All user reviews for the Fender Classic '50s Stratocaster

Fender StratCaster frabrique in Mexico, 21 fret maple neck and very rounded end (apart must be put "" "sticky varnish) and the strings that I think really take away from the handle hummmm bizar printing, there are at least 5 good millimeter between them, alder body, lacquer very very "sucker", 3 single coil pickup, pottards 3: 1 volume and 2 severe acute Tone, Color surf green belllllllllle too, all made of violin ... .. toy u can say it, but it wanted to "tradition of the 50s."

UTILIZATION

So start by the handle, for comparison before a Whale j'tais wh-st, then pass the handle off the handle round and flat and thin and short given the number of band ca do something! jadore this round, but the problem is the varnish ultra vacuum but hope that it fades with time ARFF .... and also the strings are space as I have to point out earlier, it is rather odd, it is really appyu on the strings to fill the 5 mm (at the beginning jai dailleurs a nail that has literally jump because of its attacks by causing weight ....), if: it floats in the air lol is lightweight and can say it all very well balanced!! Disagree and it almost never does, even in light of the barbaric attack

SOUNDS

Then, the sound is rather beautiful, do not you wary of the simple micro .... micro center fills two in fact, the grave would be extremely warm and soft, ideal for blues rock and jazz melodies, micro acute shortage of fishing for my taste, it's for her that she is at home for my lutherier change to an acute and Rio Grande in what else .... ^ ^ pray, but he would agree to the original post rock soft rock pop, punk nespere not make another and not worth missing daigu and fishing. The sound is very crystal clear and distortion is that of happiness ^ ^ I put 9 / 10, Pacek the "perfect" nalready not, apart from me ...

OVERALL OPINION

I had a week in hand to be honest, I got a 600 euro in a magazine for scratches nogent 94, it seems that this little guitar shop is one of the best known of europe .. .. humm sceptque finally good. C e Jaime in the scratches, the handle end, short and rounded apart the two flaws that are Lecart varnish and string-set.
I had my whale wh-st, but was faster than I move on let's say lol, I hesitated a long time with a Les Paul, jlai are beautiful ... but my heart was right to me and opt for a fender, particularly jai took this color becaufe chui amoureu of Billie Joe's guitar is none other than the lead singer of green day ... quality mail order prices bha I find myself but it's true that compared to other skyscrapers are in. foto!
I would do if this choice?? Hummmm no doubt that ho ho!!

In which country was it made?
Manufacturing mexiquaine of very good quality violin much better than the vintage model 57 ...

How many frets, what kind of micro as well as their configuration?
21 frets exploitable you feel really at ease handling strat requires extra

What type of bridge?
Bridge Start with the classic vibrato tit

What type of race?
Channel U super super nice better than the 60 in my opinion ... is a try

UTILIZATION

Then I took my slap uh how to say?? euhhh vui b'en a lap at the Duchess is a treat stick is truly the best race I could keep up today.
We walk on the handle like a highway (not for shredders), but this handle is a real handle on strat n'peux no more at ease
The guitar is very well balanced with no leaning strap.
The sound is just terrible

SOUNDS

A yeah that's what type of stratum I have been waiting to tell you my lontemps strato 62 to € 2,000 sleep in my closet ... it's still telling you.
I played on a super good marhsall DSL401 plain ... I changed for the wonderful Blues Junior 15W All Tube the recess is the slap!
It gets all the sounds of the classic Start ... just listen the sound's Matthieu Chedid (-M-) b'en the melody in my it's the same in his legerment crunch his grave the fact we can easily having the sound of SRV with all the slamming of the stratum is a jewelry

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two years now is really the guitar that I had to like what we should not always be ruined for the class and a nice guitar ... I find the classic series Mex franchment try anything extra before you ruined a vintage american model (made in Japan and more ...)
The value for money and very affordable really is the opportunity of the century
For anything I would not trade this guitar for my not even Ricken 330

I do not return it, the WhatRat explained very well.
I also have 2 color sunburst model, so the body is alder (3 parts)
I never touched the 57 reissue, but it looks a lot like him!

