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!
