Micro custom shop just 60 micro worth 260 euros

NOTICE GLOBAL

Nickel

Made in Mexico, there was on mine a small defect at varnish marks on the neck. Apart from that, nothing to report. Vibrato not tune the guitar. I do not use it but I tried!
Not to be confused with the classic 60's worth on average € 100 less.

UTILIZATION

One of the highlights of this guitar, the neck. Low action, slides perfectly. It is fine and easy. For access to acute, well it is a strat! If the weight is it seems to me in the standards.

SOUNDS

The second strong point, the sound. The pickups are custom shop 69 lovely. I made the stupid shield to avoid disagreeable snoring but that is not surprising in view of the configuration.
I play on two amps, a greta and a blues junior emerald green with a TS9 and a compressor and it's magic. This guitar a very distinctive sound and his name is not usurped. The five positions are all very different and I put a little time to understand that it is impossible to set the tone on the guitar for the pickup! I found it a little too loud but just play it on the setting of the amp or pedals.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two years this is why I speak today. My first guitar was a "4x4" model, she did many things well, but no personality. This is very typical but this is what I love. I tried Mexico base model, and it surpasses. Knowing that the microphones in the worth € 180, the difference is justified. It sounds good I find not connected.
Last thing, I had the opportunity this year to play on the same model in the store to try an amp and I was surprised by the big difference in sensation. Indeed, the handle slipped less and action was higher. For action is not a setting (mine was well adjusted basis), in contrast to the heat I do not know if this is because the guitar was new or varnish was ill-posed. Maybe try several models before buying.
I remake that choice and I do not think me apart. When I bought it was costing a poile less than 700 € which seems justified to me. Very good guitar!

Strat made in Mexico typical config.
The bridge is a two item Vintage.

UTILIZATION

Overall very nice guitar playing.
It is well balanced, the handle is a real treat.

SOUNDS

The is the strong point of this strat.
It sounds awfully good.
The pickups are custom 69 for many.
Very versatile, I can play a little every style and rendering is superb on my vox amps.

OVERALL OPINION

I recently but honestly, it's the best strat on which I played.
I had a lot of guitars and I'm getting a little experience.
There are some years I had a Southwestern standard appears to be a toy next.
Everything is good quality, electronics, instrument making, wood.
I removed the pickguard when changing strings and quality of welds and components is very satisfactory.
I intended to buy one because I kept us bad memories of my standard.
I do not regret my choice, also if I had known, I would have bought before !!!!!
I think to keep a good time so I'm enjoying it.

A stratocaster,
a little nostalgic vintage series
"Because it was better before" as they say ...

"Custom shop designed" - the addition of the well that is designed to differentiate it from its big sister, how else to justify the 2000 euro difference between these models??

So vintage spirit, instrument very beautiful and well finished
one wonders why vibrato 2 anchor points ...?
not very vintage! but you soon realize that this guitar "to any great" and that he needed that there are better and more accurate

Moreover, the pickups are Custom Shop 69 original ^ ^

UTILIZATION

the guitar is heavy and exudes quality
it leaves no scratch indifferent as she throws

I had a lot of strat FENDER: An American std U.S. in 1997, a Mexican std 1994 and Japan in 1993. Well this player Classic is the most remarkable for its quality finish, its materials, its vintage look very 60's.

Sonic Blue color is a little pâlichonne
I struggled to get used to
Blue looks more blue in the pictures ...

the handle is really excellent,
the almost flat radius would be the only problem for me (I sold it because of that)
we like it or not, but the whole is super comfortable in all playing positions

SOUNDS

I play blues rock 70's

"Rory out in this guitar!" ...
as connected to a vintage tube amp, it's simply awesome
Same conclusion with my old strat U.S., Mex and Japan: that is the best in terms of sound.

set the custom shop 69 originally fitted is a killer!
the Middle Pickup are falling, it sounds Hendrix, Vaughan, Clapton ...: powerful and warm.
Clean> listen "little wing"
OD> listen "the sunshine of love"

I will not be objective about the micro acute,
because I hate this position on strats, even the most beautiful sets (I've tasted yet) have never changed my mind.
I recommend replacing it with a Di Marzio DP111, which generates sound P90 that will complement the vintage sound palette while retaining the format single coil strat not distort the guitar (OK now I'm off topic! But think about it. ..)

OVERALL OPINION

I used this guitar 6 months
320th purchased an old gentleman who had not played absolutely
then I just sell it to another shovel more suitable to my style.

