Published on 05/13/11 at 03:17American manufacture, vibrato amended vibrato knife on two screw fulcrum. A little strange for a Fender vibrato, especially given the fragility of knives long term ...
22 frets, vintage model still differs (for the better?)
Maple neck, maple fingerboard. Cream paint (for the love of Hendrix at Woodstock!
3 single coil pickups american standard
a volume control, two tone controls
I put a very good because at the moment, only the vibrato has really caused problems (I've stuck on the table, having added two springs, I do not know if I did well but I I was tired of tune. The problem is that when I try to send a bit of vibrato, I have to press like crazy on the whammy bar and it's out of tune guitar in 2s ... I'll be set and j'uperai this topic.)
UTILIZATION
Okay, so coming from the world the Les Paul, super different, I really find it too lightly. But it's an advantage for many people! Cutting the body in the comfort of the womb was a bit puzzled too. but it quite quickly actually. Also from the world of logs that are the Gibson sleeves, the sleeve of the stratovolcano that came to hand was a little afraid, afraid of breaking it in too hard ... benda But no. The beast holds up. True in two days I was almost too comfortable on this than on my old shovel Scarlett (a Gibson in 1991) so no lizard. I put great, but it's almost racism on my part.
SOUNDS
While there, we enter the difficult part. Insofar as I love the distortion, and I had appropriately equipped to meet the Les Paul, I must admit I was disappointed that the strat on this point. Even if ... We finally get to find what you want. It's slamming, lens, not fat as they not add masses of Fuzz. The clean sounds are the most beautiful I have so far obtained on a guitar. Very versatile and volatile sounds clear, it's really a joy to play. on the other hand ... In disto, say what you want, CA P ***** BLOWS! The sound was pretty good air behind this wall of white noise, but my god it's breath and as it sizzles! At the same time my old guitar was an exceptionally quiet operation, and I've plugged this shovel in a Fender Champ XD which seems to have a small pb ... I'll have to test this amp with my Gibson. And he accepts badly effects. With a Big Muff, ProCo Rat, nothing to do, I do not much sound. Advice of those who? (Strata, I mean) I put average because average.
OVERALL OPINION
So I use it for 2 years now, but as I travel a lot I have not always with me, and I have not often used in the best conditions. she made a dozen concerts, and has never really held a candle to my Les Paul. I may have fallen on the wrong number, dunno ... I tried a telecaster before, it slammed it, but I changed it because I found the sound too close to my Les Paul ... Error perhaps. Nevertheless, and despite the fact that she snores like a hair dryer as soon as you plug a distortion is a shovel that I love, especially with its clear sound, comfort and look of death killer!
The value is not fantastic, especially given the quality of wiring. I think I would go for a deluxe if I had to redo this choice, the range above draws me a little more. However I do not intend to sell right away, and it's still a very high end guitar.