UTILIZATION

I tried the 60's and 50's the following: 2 seconds in the 50's I decided irrevocably!
The one piece maple neck and slight V-gloss I conquered. decidedly, I'm really a fan of the comfort of maple keys. Well, for the varnish is not nitrocellulo, but suddenly, it has the advantage of not sticking to fingers too (try a 52 tele, you will understand ...).
the rest (access to acute, ergonomics ,...) is the standard in standard, everything comes naturally under the fingers, except the vibrato, but that's because I still do not know how m ' use it ...
as to his, well, just plug in and it sounds stratum in the purest tradition.
one small problem though: the mechanical and vintage vibrato, it helps not require the agreement ... but look good for the c, o)

SOUNDS

I was looking for a strat long time, I tried one qques (fender us, including G & L Tribute), and Ben is the one who won it: a scratch I think this has nothing to envy to its large US sisters, we have the Start sound, chattering as they like.

If you like the sound / light crunch to Gilmour, Knopfler, Clapton, Robert Cray and others, try, you m'endirez news! and no need to add tons of pedals, live in a good tube amp, and it is happiness!

on the other hand, if you search for the big sound, go your way, or change the pickups (the violin is really excellent), because the output level and sound of the original microphones do not mix with the saturax.

OVERALL OPINION

It is only 15 days I have, so I will update this notice once the euphoria of the early past. but for now, and compared to my other guitars sometimes 3 or 4 times as expensive (see my profile), well it is really the way!

I love the most: the sound strat par excellence!
what I like least: the holding of agreement (not being a simple adjustment ...)

other models tested: standard and deluxe strat US, G & L Tribute (I carefully avoided the stratum clapton, because I know I would have cracked, even if not compatible with a smile on my banker ...)

Exceptional value for money: bought from thomann for 550 euros!

again this choice? no doubt about it!

It is a stratum in the purest tradition, o its name from classic.
Channel V profile, a pice in stocky, with a glossy varnish.
The three simple vintage microphones, have aged and yellowed covers (or hallyday joplin!)
The colors are gorgeous kitsch (because it is kitsch?).
Mine is green cadillac finally surf green if you prfrez.

UTILIZATION

The neck is amazing! To be honest, I bought it for a, it offers comfort and a game worthy of its slamming major stratum.
The guitar is lgre and we obtain immediately a good sound, without artifice or effect. The clean is a rgal, the bluesy crunch too.
Note a string of remoteness from the sleeves of the treble, which requires a small adjustment

SOUNDS

I use it on a Vox AD15 VT, which provides for ppites modlisation, so that it goes well almost everywhere.
However, it is not exemplary in the field of versatility, you'll always sound strat trs. IDAL is for blues, old rock (Cream, Hendrix, Pink Floyd, SRV), but do not play with Satriani.

Positions 2, 4 and 5 are my prfres, but nothing is stabilized I did that for several days.
I put 9, for the lack of versatility, but also the price to pay when seeking a real Start.

OVERALL OPINION

I bought one made in US highway of good quality, I just customize and says a luthier for rglages optimum.
I did not blame the highway, although suprieur what can be said, but after six months, I had one wish c'tait to go further in mind Fender, and change in favor of the 50 classic has become one obviousness.
From the mouths of several people (sellers, makers and users), the classic 50 Exceeds some amricaines.
I am now convinced, and we must go to the del 'made in', but be aware that we seek when we acquired it because it is kind.
Given that I play, and complment my les paul std ft, it is perfect and I put 10.