Those who do not like strat (like me finally) be surprised but spend their way: a strat remains a strat!
For strat-addicts is really up this guitar because, as announced at the beginning "it has everything a great": the difference between the classic player 60's and a "true" custom shop will be played on finishing details or the choice of wood supposed to be more precious or more sec ... short on commercial arguments that satisfy their jaded owners see small Mexican almost identical but paid 4 times cheaper than their

So in conclusion a very good strat, the best I've played in 15 years:
the sound is amazing for a guitar at this price, and comfort is largely comparison with CS usa.

to 400/450e this is a good deal

We will go fast:
Body: Alder
Neck: Maple rosewood fingerboard 21 frets
Bridge: Synchronized two anchor with 6 wrought iron bridges
Controls: 1 volume and 2 tone, 1 5-way switch, like any Stratocaster.
Micro: Fender Custom Shop 69

UTILIZATION

The handle is a marvel, it glides, and after 3 years of use I can confirm that.
The Gloss finish is very nice, it gives a nice vintage tint to see and allows you to drag the hand with a speed and accuracy unparalleled (except highway innings if uncomfortably awful sound point of view.
It includes 21 cargo, so 21 boxes, which are all easily accessible (although I have fingers loggers). The medium jumbo frets offers a good balance between ease of play and increased fullness and richness typical sound of the Stratocaster.
Its shape is classic Stratocaster C also, I prefer to handle this V-neck, but it is a matter of taste.

Clearly the handle is very easy to learn, whether for an experienced or a beginner.
I find nothing to say about this race. And I will put ill will.

SOUNDS

While the noise level is very typical Strat, and it's very typical Vintage, a low output of forcing up the tube amp. (Which tends to do good to my ears and evil than neighbors).
This guitar sounds really good with a tube amp, to believe it is made for.

Personally I play Blues, Blues Rock, Rock, Psyche music and finally all that comes from years 60 and 70. And I found all the sounds of my favorite artists.
The bass is velvety, I even surprised to play a little with Jazz (with good tone controls possible yes yes ...)
The highs are a little shrill for me, but it's the principle of the Strat, but I noticed after having completely shielded (cavity and cables) the sonic palette c'' was expanded and the sound of pickup had more bite and much less strident.
Mediums are a bit feeble but it is not unpleasant either.

In the neck position:
The bass is round, the highs are foil (not violent), which is extremely good for the Blues, the rhythm of the serious ropes and just punch the little break and solo treble strings on!
Also very nice in a Hendrixiens style.

In the neck + middle position:
Treble and bass very balanced which allows very wrapped his rather focused on the low frequencies, which is delight for little sweetness Bluesy Jazz, with good tone control can play BB King, and even accompanying Jazz, may be a little too slammed for Jazz solos.

In middle position:
This is pure Rock and Blues Rock is rich in medium (the only place with really mediums), perfect for the riff, if you like Cream, the Yardbirds, and other such groups, this position will delight .
The tone control is not very useful for my taste also I modified to put a potentiometer type Blender (which mixes the bridge and neck pickups together next level knob).

In middle position + bridge:
The sound is pretty impressive, it gives an impression of natural compression.
The are is slammed with a lot of sustain (it is the vintage style single coil pickups anyway). It is a sound which is not bad for the Funk, Blues or a little funky, very nice especially in rhythm.

In the bridge position:
It is very sharp, dry. Rock for the course, or the Clapton Blues Rock (album From The Cradle, for example). Very nice when you want to be a noticeable difference between a rhythm and a solo in a song.
The sound is more accurate and less hot than the other positions, but not sustain much of an attack.
With a tube amp mics give all their values.


I want to clarify that my Classic Player is compared to a new, fully shielded with copper and wiring redone with two-wire cable, and all solder with silver solder.
So there is absolutely no buzz and the sound of microphones is much broader sound palette is increased and microphones really give the best of themselves.
But I used the guitar for 2 years and a half without being shielded and rewired and all that I have written is true, imagine only work with shielding and circuit optimization you the same sound, but very very much better * _ *: D

OVERALL OPINION

So I have the guitar for 3 years, I use a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe mainly.
I do have a TS9DX a Vox V847 permanently connected. Other effects coming soon: D

When I bought it three years ago I had saved for a long time (I was high school) and I had enough money to buy the American Standart, and American Deluxe used. I was in the store, I had to try a dozen different Strato on different amp (a Marshall, Fender, and Mesa) directly in the store and this is the one that I fell in love. I was already totally influenced by the 60s and 70s, and this was all Strat to sound like her.
And I want to make special mention of the handle which is far far nicer than all the U.S. that I've used in the store.

A very good Stratocaster for those who want the vintage, I would advise against any person musical affinity post 80 '

Almost all been said. Classic Player Series, like most Mexican Fender series corresponds to a U.S. series. Presently the Vintage Hot Rod. The principle is to start from a vintage replica and modernize key aspects. This work was entrusted to a luthier Custom Shop Greg Fessler. It has chosen from a Strat version 60's and modify it with:
- A flat handle with a 12 inch radius and medium jumbo frets,
- A U.S. easel with 2 anchors as Custom Shop
- And most of the U.S. Custom Shop 69 pickups.
- A Sonic Blue finish more or less restricted to the 60 reissue custom shop in 2006.
All offered at a price of 700 € is the upscale Fender Mexico.

UTILIZATION

Say plainly that the finish of the Classic Player 60 is very good and quite at a U.S. standard. I like the handle and not shiny like satin or American Standard series Special, but that is a matter of taste. The U.S. hardware exudes quality (easel, accurate and reliable mechanical) and if you open the hood, we see that the mail is also identical to U.S. models.

