It's actually a classic 60's Manufacturing Mexico.
Produces only about 500 Distribus the European market.
What is the diffrence of a 60's (apart from Rea Obviously signature on the handle) are the large size frets, the cops Alder (only for classic sunburst 60's) and especially super finish color: pink shell.
Mcaniques, vintage vibrato and much Obviously Alnico V.
I put 9 because of the stem of vibrato, which quickly took the game in the thread (apparently known problem of this kind of vibrato). Is corrected by wrapping tflon of the thread (thank you to AFiens for the tip)

UTILIZATION

Channel C as the 60's.
Alder body, therefore it is not specially lgre (even heavy plutt)
His strat typ, team ropes with fender 150 in 11-52 (that big plutt) is allowing it to sound as well, but it is not for playing the blues but plutt of Hank Marvin (like 50's).
Unfortunately, the Fender strings do not sound a long time and I team in Elixir 9-46, because I prfre mtalliques crystalline and sounds.

SOUNDS

The sound dpend many strings with which the team.
But we remain in the clean, dry and snapping when we go there fairly dry with mdiator (or fingers as Knopfler).
To give warmth to the sound (because I have no guitar amp, I go directly into a console) I Inserted in a multi-purpose Sansamp GT-2 and AC does it well.

OVERALL OPINION

Bought new, the price is of course more than lev classic 60's but it is reasonable (820 euros) in view of the remarks made above.
I put 9 because it's still even a bit expensive, but I like this color so ,.... and well sr.