Stratum 50 classic, made in Mexico, round stocky, 21 boxes, blah, etc ... I will not repeat what everyone says adj.
My purpose is not to rlement to comment more on this MODEL, but to share a personal exprience.
It is not my habit, but buying a classic 50 I wanted a good MODEL RALIS without blowing the budget and close to (slightly) origins. I simply changed the pickups and replaced by "Custom Shop Texas spcial" and I used to rewired the entire guitar with the Fender vintage cable (gain textile). This for the whole circuit in the same cable that comes out of microphones. The selector and are those potentiomtres Submitted origin. Once my evolution ends (an hour and a half of work), I plug into my bassman 59 (I know so well with my strat ammerican deluxe) ... And I stay glued face to the result, it has so many more characters and grain, not before (I do not even speak), but my American deluxe. This "small" Classic 50 to win the heat without losing dtail, has more bass and treble time. Not to mention the dynamics. Here I am in the realm of sounds of Stevie Ray Vaughan and Mark Knofler. It bleuffant! In short this is to say that the potential of the guitar MRIT my opinion much more than the original pickups (rack mount plastic) and low-end cable it uses.

UTILIZATION

Hon Trs

SOUNDS

All blues, jou a fender bassman 59. I'm not a fanatic of his hyper-acute. The change in pickups for Texas gives a full body with a beautiful grain. A Russianness. CONTRL great overdrive.

OVERALL OPINION

The potential of the guitar as an instrument far Exceeds the quality of micro and Cables mountains behind. This guitar can let himself go to other expriences sound.

Idem further notice

UTILIZATION

The handle Soft V is really the type of round that I can be and prfre dplacer along the handle with ease with its varnished ... Really great ..
Access in acute normal (well, what is a strat ...)...
The violin is really excellent quality even say no it's worth a largely US or better, and this perfectly well j'adhre ide ... not a default, not a quail painting, not a small bump cache ... short but good ...

SOUNDS

I play blues rock like floyd, shadows, we say so, it is a replica of the 50 I need .... BUT ... sound even when microphones are fairly limited, lacking in the lower chest, no finesse in the treble, in short, change of emergency ... what I did ...
So I mount the fender 57/62, and my good lady ...!!! Ben has changed everything! all that was missing with the original pickups suddenly appear in the bottom of my ears ... the trunk in the bass, treble and end well Submitted medium and well pronounced in short, the true sound of a typical strat ... no doubt, he had to change all a. ..

I also tried with EMG DG20 Gilmour plate, well, you know, I felt that David Tait in me ... Digitech RP350 on the branch with the emulation and simulation Dynacomp HIWATT I sound you can hear on Shine on you crazy diamond version Pulse ...

So I put a note just because of this infrieure ngatif microphones ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for almost a year, and I would not change it for anything else, I am even tempted to take a second (in black) for two tones diffrent ...

Recommended for anyone who wants to be a legendary and versatile instrument in the hands ... Vive Fender and sries Classic ....

See data sheet, advice and above.

UTILIZATION

It's a Start with all that it behaves like CHARACTERISTICS, quality, but also default, which, can we be honest ... ... confrent an instrument certain charm deprecated.

SOUNDS

Its typical blues "roots". No effect. Live in the amp, and magic!
Clear sound on all three positions (1, 3, 5) is absolutely mesmerizing!

OVERALL OPINION

So that's the big question! How long? It is an instrument that I bought there over a year, to complete my collection. I do not shut up never used, until the week goes! I still used my Start in frne, Custom54 team of 'all lights on my 50Watts. Then I decided this instrument out of its torpor, believing me to find some sort of face espce mxicaine of standard microphones with shit, a violin approximate and finishes mdiocres. The guitar is pretty lgre, it's a little gadget ... The plate is curled up, the knobs are loose, the paint appears thin and fragile, and varnish the handle is a bit sticky. In short, I have a lot of this instrument priori bought only "for show" among the others (Flying V 69, SG93, dobro, Les Paul, Start and my honey blonde CHRI, with which I play , all the same). I do know is hontuex, but what do you want, I ftichiste and my psychothrapie is still not finished ... ouarf ouarf!
Finally, I therefore take this "thing" blue hand, a lgre ddain pout face, and I branch, some rglages, like race - a little concave, bridges, harmonics, height microphones, as long as the amp heats ... Voil Instrument rgl amp hot, there's more than that! And l. .. Fucking crying out loud! This skyscraper is magic! She has the fire! Fire! With capital letters and everything ... My rglages? All the knobs of legalization in the middle, neutral position, no gain, a bit of reverb (that of the amp), no effects or other multi pdalier. Really, this instrument is magical: The sound of the great years is the the feeling, the mind is the Panard! A force play, the varnish of the handle lgrement heating, and becomes soft, it's exploded! At this price, I tell everyone: Do not hesitate, if you like blues, rock limits the beginners, this is a must.
I think my thrapie is nearing completion ...

