Winrock « Very good guitar »
Published on 08/03/12 at 03:44Guitar made in Mexico, with a trim level higher than other Mexican. Maple neck, 21 frets, 3 single coil Strat a basic brief. The pickups are not noiseless but a very good sound anyway because of 9/10.
UTILIZATION
Very nice guitar to play for hours with a reasonable weight, the sound is excellent but the clean guitar is not made for the modern metal (you can still play the Guns' n Roses, Iron Maiden, Led Zeppelin .. .) because of its basic microphones. You can put simple micro size double coils to ameliorate this problem or else little trick I've found, set the switch so as to put two microphones on at the same time, which almost gives the impression of a double winding. For access to treble solos is ultra easy.
SOUNDS
If one chooses a strat, it's mostly for his versatility. It should therefore have all styles of music from blues / jazz rock to heavy metal (again attention to background noise). I play with a marshall amp transistor low-end or sometimes with a tube amp, all the time with a distortion pedal and an overdrive and sometimes a wah for solos Hendrix or Slash (Slash I know with a Strat this sounds weird but it sounds better and is nicer than the Les Paul Studio which are more expensive). What's the numbers can have nothing but the selector buttons and tone of the guitar it's crazy.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it since April I just changed the strings for Ernie Ball Cobalt because I do not like super light gauge supplied with the guitar because once granted half tone lower you got over a lot of tension in the strings. I tried an imitation Les Paul and Les Paul studio before purchasing this choice and I would do the price / quality ratio is very good. I may be putting noiseless pickups but I'm not on good equipment because with the background noise is minimal.
