Published on 07/31/13 at 11:31We 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 '