SOUNDS

My Classic Player Strat is my second. I owned an American Standard 91 years ago. The Player Classic is much better in terms of finish and sound. The 91 was happening everywhere and quite tasteless, Player Classic is full of personality. Note that I took time to adapt and I review all of my settings effect and amp! The studs staggered pickups highlight the G string creating an imbalance that must be corrected to avoid the amp sounds too loud.
Microphones 69 are very bright and pêchus instantly providing crystal clear sound typical of the 70's (Little Wing, Sweet home Alabama, ...), especially at positions 2 and 4 are fantastic. You must love and know in advance. Personally I love and it is for this reason that I chose. Amateurs sounds rounder and medium, opt for microphones 57/62 (classic player 50) or Texas Special (Special American) more discreet. Amateurs versatility, you direct to a standard set most happening everywhere.

OVERALL OPINION

By combining a violin quality Mexican and U.S. components, the classic strats offer players a fantastic price / quality ratio makes objectively unnecessary to add more than 400 € in American Standard or 200 € in American Special which is only Highway 1 Revisited with a gloss paint on the body and Texas Special pickups.
If you want the Texas Special, we will be better served in my opinion with a series Mexican Roadhouse Stratocaster positioned at the same price as the Classic Player.

All been said before. Very nice finish on mine. I did not find fault ... if ah: Made in Mexico.
Sonic blue color is gorgeous.

UTILIZATION

This is my only Strat and I find it really great and versatile
Channel and varnish ultra easy, the sound is there of you open the knobs.

SOUNDS

To play blues, rock, funk ... In fact anything that can be played with a Strat because yes it is a Strat and it's still there for the Hendrix, Clapton's, the Popa Chubby ... Whichever amp you will sound and playability of the Strat!
I play on my little Champion 600 or on my Vox DA30 to modeling but the best thing lamps.
Everything sounds but the sounds are those I prefer with, even a little crunchy, the fatter my Les Paul sound better anyway!

OVERALL OPINION

As I read and heard, this guitar is one of the best value for the price, acquisition of a Strat and a Fender please!
It is filled according to the Strat and is not the most versatile microphones with custom 69 but it does so very well and with a good pedal and a tube amp will satisfy the majority of budding Hendrix!
Good investment.

Mexican manufacturing, but frankly as USD.
Synchronised bridge type does not tune the guitar even after hours of use.
5-way switch, all found their way into different musical style.
Personally I love the bridge position (Hank Marvin), and the neck position for its warmth and roundness of low pass on a little slamming of beauty (not aggressive) has very low current.
unlike its sister model of standart, the tone controls are effective in the treble and bass are noticeable for different setting.
against by the volume has always made because the microphone is a little weak, but few had the advantage of having to push a little volume of the amp (heat lamps) and give full sound quality without offending the neighbors .

UTILIZATION

maple neck C shape, very pleasant, easy access to acute, 21 jumbo frets great comfort, high quality polished (his slides alone) direct ownership, for me one of the best run of the said stratocaster, fittings of good quality (type 60) we do not ever tired.
weight, lighter than the model but its still a standart stratocaster!.
no need to push for setting a beautiful sound, you plug your eyes closed
and it does the job (as I will not say it applies what it gives).

SOUNDS

I play mostly shadows, hank marvin, Knopf, and I find my account, it is for his.
the palette of sound is very versatile and I think all styles of music are within the reach of this guitar (flat for the thrash metal).
the bridge pickup is too flashy as some, I find it very personalized Christalin a wish, the intermediate position as interesting but I use less, the neck position is simply sublime on any retouve
the quality of acute lower stratosphere accompanied by beautiful plump high quality.
I do not just give a negative opinion on the microphone positions.
I use a VOX AC15 c1 (the perfect match exists) is my best experience of connection between a Start and an amp.

OVERALL OPINION

I use my past, it surprises me every day.
I play some myself on a model first standart price.
I left for a highway one after testing: there's no photo, custom microphones
Bobbins with 69 gray of the player 60 are for something, as the overall quality of the instrument is higher in both the varnish of the fittings, the grip of the handle.
I love his line perfect, thin body, his air of age to have a cause of some older elements used in its manufacture.
its range of sound, all as pretty as the other one.
the price jump at the chance because I believe what does stay longer at this price.
as someone said above, in ten or twenty years, everyone will want
this guitar, then definitely yes I would do this choice.

Mexico.
Very pale blue body, rosewood fingerboard almost flat. 3 single vintage.
Ping vintage mechanical.
For complete description, go to any site.
Perfect finish.
Cover "luxury" rather limited. (= Cheap) but it's better than nothing.
I do not like the truss-rod body under the open side pickgard. It is impossible to optimize.

UTILIZATION

The guitar is pretty heavy to me. (Much more than my RF1000 LAG Roxane). Otherwise it is very enjoyable to play, vibrato is top, the mechanics are very good agreement despite their vintage config. It acts as a stratum, for my part, fairly flat key is fine with me.

