Minimok

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 ...
