no need to say more everybody knows.

UTILIZATION

The neck is thinner than the Start 70 '
more enjoyable to play
I enjoy playing the top but I find the switch wrong place, when irritated, you can toggle the switch to the bridge, but hey, it's a matter of habit.
The floyd is very good, no realignment of the strings after several use me!

SOUNDS

It's a good guitar sound strato made several times around the earth and has not finished turning.
This gives a clear palette of its very large, except of course the big saturations.
On my tube amp, when I push too much saturation sound loses definition and becomes unpleasant to listen, this is the problem of single coil fender.

But if the Jazz to Rock, it's great and more with the characters!
The clean sound is great, Dire Straits, Eric Clapton etc. ... a must.
Low-distortion sound very very good too ....
The large distortion, adios amigos, we must move on anything ...
I also find it lacks sustain.

Note, the pickups give a bit of noise in saturation.

This is a guitar that needs a different type guitar gibson, ibanez humbucker has to broaden the spectrum to the metal / hard rock

OVERALL OPINION

Guitar that I recommend, although I found it a bit expensive, especially the finish is not the best.
His problem now is that it is less versatile than some recent guitar.
There are guitars on the market at the same price, but more versatile, even if it was not the characters microphones fender.
But anyway, it's your music style and taste, which guides you in your choice, all this is very subjective ... is not it?