I come back a year and a half later ... I always Classic'50 (ct is me, the small CHRI). Sparer impossible for me! I shut that off with a priori, had bought in 2005 without use it for a year ... Now, no question of playing on something else! I have however made some changes to facilitate the daily use: the plate first. The original one ply corrugated too, floating above the pickups, so I opted to replace it with a 3-ply Mint Green. The spirit remains, the look seems to be more successful. Then I also remplacles knobs by US Mexican, finest, both in handling and in the rglages ... More prcis. I added two vibrato springs from three five springs, for better holding of the agreement. Unlike what I read on the issue, the problem of accuracy of this instrument is not related to the same mcaniques in them, but rather the rigidity of the vibrato, and Manir to fix the ropes on mcaniques. This rgl I can torment the vibrato of my fill, nothing happens! And end of the end, I replaced the pickups by: Custom'54 a neck and bridge position, a Texas Special Middle position. Cot of the instrument 600. Cot plate and knobs: 50. Cot of microphones OCCAZ ': 150 with the port ... The springs, 1.50 pice. For 800, you end up with an instrument qualmits exceptional. Friends who play on US MODELS signatures are expensive really surprised by this little sister, who really just a large. The violin has not changed one bit, the frets are quality (I play every day, and wear is less important in particular, as some Asian sries alloys trsmdiocres ). This scratching pte! Both visually and acoustically to. The handle is a comfort, and many bends in the same rgl del 15me of the box are possible - in fact I do not deny. Allie my old 50 watt lamps, and my TS808, the effect is formidable. I do not put as 10, no 11!

The guitar was made in Mexico.
is a replica of the 57 reissue.

handle without key raportée maple. body in one part of my model, the color sunburst allows the checking, the finish is flawless!

sheet for the better now is to have a look at the site builder.

UTILIZATION

I love this race, it helps to have very clear defined sound. the handle is very comfortable rather large, in terms of access to acute is a Start ...
the finish of the body is impeccable, even within. I have noticed since I changed the shield, for a three-layer plate and microwave for three custom shop 54.
And the slap, I have here the stratum, all positions are usable with a warmth and a grain, the volume and pitch are progressive and can really élargire the sonic palette.

SOUNDS

First position (neck pickup), the sound is full and defined with very great serious, position two, the sound is Christalin (for a wonder arpeggios) are the three position has more than medium, but it is very warm, position four, another for his chritalin funk, small casseroles or rithmiques ..., position five. is the least successful in my taste in terms of using its clear, but it ensures saturated!

OVERALL OPINION

I have owned for many years a 57 reissue US, I was sold a time when I was playing more acoustic music. Guitar very endearing, I wanted to find a style but for a budget "reasonable" and well honestly, I will not say that 50 is the classic 57 reissue, it's over, I do not regret my old American who had much less grain and sustain my little Mexican! and the one I keep!

Everything is said ...

UTILIZATION

The handle is it fun?
Sensational for my small hands.

Access to acute (recent freight) is it easy?
It's a fender ...

Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)?
Correct weight, good balance, the shape is very ergonomic.

Do you get a good sound easy?
Yes with the original pickups but can do better, be said at this price it can not have everything a great ... The microphone base is not really acceptable but tops. We say that it is honorable.

I mounted the Fender 57/62 Vintage and there ... Vindiou the beautiful church! It sounds, it's round, it's hot. One can obtain various sounds but never leaves indifferent. This is the first time I change the pickups on the original one of my guitars, well, I regret it.
With these pickups, I think, it has little to envy the US version. I invite you to do the same.