SOUNDS

It sounds very well already empty. Very powerful, very funky / country.
Once connected: low output, very clear sound slamming, the sound stratum in its glory on the first 4 positions, especially positions mixed beautiful. Sorry, I do not like the sound of the pickup, regardless of the setting of the amp. A little too bright without being niaque should compensate. I did not find any good use.
Overall, clear sound perfect, especially with a little chorus or phaser. Crunch sound pretty good. In distortion, nothing very convincing. (I play on Laney VC15, BB preamp and Zvzex Distortron). But for everything else, this guitar is worth a visit for 10 times the price.
Attention, the shield of the cavities is to make it much buzz except on the intermediate positions, and it is better to keep hold of the ropes.

OVERALL OPINION

3 months of use.
Likes: the look, character, fun to play, his funky / blues / country, or light crunch, finish, vibrato, the key with her big landmarks, the first 4 positions of the selector, the value for money.
I dislike: the cover, the weight, the total lack of electrical insulation, the trussrod, micro acute; the sound distortion.

Mexico
Description identical

UTILIZATION

Channel C the radius pleasant little bomb. Varnish great.
Access to acute nickel.
Ergonomics Start ... very good ... body "body contour"
Can be a bit heavy.
Vintage Start sound with lots of sustain and an excellent crunch.
The settings are precise and efficient (wide variety of sounds)

SOUNDS

I play on a vintage tube amp Sound RT and sounds great, very strat, precise and punchy enough.
The settings I was surprised because it's much more accurate and efficient than all my other guitars.

OVERALL OPINION

I like the sound ... the look ... the price my faith is not bad
I find it a bit heavy.
Q / p excelllent.
Good choice for a strat chercche which has its mouth, and the sound is not to € 3000 to the top ... and does not quiver for U.S. bases.

I bought tomorrow.

So this beautiful stratocaster was manufactured in Mexico, when it comes to detail everything has already been said. Overall this is a guitar "Designed By The Custom Shop" a little dream at a reasonable price, especially a guitar on the basis of an instrument of the 60 (neck profile, pickups, mechanical ... ) but with the current characteristics especially in terms of radius 12 ", which is more" modern ".

First you must know that the level of finish of this guitar is quite exceptional considering its price.

The guitar weighs weight which is good for sustain. The color is Sonic Blue MA-GNI-FI-QUE .. The varnish of the neck is superb, and I must say that this guitar has no shame over American Deluxe finish (I've owned in the past). For finishes, even the cavity of the springs is neat vibrato while on some Mexican is not the case. The handle on both ends is fast and the choice of wood is not low end at all (at least on mine) the wood dense and the veins seem tight enough.

The key is rosewood top, but watch out I saw another CP60 with wooden key was poor including lighter shades in place which was rather bs-end.

Only minor complaint in niveaudes finishes: The fret board deserved a more careful polishing of it is still a bit rough in places.

UTILIZATION

The neck is super nice subject you love thick enough to handle, this is a 60 C profile that I like personally. The varnish is superb making me run fast enough especially as the radius is 12 ".

Access to acute is the same as that of any stratocaster. We get a really beautiful and good guitar.

For sound you must know that the microphones are embaqués CUSTOMS 69, and it has the roundness and warmth with these bite-specific microphones, hard to describe and so much fun to play rocks, for example (in my opinion ) as 57'62 '(I have on another layer).

What is stunning is that the microphone on the sharp guitar is frankly good, what about fisheries usually stratos for my taste. There is only happiness. Knowing that my own experiences to a small change to the extent that the tone knob which acts normally on the microphone in the middle is connected to the bridge pickup which I think ten times the value of the bridge pickup.

Are obtained stratocastérien beautiful sounds in both clean sounds distorted sounds and this guitar j'AAAAAADDDDOOOOOORRRRREEEEE

SOUNDS

This guitar allows for clean sounds and banging, clear and bright, smooth and beautiful saturated, the more I find that the tone controls really work. Some stratos with other mics including 54 give even more in the CP60 is crystalline but really I'm not afraid to say, very high quality.

Sounds steeped standards of the brand and well above the Highway american one, and that I think Standart US splinter-free.

Well done to the Mexican allow us to have a very good strat close to excellence without selling any of its organs ...

OVERALL OPINION

I had a lot of guitar in my hands, and I still have quite a bit. The classic is a guitar player with lots of character, extremely serious and well finished. I wonder if Fender is going to leave it long in its catalog because it undermines a lot of models and Mexican and US. In short, my next step will be a custom shop, but really I can only advise the Player Classic because it is a small bomb.

Everything is dj said (see below)

UTILIZATION

One of the reasons that made me silent hsiter me this guitar the neck (the paint)
APRS and have tried it in stores ... ben am I left with ... I could not leave.
The handle is really enjoyable trs,
the frets and well finished,
glides well ... but happiness.
The strings are Fender Super 250's (10-46) and they sound really good.

SOUNDS

Cot's ... ben is the Fender Start ... and good.
It's my style trs agree Blues / Rock / Hard Rock.
The sound really typ Start ... I have preferences for a more central micro slamming
Positions and give her velvety intermdiaires really enjoyable.
Only minor complaint, the bridge pickup is really trs acute, but a small micro rglage should rsoudre this.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had three months.
Premire is my "real" electric guitar ... and I really feel the difference.
The tuning does not move a power the other (I have the rgler 2 or 3 times in 2 weeks).
The handle is really nice and especially the color "Sonic Blue" is simply beautiful.

