfied.

- USA
- Body and neck fresne Mapple Mapple key 22 frets
- 2 points synchronized tremolo has adjustable bridges
- A general volume and 2 tone (serious and micro micro acute) 5-way switch from a 80's (neck pickup combined neck and middle, middle only, middle and combined acute, acute only) I have modified mine with a push pull to force the micro serious for all possible combinations (severe acute + and 3 microphones)
- Round handle and wide enough cargo THICK his slap and sounds alone

UTILIZATION

- The handle is very kind, he forgives all, it's butter
- Access to acute heel is ok but the profiles of more recent evidence that deluxe is to improve
- It's lightweight and ergonomic while has not been studied and streamlined in design is ca lazer "vintage" the weight is much easier to manage than a les paul for a concert of several hours and the balance is niquel
- The sound stratum is 100% guaranteed (it certainly more than that ...)

SOUNDS

- For funky cocottes is not better
- I play a fender blues deville so it's hard enough to saturate but I have long had a marshall and the legend that is ..... knock on the door
- It is very crystal-clear especially with the micro environment and d (love the sound characteristic of the neck pickup is at the same time slapping, bass

OVERALL OPINION

- I have 12 years
- She returned my game and the day I crossed his path.
I was pro les paul has the top prize by the generosity and easy game that brought me now if something does not ring I know it's because I screwed it (sometimes badly) I do not look like much of what made me suffer my beloved Les Paul
- Before this stratum had therefore played les paul aria and a small basic
- I bought it in 95 (93 is a model I think) of ocaz and has always the same rating at that time I think it deserved and that it is good value for money (U.S. strats for that time)
However I do not like paying the price for the new (even U.S.) that I find much less cared for outside the deluxe
Today I have the impression that to find the equivalent of a quality standard of 90's you need to type in the deluxe 2000
brief sign of the times
- I will dream with the experience to rediscover for the first time the feelings I had when trying this stratum there are over 10 years

Alas we left we were not too lucky in manufacturing Contents bass guitar (because performance requires less demand) always the same color or same config .... then here CRER is best from a solid base his guitar.
This one is called Firsty is my first electric guitar in 1991 she is a U.S. standart.Elle TARS has a `handle 22 frettes.seuls the handle, body and vibrato usa 2 points home. my perception of the custom made reste.deux Kinman pickups USA singlecoil left sleeve and the middle (a wonder: a hot DEFINITIONS standard). easel in a dual Seymour Duncan USA splitable singles Pearly MODEL Gates.un its not too aggressive, very bluesy we split and we get more sauce for a solo guitar arrache.cette is not intended to mtal cependant.un another selector allows any combination of microphones . three at the same tps if you can get so veut.on sounds approaching astonishment of tlcaster.les are: Mechanical Sperzel blocage.elles does dsaccordent jamais.tout topsides type is nickel and the personal touch that is around twice with the rest of this guitar a unique instrument
She has 18 years today (major lol) and I think it's a killer it is invaluable and often attracts my eyes I curiosit.quand the branch in my HIWATT Custom 100, Ben is more of comparison .. ..