SOUNDS

They agree with your style of music?
Ba vi, otherwise I would have bought something else ... What a question!
Style: Beatles, Pink Floyd, Blues, Rock ...

With what (s) amplifier (s) or effect (s) do you play?
I play on Fender Hot Rod Deluxe. Foot! In effect: Blues Driver, Compression, Chorus, Digital Delay and Reverb. What a sound!

What kind of sound you get and with what settings ("crystalline", "bold ",....)?
Clearly this lens in crunch ... that's where I'm having as a kid.

OVERALL OPINION

How long have you use it?
I've had a short week, and it never leaves my hands. Start the USD is on the shelf for a while.

What is so special that you like most and least?
+: Color but also its handle!
-: The original pickups ...

Have you tried many other models before buying it?
Vi! It is not my only guitar since I have 8 in all price ranges in wide enough.

How would you rate the quality / price?
Unbeatable Fender (489 € chez Thomann!)

With experience, you do again this choice?
A yes and definitely is a killer this skyscraper, I younger than 20 years (at least)!

Mine came set great, no buzz. Top! I can only commit yourself to at least try it.

.

.

UTILIZATION

The handle is all that makes the value of this model. It is historic, beautiful, soft, silky, well done, easy!

the guitar is light, the ergonomics, it's a standard!

The vibrato and mechanical are completely correct for the style of use allowed!
.

SOUNDS

No way suited to my style of music ... METAAAALLLLLL ! ! ! But that is not his calling! This is the guitar of Shadows, the Rock'n Roll, ballads.

Tested on a Marshall Lead 150, it excels at clean sounds. The sound achieved by the arrangement of three microphones is consistent with what we can expect. Low, mid, Treble! Quality is at the appointment, it is hot, slap it, it's brilliant, crystalline, and all very clean! Sound wickedly vintage (Buddy Holly, Buddy Guy, Eric Clapton)!

Addition 09/09/11: After 3 months of use, it is clear that the simple side bridge does not break bricks, any sound to say the "ugly"! But against the other two: a pure delight even better than my Telecaster made in United States! Straw!
))

In distortion is not really that according to my purely metallic. But it can do (and quite well) for how the Blues Buddy Guy and Eric Clapton (as against that snoring is bad if not in contact with the strings!).
That said, nothing replaces the distortion humbuckers, dual coils that have made a much more emotional and who have no fault "hum" inherent in single coils.
.


OVERALL OPINION

After 3 months of daily use, a marvel question its absolutely amazing (except for that of the bridge) and reliable!
I love it! ! !
Bought second hand but as new € 365 (€ 400 for) after negotiation, I think it's not a bad deal considering the quality of its finish, comfort and beauty of the handle, the sound of its microphones its authentic side (although made in Mexico).

Designed in the '50s (when the so-called popular music dominated by the Jazz turned into Rock'n Roll), it is in fact totally unsuitable for my style of music. It was not until the 70's and the changes it will undergo changes for the instrument and find a more compliant with the birth of the Metal initiated by guitarists such as Jimi Hendrix and Ritchie Blackmoore and transcended by Yngwie Malmsteen, before n 'marks appear dedicated, inspiring them (Jackson Charvel, Kramer, ESP and BC Rich), which will delight its supremacy in this field.

To conclude, it is a guitar curiosity. Far from the current standards in terms of technology (ancient) and sound (not an ounce of versatility), very typical of an era of music, however it has a charm, the charm of retro items, antiques!

So it will join my TELECASTER Anniversary to play anything else than metal or, in perspective, not much for now ...
Will still be nice to him and continue to fascinate me and charm me ...
: ((

- My story: Preview in my thrift store Saturday, 18/06/11 at the bottom of my street, it was purchased by pure chance. With no specific need (having everything I need to satisfy my passion) is first the logo and model FENDER Strato who have questioned. Exposed next to a Lite Ash was retro modern side by side.
Having owned one of the 60 TELECASTER the handle similar to the finish, varnished blond / honey, but have never owned a STARTOCASTER, the temptation to solve this sacrilege emerged immediately. Not very sensitive to large heads of the 70 (Hendrix, Blackmoore), both carried the ideal design for my taste!

