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 ....

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.

Published on 07/02/11 at 11:32This 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 less00 - ricoutePublished on 11/24/09 at 13:07 (This content has been automatically translated from French)See description features in other reviews

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

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.See less00 - †léo†Published on 02/08/10 at 02:41 (This content has been automatically translated from French)Fender Stratocaster classic player 60's ...

Well I must say that I would not change my amp settings and it is those for Gibson, so I think it should be normal.
For cons, I have a Tonelab on which I play all the time and there is top right. Happiness. I expected to have sound a little more "flutes" with the neck pickup, then a bit more "character" but what it will. Positions 2 & 4 are fine for the funky style. And with different distos, crunches, saturations offered on the Tonelab, it manages to have a great sound even with the bridge pickup!?
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for 3 weeks, so I not a huge setback. That said I am very happy, that was a while since I wanted to pay me a Start '(I had owned a Start + there 20 years ago and I had exchanged a cons because I Lag 'were a truffle and the strat + was still the high end of the day). Today I am still a bit of a truffle, but still less.
So here today I have a Start 'which is fine. The color is great, that's exactly what I was looking (blue shit), I'd seen one like that for the Band Aid '84, I think it was the guitarist for Bowie, who had this stratum ', but ... passque not too sure it's been a long time anyway.
Used around 400-500th, it does it well.
Frankly I do not know if it's worth it to have one U.S. because it works great, she is very well finished and the color is to die for (when you see the colors offered nazes Fender for U.S. standards, we request ...). It's true that the benchmarks in the key plastoc are a little cheap, but I do not want a guitar to show off and they go well in the general shape of the guitar. I was a little skeptical because I tried a Mexican Fender bass, I was somewhat disappointed by the sound. Here I did not try before you buy and I must say I am very positively surprised.

In this connection attention to bends in the latest high notes, again because of the radius that touches the frets, but no real major embarrassment.
SOUNDS
I'll just tell my encounter with this instrument. One fine morning I'm looking for an instrument with the intention to go buy a Start. I had the budget for a highway, which monopolized my attention. Choose a stratum is the result of a long process of fitting, there can there be much difference from one to another. I wanted an American. And then I came across this mex "Custom Shop Designed" and there he no longer had any doubt! the highway are super cheap next to the Mexican. This guitar has a soul, she sings, she has a trick. The sounds are well marked, well-neck micro round and velvety, a middle and a bridge slammed super loud. Besides about this micro bridge, I did not like at first, being transcandé by two other microphones. But in the end it sounds slightly overdrive the fire god!! My little advice, the plugguez in a vox AC30 is really something!
OVERALL OPINION
Taking into account that this is a Mexican, there is something to be glowing. While it costs a tad more expensive than a normal Mex, but it is much better than the highway or certain standards. As I said we must try. It has been nearly four years that I have, and I did not even want to change to an American. (Good if I had the budget I would go see the side TFW reprints or custom shop ^ ^).
What I like most is of course the sound. Good to Start, with all that that implies.
Without wishing to troll or anything, I heard that this model was destined to become one of Mexico's claim.
Anyway, so today I had to get a Start with less than 1200 euros, well I'd take this one. In addition it is worth between 600 and

SOUNDS
SAR, the sounds I agree or I would not have bought a stratum, it is my crneau blues, rock, funk, jazz cool to have is the foot.
with rglages on offer you a wide palette of available sounds
The only sounds that I do not like this position with the neck pickup Tone has closed gives you a solid sound that is not pleasant, but the other positions, it is a r scabies, you have all the character of the beast that you transcend.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for over a year, I waited this Time required for posting a notice to be as objective as possible.
In my case, I am very happy (although more than my Jazz bass U.S.) pay for the price because the quality is superb, of course, if you choose this model, there is a CHRE little more than others, but worth the cost.
a board, try to take natural or sunburst version, while the brief is to ascertain the quality of wood (in my case, the body is alder in 2 parts which is not necessarly the case on MODEL painted matte finish)
but overall, it's a very good investment in time and if you change your opinion, go for the replacement of your microphone for custom shop us, is that you will make a very good guitar quality relative to us and for not CHRE.
In addition, the modles U.S. standards are not as good finish as the Mexican.
It's rare, but for once I was not much blame this guitar (at least mine)See less00 - Ptosh

