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 ...)