As indicated j'hsitai just take it ... given advice, SPECIFICATIONS (varnish stick) etc ... and once a glimpse in the store, I am REALLY in love with her.
<ul> She is Beautiful
It sounds great
And if it lasts more time (the time will tell). </ul>
I would do this choice with his eyes closed and I think for the price, it is hard to beat and guaranteed for 5 years by Fender France.
<p class="bbcode-offtopic"> Off topic: <span>Please note, that a little bit ngocier in Mag. Pigale and a 5-year warranty on an instrument of this kind become a real long-term investment.

Channel C-shape

21 Jumbo frets (frets how big!)

custom mic 69

Volume 1 / 2 tones / 5 positions

UTILIZATION

The C-shaped handle with slightly rounded button is nice and the adaptation is done without problem.

The ergonomics are very good well-balanced, the cuts lower the body make it a very nice guitar that's more intuitive Paul more linear in form.

Access from the 15th box is relatively quite well, (access is common to other strata) it's true that I have big paws, which this opinion is only my opinion!

Easily obtained good or very good sound.
Even vacuum gives a good resonance (alder body), and sounding really good
The sustain is pretty good, but it can probably be best to stick with guitar driver

I made the mistake of leaving the Tones at max, and I realized that for the MIC to Channel 7 / 10 including sufficient level solos on the 12th to 5/6th cord box and the mic sharp enough shiny hair aggressive.

A very good variety of sounds that can attack the jazz / blues / rock / hard rock with good power.

Mic have different personalities but rather complementary typed:

The bass mic bringing all the warmth of this release (in contrast to the 50's) with its non-blocked, and fairly detailed e Naigu still

Through the mic, I do not use it too, except in position 2 and 4 then coupled with another.

The mic stand is it bright enough and quite exuberant one can procrastinate with the Tone.

Access from the 15th box is relatively quite well, (access is common to other strata) is vra ic I have big paws, which this opinion is only my opinion!

A very good variety of sounds that can attack the jazz / blues / rock / hard rock with good power.

SOUNDS

All styles of music.

A very good variety of sounds that can attack the jazz / blues / rock / hard rock with a good power of the crystalline fatty carefree

Mic have different personalities but rather complementary typed:

The bass mic bringing all the warmth of this release with a good level of detail, however, acute

Through the mic, I do not use it too except for position 2 and 4 then paired with another.

The mic stand is it bright enough and quite exuberant one can procrastinate with the Tone.
I hesitated between CP50 and CP60's s

The sound and mic positions I use are sometimes 2/4/5 "1" rarely "3"
The mic seems to me that the middle I like the least, perhaps because the other two have a well-tempered!

Question Amp Vox AD50VT Valvetronix I had, which gave way to H & K Dual El 84 full Statesmann lamp which has further improved the quality and the subtleties of play and an increased dynamic

This guitar is limited by the elements to which they are associated and seems to have a very high potential.

My only limitation is the small middle mic alone I found a little below

OVERALL OPINION

it will be 2 years, so I've had enough practice and perspective.
She is still appropriate, even if I eyeing the side of a Les Paul, I think I will keep forever!!

I hesitated between CP50 and CP60's s


The advantage of the 50's has a more ideal type in the fast rhythmic rockabilly / reggae / funk and saturation where the addition of harmonics in the treble give a real bonus, but it wants a more focused sound less current one little rock n 'roll but probably closer to the stratum' original.

So I think the 50's is a very sensitive by its specific association with the amp and you can see some compensation for his part with the shiny side wise (neutral sound) amplifiers of the same brand.

The 60's is more universal and its scope so that make 60's guitar UNIVERSAL whether clean / crunch or saturated!

But here was a real dilemma between 50's and 60's the last 2 tests have tipped the balance of fairness to the PC 60's, I do not regret that choice at all.
My only limitation is the small middle mic alone I found a little below

The R / Q / P is simply outstanding and it is in these terms that this is an optimization components Custo mShop combined with great prices

Yes, 3 times Yes, I would definitely do it again this choice I am happy today!!
I thought that I buy a Cp 50's later, but ultimately I think a Les Paul is more complementary bcp even if the price of a version Standart / Traditionnal discourages me a little something!!

I will not mention the characteristics of the guitar ...

Then I have to say about the guitar.

ca violin sounds good good. (without being exeptionnelle)
trs good mechanical, keep it well the agreement, and the system to put the strings is really practical, I had a little trouble at first, but once you took the hand is much nicer than the standard mechanical.
vibrato truly easy to use, nothing to say on it.
the knob works well, trs active. by against the hum is a little present when I drop the volume of the guitar.

UTILIZATION

Mine is 4.4kg, after a certain time to play it starts to weigh on the shoulders, but there are much worse. and then I prefer the guitars rather heavy.

levels in the body, is bha a stratum, it is also enjoyable to play than sit debout.une password box once ca the 15th becomes a little obstacle course to play

the handle is not too late nor too broad nor too rounded nor too flat.
the key is pretty bomb, trs pleasant for my little mimine.

