peenduitre « it has everything great! »
Published on 04/04/14 at 06:59A 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