After testing, so I looked for the Classic 50 for the reasons mentioned above.

Returning to the store on Monday to finish up my mind, I would have taken two (complementary) the Lite Ash had been sold shortly before my arrival ... Damned and the better it is without regret! -
)

Addition on 23/06/11. The omnipresent buzz of being simple unbearable, I was able to significantly reduce this default by isolating the electronic parts. After searching the net I cobbled something but it works: I lined the cavities with foil, wrapped the mic with Teflon tape and then aluminum foil and electrical tape and covered the inside of the aluminum pickguard adhesive. Desperate times call for great ways ... !
Result: Clearly this buzz and almost no distortion is much better! Against by the sound of microphones emerges changed: more powerful, more flashy!
)

One thing that was prominent about the old school Fenders is that they had a bit of a V neck. These V necks can be very much love/hate, so be sure you know what you're in for when buying one. The guitar features an alder body, a maple neck with a maple fretboard (one piece with a skunk stripe), 21 frets, dot inlays, vintage tremolo, three single coil pickups, one volume, two tones and a five way switch.

UTILIZATION

The guitar is put together decently. It's about on par for what comes out of Fender these days. The frets themselves, while level, could use a bit more of a crowning on them. I found them to be a touch flat. The ends themselves were nice, and they didn't slice your hand every time you moved up and down the neck. The nut was cut properly, although it could probably use some lube -- either nut sauce or graphite. The neck joint on this was nice and tight with only a very small gap that is most likely not hindering any tonal aspects of the guitar.

SOUNDS

The pickups in this were a bit too vintage for me. I'm all for vintage gear, but I have trouble playing it sometimes since I'm used to higher gain and higher output pickups. The bridge pickup had a great clean sound, and the in between position was to die for. I plugged this into a nice Fender Bassman, and it was just tone for days. The neck and split positions with the neck were also tonal bliss, but I still found myself wanting some more output for those heavier lead lines. I'm more of a legato player, so these pickups make me work.

OVERALL OPINION

The guitar is pretty good, but be sure you like the V neck that's on this. It's a very love or hate type of neck. If you've never played a V neck before, hit up your local Fender dealer and a try a few. Some people really love them, and I think they're pretty cool, but it's not something I want every instrument to have.

-Made in Mexico
-21 Frets, 3 single coil Fender pickups.
-Vintage bridge with vibrato: D
-3 Buttons: 1 Volume, 2 Tone,
-1 5-way switch.
Channel super nice ... Really perfect. I do not know how it is done, but I adoooooooore ...

I put 5 points just for the bridge, and 5 for the rest

UTILIZATION

"I love to say ... The handle is sublime (in addition to my home smells good: p)
-Access to Acute extremely easy (it's not for nothing that it is a strato XD)
Normal-weight, ie neither too heavy nor too light.
-It is more difficult to get a good sound bad sound ... The sound is perfect

I put another 10 because I do not see why I metterai 9.

SOUNDS

-It is ideally suited to my style of music, ie 70 years of Rock (Dire Straits, Pink Floyd, ZZ Top, ACDC), except that the overdrive is pretty low (tt case with my amp, an Eko HPE 30 Watts ). So I use a distortion pedal. I get a very precise distortion, perfect for what I look like her.
-Amp: Eko HPE 30 (click to view) ( http://www.priceminister.com/offer/buy/53707758/Eko-Hpe-30-Ampli-Guitare-30-Watts-Instrument.html ) . It is a bit old, but very powerful.

Distortion-pedal: Behringer UM 300 ( https://www.woodbrass.com/BEHRINGER%2BUM300%2BPEDALE%2BD%27EFFET%2BULTRA%2BMETAL ) .

"I love all the sounds of this guitar ...

