Value For Money : Excellent
A ramjet is no introduction.
This is a Mexican manufacturing with a superb wooden handle with a small white painted that yellow ... Maple and I think the key is in the same block.
Three pottards (1volume, 2tonalits) and a selector.
Three simple microphones.
Acastillage plastok vintage and slightly beige, ca claque! (They wanted to used the same plastic as the strat'57 which served as a copy).
A beautiful jewelry.
ps: it is slightly more expensive in sunburst.

UTILIZATION

The thing I loved at first contact with damme is the handle, the two dove-cots trs. It is calle perfectly between the pads with U-shape
Like many of strata, it has only 21 frets so no problem to walk across the set.
The vibrato is a well hold the height at which it is allowed, there is not a fish it out every time.
Its weight is far from excessive.
Personal I did not see what was the role pottard tone of the environment and I always leave one on 10 (high) because otherwise the sound is puffy in the middle pickup. However in the bridge position, treble singlent sometimes a little and it must then get off at 5 or 0 (especially at high volume).
I also leave the volume as background in the first half of the cource is void and then ente 5 and 8, the food sustain. So a 10 forever.
The same time it leaves no possibility for the 50 parameters, we easily find its bearings.

SOUNDS

The sound is amazing! The sound is warm, slightly more "telecasterienne" a strat-style highway or a std mexico, vintage trs.
I play classic rock and I am a height of hendrix pink floyd led zep through and I forget. There are sounds clear round trs trs or more metal but soft, not harsh for ca. It trs crunch well and each note of an agreement stands. It responds well to distos trs (as long as it is by distos metal, though ...), sounds trs aves own a beautiful sustain and a nice potato. It's clean, metals it is not for you. A beautiful sound trs trs enjoyable.
However the pickups a little sizzle but not trs annoying.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had about 10 months and I am beginning ravi.Au I test a highway and a classic 60 '. I found the highway too metal and I was leaning more towards the 60 'which was the warmest and one day a salesperson told me "I have the 50' too." Then I thought "why not go" and APRS have loved the grip, I scratched once and loved it even hotter than the 60 '. After 2 minutes, I said I would buy it without hsiter. Excellent qualitprix (700 euros) being given the quality of the intrument. I play on a pramp boss gx 700, and even if it has aged well, there are ways to find good sounds, cot amp, I have a marshall 30dfx and shit it, it sounds good (the preamp of a epeu ratrape gx 700) but I had the opportunity to test it on tube amps (Hiwatt Custom, fender bassman 59 and Vibrolux) and ca harmonizes to perfection whether for potatoes HIWATT or the heat of the bassman.
I do it again this choice without hsiter.
