MGR/Anonymous « Fender American Standard Stratocaster »
Published on 06/25/01 at 15:00OK... Well I bought this instrument 1 year ago, I paid 650 USD for it (it was new)..
I was learning to play and I want a good instrument.... something that make me play more and more and something that inspires me to make music..... and I Found it !!
a Beautiful Black American Standard Stratocaster with Tremolo.
Well.. When you start to play a Original Stratocaster you feel something strange... You can fell the notes in your fingers... Maybe this is not the most expensive instrument in the world.. but this instrument have history, reputation, fame, etc etc...
When I plugged in to my fender amp I listen that classic noise that single coil pickups produce.. but hey!! this is a Strat!! a Real Strat!!!, I play mainly Heavy Metal and the single coils are not the perfect choice for that music, so I changed the pickups for a dimarzio fast track 2 in the bridge and neck position and a fast track 1 in the middle, they are noiseless and with more gain and better character in distortion.
But for a clear sound thats nothing like a strat with good single coils.
: I dont like the factory setup !! The strings are too high and the intonation is totally crazy, the pickup height are acceptable but not the best.
Personally I Dont like the stock single coils (delta tone).
HEY !! This is the American Version of the strat, the finish is beautiful, clean its like a mirror, if you look at directly you can see your face and your smile in the strat body.
The fretwork is exact, and the finish in the fretboard is wonderful, when you put your fingers there, you feel a very very relaxan position that inspires you to play, Its a very very gooood guitar...
Well this is the original strat, when you got it you got the same guitar that hendrix, clapton, srv !!..
you can feel like they felt with their guitars.. that inspires you to create more music and learn some more...
if you are a bluesman, the strat is a have to.
