Particular features maple neck:
reported no key (the key is the handle = "fingerboard buffed") + satin varnish on the back of the neck (it slides better for the hand!) and gloss over the "key".

Peculiarity of the bridge: the bridges are different from old ones.



UTILIZATION

The neck is especially nice! The satin finish allows it to slip behind without hooked!

Ergonomics is the stratum, for me is ideal.
Weight: Featherweight.
Access to treble: I only play very rarely in the treble, I would not be good advice ...

The sound: classic Fender sound, except for the first 2 positions = humbucker sound more "full", a little distorted, less clear than a simple bobinnage.

SOUNDS

Style of music: rock / pop / blues

For distortion sounds: the position humbucker is ideal, for others, his classic Fender.

I play on a Trace Elliot bass amp (I'm bass player)


OVERALL OPINION

I wanted to buy a Start (my ex-strat sold several years ago).

I tried the same with a rosewood fingerboard, but I have not had time to realize the difference.

What I like about this guitar, the back of the neck in satin finish (not glossy, it slips less). And body shape that you can play sitting without seeing the stick up or down (I tried a Gibson Les Paul is way too unbalanced, I do not like, but then not at all!)