For the moment all the guitars I tried it on the one that I felt most at ease

SOUNDS

So I play many different styles: rock, reggae, blues, funk. crystal clear sound of a good many sharp disto.

already has empty guitar sounds good trs, ca rsons properly. sustain okay.

Once a branch is pleased total, the microphones are really superb. a well typ. prcis still sound, while having a little dirty cot, a little hoarse. Submitted prcises bass and unobtrusive, and well pronounced mids, and treble a little dry and fit in, but without being aggressive.
rsultat in clean, we obtain a pure crystalline trs's, but still a certain "thickness" (I do not know if you know what I mean), the sound is full and does not seem not skinny compared to some strat.

u NIVEX of overdrive, I think it's his favorite environment, lots of dynamics, always with that little cot dirty, but while remaining extremely prcis. (Difficult to write the sounds in words.)

for the largest saturation it works well too, but do not abuse either on the gain. the 69's custom pickups with a simple average output level.

biensur it has a trs vintage sound, the sound is not right, many personnalit.on like it or not

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for over a year and I am completely satisfied (this the first that makes me this)

I spent some time on a lot of layers, mexico, standard, classic, uS hyghway, standard, deluxe reissue. c'st vrtaiment and one I prfr with 62reissue, which I find a little above, but it's not the same price either.

I changed for some time by the 69 custom fender 57/62, for a slightly softer sound and it makes good trs. (The 69 custom pickups are exelente, but 57/62 suit me better)

I put a 10/10 this guitar, because frankly for the price I have no complaints, nothing was thrown away. good violin (sasn be exeptionnelle) trs good microphones, mechanical, and vibrato knob trs effective. and comfort perfect game for me.

I find the price quality ratio is outstanding, and I do it again this choice without hesitation. dailleurs I often want to buy me another CP60 but sunburst this time and to get new pickups, to have a Start with a sound totally different from mine.

it's a guitar that we must try, I love it and I do not think me Spar soon.

Fender Stratocaster classic player 60 ':
the guitar was designed by the custom shop
All parts are American, including the famous vintage microphones.
The assembly is made in Mexico, and varnishes used are Mexican.
Value: about 720 euros.
The assembly is well made, but mostly it emerges from this guitar has a real personality.

UTILIZATION

The handling of this guitar is very easy, it is not too heavy. The settings are very famous with conventional microphones selector 5 positions, 2 tone knobs and volume knob.

SOUNDS

I use this stratum 'in a wide variety of musical styles (blues, rock, hard, occasionally a little metal for fun). I use the small Roland Cube 30 which I modeled perfectly sound the clearest sounds the most bold and aggressive. The association "guitar and amp" is, in my opinion, a great buy (low cost: less than 1000 euros), which offers the opportunity to play on a high-quality instrument that offers remarkable versatility.
In this price range, I doubt that there is currently a guitar that is able to compete in quality and sound. This is very typical vintage, which can offend though.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had a month and I can not get enough. I hesitated between the purchase of this guitar and the Start of a 'american standard (significantly more expensive, but 100% made in United States)
I had the budget for the beautiful American, and before the comparison test, I counted myself the offer.
After the test, the stratum 'US emerges as a very good guitar, but always with his "standard", ie very happening everywhere. The classic player has a very captivating personality, in terms of appearance and sound.
Simply put, I swallowed my reluctance over Mexican guitars (I must admit that there have been very few boards insipid)
I always fed the dream of one day acquiring a strat 'Us, but I feel it takes out a bunch of dollars (USD) for a high quality instrument.
Maybe Eric Johnson model, or Rory Gallagher, plus the amp that is the height of the instrument .... Aie aie aie j'me doing wrong here ....

- Fender Made In Mexico (model "designed custom shop")
- 21 frets, 3 Custom Shop pickups simple (model 69)
- Vibrato vintage
- A volume knob and 2 tone, 5 position selector for the pickups
- Bolt in C

UTILIZATION

- A very enjoyable round for both the quiet game for the solos
- Access to acute simple
- Excellent ergonomics, fairly light guitar, stratocaster and forms ... No need to comment on that point
- Sound great considering the price of the beautiful, we find very easily exploitable sound, each position providing a clean sound that will be chosen depending on the style of music.

SOUNDS

- It suits my style of music, plus typed Jimi Hendrix, Red Hot, but also play solos with it makes very good (not intended for it at the base, but the handle is really great ...)
- I play with a Marshall 30DFX, and although it is not a beast of war, it makes all the same though.
- Depending on settings, moving from one well to round neck pickup sounds very slamming in the bridge position, and in intermediate positions, it is still different, but each position has its own personality, which can be still change by adjusting the knobs.

OVERALL OPINION

- I use it for 3 weeks
- What I love most: the handle and microphones
- The small downside: a little strange noise I made disappear with a friend after adjustment, a small detail, but it bothered me.
- Start I tried a few before buying it, and honestly, I preferred to a US Standard.
- The price / quality ratio is just excellent!