I put 9 because the overdrive which is pretty low.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for almost 1 month.
"I love everything about this guitar, except maybe the fact that the selector pickups a little discomfort, but it has to come from me, because I'm alone in saying that. But just move the hand of 1cm, and it's done.
"I had a BC Rich Warlock before buying it, and I tried a Gibson SG, an Epiphone Lespaul, and a Yamaha Pacifica.
Paid-€ 800 new, I find the price / quality ratio more than adequate. Moreover, by purchasing, I felt ripped off Fender was done (I'm kidding lol).
-With experience, this choice I would do without hesitation.

-Made in Mexico
-21 Frets, original pickups very real
-Alder body, maple neck
-Very good violin
-Pickguard to change, the original is very poor

UTILIZATION

V-Neck super nice, very nice, apart from the varnish that goes beyond just a few frets, but nothing important!
Access to acute-perfect (Strat so ...)
Weight-pretty decent standing as sitting
-Is obtained very quickly a very good sound

SOUNDS

Sounds really good especially in the clear with my Peavey VK 212 is truly sublime. In his saturates as it is more than good for this price range that I just change my pickups for vintage fender 57/62, and there, what to say ... wow! Extra sound, I also advise you will definitely not disappoint either.
You can play anything but metal, etc. Of course ... fender is a not a jackson or ibanez, then the fun metalheads who say that it strats to shit, go to bed! It's not made for that one strat!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a little over a year, I love the V handle super nice and the sound that the pickups come out, what I like least ... uh ... for that price, it is can not be disappointed!
VERY GOOD VALUE / PRICE
I do it again this choice without problems!
I strongly advise you to those who want a good electric scratches without breaking the bank.

Superb production mexicaine.Le handle is yellow to give a vintage appearance.

UTILIZATION

Handle very very agragble, not too wide, perfect frets.
CASC is very good to acute.
The interface is ... that of a Start: A model, a must! ^ ^
A bit heavy (nothing really Gnant) (I expected it to be more lgre but good) is when even more Lger my bass.
The sound is easy to obtain: plug the guitar! <img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt="wink" />

SOUNDS

I was looking for an electric guitar to compose and play standards: Beatles, Stones, etc..

I do not have much effect: a TC Electronic distortion, tremolo Marshallet compressor T-Rex.
The sound is crystalline, a sound "Buddy Holly", especially in bridge pickup!
In neck pickup, with a slight crunch is gnial!
It's the sound that I prefer. For cons, the microphone is not my mid prfr.

The pickups are decent, good output level, no snoring.
But for the sonority my "ten" is justified by the vibrato! The best vibrato I've ever had in hand. If you play with it in hand is Hank Marvin who invites himself home ... <img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="biggrin" />

OVERALL OPINION

I have since early July.
I like the design (like Fender) and the color, blue sky, the sound (distortion, too), and anything! It takes a long time the agreement covers: Mechanical good.
I put more screws for the pickguard but hey, it's even qd.

The report is very good qualitprix: 719 gross price including VAT and 498 from a dealer very experienced Internet.
- With the exprience, you do again this election? not know, actually, I had to buy a Fender Esquire (Telecaster microphone) and unavailable at ... Thomann.
So I turned down bin on the Start but not the Standard series, this one!

But I am far from regretting, I love it!

OVERALL OPINION

After having long rflchi between U.S. and Mexico-war popular topic on the forums, I trust my ears and my hands and I am DCID a year ago for this Fender Stratocaster Classic Mexico 50. I do not pronounce on the quality of the instrument, the rest as a matter of taste and personal style each. I went on running and did the studio with this guitar and did nothing wrong.

The hardware will probably change after several years of playing rgulier, micro float a little but everything else is nickel. Besides, a little Vaseline in the threads of the block and block the microphone with a rubber tip made me forget everything.

It is a real Strat-not a "strat-half" or "strata of the poor" - it sounds like a real Start and shit, it's just a Start except that it has manufactured t mexico. I would put a 10 without even consider price.