SOUNDS
Ideal guitar for blues, vintage rock, reggae
the sound is very distinctive "old strat.
very good answer to the effects while remaining in vintage sonnortités
three microphones sound very diiron and flute (the bridge pickup seems lower quality) and intermediate positions give a very warm and crystalline sound.
love this guitar crunch when it is really in the blues rock that is Alais.
OVERALL OPINION
I play for 6 months
the price difference between this model and a model Mex. standard is not very important, yet the difference in quality is like no problem importante.elle comparison with the Start U.S. first prize in terms of quality and finish. cepeda we can not in any way compared to a "standard" us or Mex. It's a guitar in his typical, less polyvalant that "a" standard "less accurate than a" deluxe ". Is clearly made to evolve in style" in encien.
What is your opinion about the value for the price? Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ...
... And if I was rich I pairi drectement genuine skyscraper of the 60 or ressiu .... but I am not rich and therefore it is the best choice for his "old strat" and a quality guitar.

put my grain of salt because I'm pretty disappointed with the violin of this guitar.
Some clarification: I bought it for € 350 OCCAZ, which is quite correct for this guitar. The new price of 700 € is a bit abused for the quality of the violin.

Until now I was playing on Ibanez (including an Ibanez Prestige RGA-VLF that cost me € 650 brand new violin and whose quality is much better).
So here are all first flaws (It's my opinion, some may be characterized by other qualities):
- Mechanical vintage super painful. I can not hit the chopper to bring the strings without too much hassle.
- It is necessary to unscrew the handle in order to adjust the truss rod ...
- Besides, it will probably stick to the same address if your vendor has not done.
- It will also check the saddle, mine is too low.
- The bridges have been installed in the disorder, with those with long screws on the low E string and, what good taste you scratch your hand if you have not paid attention before leading palm mute. With shorter screws up, this problem is less ...
- The screw fixing the vibrato at the high E string is too close to the bridge of the same string and can come to hang it in a setting intonation.
- The result is a deplorable action and playability quite limited if you paid a high price for this guitar. If not considering the price that I paid for it bother me more than that actually ...
Neutral points:
- It is worthwhile to repeat the electronic mass star and a shield of the cavity to remove unwanted noise.
- Unidentified cause a tremendous amount of buggery high E string which I dare not even get on stage so it's reliable. My luthier says it's the bridge that we must file a little, and being shot with a mechanical vintage is not for nothing either.
- The junction is a good body handle large cube uncomfortable and awkward for access to acute. But Fender is good, it's like this ...
Strengths:
- Well, despite all that I have too many problems with the tremolo tuning does not move when I buggers around with.
SOUNDS
No problem on that side: it sounds Fender 60's as it should. Ca blues, funk and it rock it (dirty) to death according to your settings for saturation. In the register was Hendrix on the neck position, the position Knopfler neck / middle, roasters funk of Tower of Power or the sound of Wayne Krantz position middle / vibrato, a little Pink Floyd in all positions etc. .. .
All positions have their (very strong) personality, and ultimately that's why we love him and we care for all its faults.
Obviously the big problem is that the microphones simple, it does not make high output level, and when you plug this guitar into your amp set to eat big humbucker in the teeth, and although there is more person and it takes up all your winnings / volume ...
OVERALL OPINION
So I use it for 6 months I think. Up here I was playing on an Ibanez saber, an Ibanez RGA and an old Aria.
Its level is that this guitar has the most personality (And yet the RGA with a good pair of microphone is not far behind). Level violin is one which is worse ...
You'll understand: my opinion the value of nine prices is not worth the shot too. But OCCAZ and in good condition it does.See less910