Sunburst finish

UTILIZATION

The handle is very nice ... its C-shape and varnish really makes the game! and the radius, especially, provides a real comfort for the game "thumb over" for the bends and vibrates to the notes ...

the last high notes are available after all ... be sought but still!

the contour of the body of the guitar has been "softened" compared to a "standard" for example.
the guitar seems more comfortable ...

Sound: I was looking for the sound of SRV. and that makes ...

I just had to change the spring tension of the vibrato, which I found too high ... I rule parallel to the table of the guitar. So I had a lower action (it was not a luxury ...) and a response of more controllable vibrato.

amended 02/2010: Over time I think the frets a little abrasive at first ... the Demanche are a little painful! but ... Just slow down!

SOUNDS

I play mainly blues rock ...
So yes, this guitar suits me perfectly!
Good Start, an amp and a tube screamer lamp ... Trio is a well known and recognizable from the first notes ...

clean sounds are great, the crunch IDeMS ...

The microphone is fantastic grave ... (others too but I use less!)

The pots are really responsive and usable for all shades.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had 15 days.
I did not like the factory settings (action and vibrato) but now that it was done, I was really struggling to find fault ... go, a light breeze can be ...
For cons, I find it difficult to switch to another guitar after playing it ... because I think the radius. May be others feel the same??
ADAPTT say that is not without "fault"!

I had a Mex "standard", sold today, that does not support the comparison ...

I do it again this election, yes, without hesitation. I'm hooked.

For the record, I had gone to buy a US standard or if a highway ... and I came back with this one! And for the price of the American, I could also take over the classic 50 ... which is not bad either!

If you want the sound of '60 Stratocaster (SRV - Hendrix ...)

Mexico, but designed by luthiers of Fender Custom Shop, as marked on the heel plate of the handle "custom shop design"
Start a c standard, nothing to report, 21 boxes, 3 pickups, 5-way switch
one prank: the handle. radius 12 ", rather unusual in modern strat uen, masi extremely comfortable.
mine has a fairly thick neck, in profile C, which suggests a masi a SRV signature. so there is more mass of wood on the handle, which makes it sound quite specific, heavier, very punchy in the bass.

UTILIZATION

The neck is super playable
width at nut is slightly larger than a std c and much better for some chords and phrasing, it was the place.
sharp, well c as a strat std ... Jimi was wondering ... lol
ergonomics, this model proved
the sound is very easy to adjust, no need to hack, c instinctive and a simple machine, the sound is in the design, not hidden in the knobs ...

SOUNDS

Death!
I play SRV, JIMI's go listen:

for the red hot or anything, really excellent c, the scratches can do everything
I play a Fender and Carvin, and a lot of pedals, including an original TS9 of E82 and c typically the
I love all positions, they all sound, you can use all the play

OVERALL OPINION

I have 2 years
my second stratum, the best date and Others
yes, I tested a lot of models for its price, is no better, the ratio Q / PO ets excellent for those who want a vintage sound budget.

Start Made in Mexico in 2009 bought the same year in version 3 tone sunburst

- Body 2-piece alder beautiful sunburst finish,
- Tremolo has two anchor points as the US Start with vintage bridge,
- C maple neck with rosewood fingerboard

Micro Flatwound 69 'singlecoil good quality slecteur 5 positions, 1 volume and 2 CTS CTS DTMF

Pais and high-gloss finish on any guitar, is more compared to US

UTILIZATION

The handle is enjoyable trs, trs fluid but my taste a bit flat. The game is easy

The guitar is not equilibrated heavy (not like the Les Paul) is a stratum.

Cot's, there is a severe lack of punch / output gain, I saw that my three micro taient all polaris South, or lack of gain, because the micro environment must have a reversed polarity To create an effect hambucker.

The sound remains as trs same clean, but lacking in characters, or some of the versatility of this guitar.

SOUNDS

Guitar sounds fairly versatile but lack of characters, with an output level trs not important, lack of punch

with rglages on offer you a wide range of sounds available

Micro Bridge may be deaf, grsillard in gnral,

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 1year 1 / 2, I waited to post this time limit to have an opinion as objective as possible.

In my case, I am pleased (more than my jazz bass US) pay the price because the quality is superb, of course, if you choose this MODEL, it is a little more hp re than others, but worth the cost.

Take the time to choose it as a business can be a real

*** Overall, it's a good investment for a trs confirm beginners ***

and if in time you change your opinion, try to replace your pickups custom shop for us, is it will make you a guitar trs good quality compared to uses and not for CHRE.

In addition, US MODELS standards are not as good finish as the Mexican.

It's rare, but for once I was not much blame the guitar (at least mine)

This guitar is a sweet looking guitar. The vintage parts that dress the front look spectacular! The vintage pick guard and tuners are a nice touch to this guitar. The only problem is that its made in Mexico. So the build quality it going to be not quiet as good as the US made. Either way it will be cheaper in price and the look is really what separates this guitar from the others.

I am a fan of the relic vintage look on guitars. Though this one is not relic-ed it does have a certain swagger that gives it a nice appeal to a lot of people. I think you can overlook the place it was built for the shear appeal of the this guitar's cosmetics.

