MGR/david vuahgan-hirsch « Fender '62 Stratocaster Reissue »
Published on 04/17/03 at 15:00The RRP is £570 but at a sale at Andertons in Guildford i got it for a steal price - £370. Dunno if i'd pay full whack for it, i mean yeah its quality but i might have just settled for a standard. still...if you see one going cheap, or if you just want THAT tone, this is the beast!
The tone is fantastic. you really get those screaming highs and the piano like projection of the low strings is gorgious. through my line 6 flextone II amp it's just a HUGE tone. great looks. great neck, great pickups, no shoddy parts anywhere! refreshing at this price. its an utterly brilliant package and it's the business. epiphone, ibanez...they cant rival this. great super 250's strings. oh yeah...free deluxe gig bag too...winner!
LOL. nothing! this tone makes you realise just how crap everything else is! wicked bargin!
construction and quality is second to none. forget how standard strats feel, this is a different league. the neck is finished with a lovely shiny laquer to PERFECTION - i love that neck! the ping tuners are SOOO much better than the standards'. its solid, (mexican built, but hell they make the bodies up north anyhow) and its just really really cool to be honest! play one, compare it to the standard (take a moment to laugh) then go choose your colour! whites great with the rosewood fretboard btw!
honestly? this is the first guitar i have ever played that i like EVERYTHING about. you dont need to spend more money than this to get a top flight machine, seriously, this would do for pros. if you even think about getting a strat, this is THE ONE. (ps dont think 'vintage' means it cant do modern stuff. this nails the modern marshall vibe better than my mates ibanez. GO BUY THIS!
