Résumé for this is a classic Start with a pice Saddle handle and a body in three pices of alder, US team of three microphones, to a set of Gotoh vintage locking mcaniques and a slecteur 5 positions while a bit unusual.

The MODEL is available in two finishes: silver (Photo AF) or two-tone sunburst. Note that Fender does not offer a round button with the SLAR CP50.

I have no complaints about the finish or not the frets, but I bought my copy in a store and I really verifies the instrument before spending the cash.

At the indoor cblage own, however, remained qq rsidus sawdust I limin later ...

UTILIZATION

Guitar lgre enough, ~ 3kg, trs enjoyable to work and play without tiring standing!

Channel old school, V-shaped, rather consquent, but I find extremely enjoyable! Say it is typically the kind of handle unusual or that is worshiped dtest, but that can leave indiffrent.

The action is low enough and the game trs comfortable ...

The slecteur is unique in the sense that the position 4 (from the bridge) active pickups the neck and bridge. The standard position mid + neck pickup is not available on the MODEL.

However on my copy it is possible to obtain a position on the 6th slecteur starting from the 4 and 3 to the slippery lgrement giving sth that approaches the classic 4-position ... I do not know if this is a bad contact in the slecteur (the cblage own) or if it is a use that is possible dtourne on other slecteurs / MODELS ...

The quality of the knobs is correct trs. Let's say they let a lot of variations, nanmoins they lack a little finesse in the beginners course.

Well I'm not a fan of vintage mcaniques blocking because I find them impractical. But I must admit they do a good job because the holding of agreement is excellent!

For résumé, one is dealing a strat extremely comfortable because lgre, low action and taking good agreement ...

SOUNDS

Guitar excels in funk, the Affro, hendrixien blues, reggae, rock trs old school, anything that "slap".

Difficult to break through against the sound rounder, more jazzy ... The bass are all the same a bit behind.

By dlivr is against sound and trs trs prcis well Dfine clear that both saturated. In addition there possde a nice color trs "old".

Overall the sound quality is excellent but the instrument does not provide a standard versatility.

While the 5 (or 6) positions allow variations but still a bit in the same register.

OVERALL OPINION

Basically we are dealing with an instrument of good quality, lightweight, easy to play and provides wonderful sound.

Behind the decor is a lack of versatility because the lack of sound palette sounds more "round".

It's a guitar sound possde a true identity of the opposite strat who call themselves "gnralistes".

This can be seen as a default or quality of any dpend what you are looking ...

Personally j'tais looking for a guitar funk plutt East and I must say I'm thrilled to note gnrale enough o leve!

In a year of intensive 频 nothing has changed for me seems to confirm the quality of manufacture.

A budget needs and the choice I would do Gaux eyes closed.