SOUNDS

This guitar sound pretty good in most music styles. You won't get this guitar to sound good in any lower than a whole step down. Anyone who plays lower tuner guitars already knows this. I would however replace the pickups in this guitars. These Fender pickups are just garbage and not one of Fender's strong suits. I would probably replace these with some seymour duncan's or Lindy Fralin's.

This guitar sounds great with a solid Fender amp. You get a good combination with the this setup. I know these guitars are tuned to their amps and visa versa so it is natural that hooking up a nice Fender Twin Reverb would sound very pleasant.

OVERALL OPINION

At new these guitars come in at around $799, which isn't a bad price for a col looking guitar. If you can get over the feel of a Mexican made guitar than you will get along with this unit.

I would recommend this guitar to anyone who doesn't care where their Fender is made or the feel so much and likes the cosmetics of the guitar. You will need to switch out the pickups to you'll have to tack on about $150+ which brings it up to American made Fender Stratocasters.

See description features in other reviews

UTILIZATION

The handle is quite nice enough end for big fingers like mine, perhaps less suited to shredders "hard" while playing speed where there is no doubt handle profiles and frets "No jumbo" more suited

The ergonomic contour profile of the body in very good typical strat '

Access to acute not too bad (it is an absolute dream of a neck-through without a heel, but we made it with no worries!

For the neck pickup sounds postions 4 / 5 are pretty hot and a little less consistent rendering beyond the 12th box

The "3" position is a position I rarely used

Mic positions "easels" 1 & 2 above 2 is my favorite position 1 is really a bit too sharp and aggressive they can nevertheless rebalance the tone and temper in 4 / 5 but can be fully complementary with amp sound rather dark you lque the AC15.

Overall we get easily a good sound, after all depends on the amp for guitar but midrange R / Q / P is very very good and there is no shortage and no one is frustrated by anything musically Everything is terribly consistent in this stratum, which is probably one of the most successful in any case much better in performance / sound / price a standart Us Start!!

SOUNDS

The sound of strata is truly universal sound of Dire Straits, Deep Purple Santana and Metallica (helped indeed with good lab pallet of tone too), but in terms of simple guitar she bends to forestall the requirements and is EXTREMELY versatile. O narrive mic bridge in position 4 & 5 to be a fat with no problems and sounds crystalline 1 / 2 or 3 mic neck / mid

I played on a H & K Dual Dual Statesmann El loop 84 in combination with a Tonelab LE.

Despite the fact that this is 6 months that I have the LE, I have not touched forestall the purposes provided for therein, each in his ear and it sounds so it focuses first and foremost a question of taste & color but the sound AC30 Tb or tweed are my favorites with Chrous gilmour way delay or wha wha idsto Santana are the ones I found the best.

OVERALL OPINION

It has been nearly two years that I have, I also eyeing on a Les Paul Standart or traditional but additionally, because I feel confident that I will keep it unless I invariably find a strat even more magical in the future! !

Curiously too, finally had a reply Start a copy of twenty years ago with a handle or condsuteur tranvesant heelless what, if not the series of CP60's came out when I buy a guitar is devaya i was focused enough to 90% on a Start with Custom Shop elements at a price that went well with my budget around and the choice was made quickly!

I like mostly everything, perhaps a bit of breath and / or parasites are less welcome.
R / Q / P Gibson phenomenal and even with these models is far fared well in manufacturing too!

Yes, I absolutely do it again without question this choice and has no other credible alternatives in the budget within the limit of 1500 € above should even matter.

Fender Stratocaster classic player 60's ... I think all the components are American, except the varnish, and that the whole is assembled in Mexico.
The bridge is 2 screws. (I know absolutely that it changes ...)
The handle is quite round, very good polish, very sweet and very comfortable, it seems to return to his old slippers, that makes him ...
21 frets Jambo
SETTINGS traditional strat
The guitar itself is very nice to have squatted my store for a few years and tried a few signatures jeff beck or standardized us, the finish is really good, Mexicans prove they can do as good a job as Americans.
The varnish is very nice, the paint (or sonic sunburst) is nickel and hook eye.
Over the guitar has a good personality, good side vintage ...
The set is really good, I do not see what's missing ...

UTILIZATION

The guitar is really comfortable, I confim previous opinions, or was said.
Weight and normal, albeit a little heavier than average I think, but it does. Access to acute is average too, as on a normal strat ...
I will remove a small dot to the factory settings, ie too much floating vibrato and action too high

SOUNDS

This guitar is a real cream
It offers a wide range of sound, depending on the attack (rather than reactive) and settings ... sound very warm and serious lowering his tone, mids on the amp with a crunch, casseroles funky clean sound, a screaming solo with a wah and the gain on 9, a reggae rhythm, arpeggios clear ...
I play a lot of Jimi and I have no problem its sound. (Her?) I also SRV sound, but all those I cited above: A nice little adjustment, and the guitar sounds.
It has a good dynamic, sounds neat, precise remaining in the strategic areas. I also like her little vintage side which gives it its personality ...
One of the best strategies I've tried with the reissue 62
