Published on 12/01/13 at 04:36I tried it yesterday on an Ibanez amp clear sound for about 20 minutes:
- Handle: not nice and not properly adjusted
- Mechanical: ok, normal for this price
- Microphones: no personality or powerful or velvety fault I always found on almost all strats I tried, good microphones to do everything that is good for nothing
UTILIZATION
handle: I owned a musicmaster 78, a 1983 sq. TV, I played on a classic vibe tele, a strat Southwestern and Southwestern TV and I itches on full fender models and it is worse, at the time I thought "this is a good scratching at 600E failed, it happens," and I saw the label in 1250, then I thought I would be uncomfortable! !
SOUNDS
sonnorité: then it's really the weak point of many strats with this one, it does not sound vintage and it does not tear, basically if you want to play brianjonestown killing it does not and if you play slayer or the lamb of god it does not do either. A guitar should be made to play extreme music, otherwise it is rotten like the millions of infected stuff found on the net, I would say that if you compare to the literature, it would be ideal for a skyscraper or musso a levy, but not for a Proust or William Burroughs, wholesale guitar that will appeal to the majority. Many people unfortunately do not realize that this is going to create something ultimate and this is not a way to pass the time, but to pass the time this guitar is perfect. After I tried on the same amp a classic vibe 50 and where happiness (I bought it), vintage microphones very powerful, well-adjusted to 4 times cheaper guitar. The seller told me "it gives them pleasure of writing made in usa". Note that I'm not a frustrated criticizing expensive guitars, I have a esp, a gibson ebony, I am not condoning the cheap, I say beware of scammers and that guitar "versatile" is necessarily crap.
OVERALL OPINION
Overall rating: guitar goes everywhere with drinking sounds but without figures, for € 1,250, it's violent, microphones which are very far from vintage. I compare this guitar to a sedan or SUV is ç say that it is not a sports car or a road, but ideal for going shopping on Sunday. It is in this spirit (almost 50 years, I've never had sedan that utilities for work or sports to explode, I'm a logical, and it is the same for guitars) . It will work with a multi effect modeling and without personality type amp mustang, if you are like me marshall plexi, Soldano, mxr, electro harmonix, go your way. Basically you will be far from the shadows and black label society, probably ideal for playing Goldman, of Clapton or dire straits, but for the true rock n roll, the velvet stooges through the ventures or 13 floor elevator or newest Alice in chains and lanegan, there are other strats and guitars, but not this one, go your way. Members of Fender guitars stop making "go anywhere" because you know make bombs (I know these are the ones that best sell passes everywhere), so goes life. Level rating, what I blame this guitar is its transparency, which I must recognize highly appealing and explains its success.
