Fender Deluxe Roadhouse Stratocaster [2007-2013]

This beautiful Stratocaster was made in Mexico, and I got it in September 2012. It consists of an alder body and bolt-on maple neck.
It has 21 frets and a maple fingerboard also.
It is also composed of three single-coil pickups Fender Custom Shop Texas Special, accompanied by a general volume of two tones (+ 5-way switch).

UTILIZATION

The handle is very good to play and move around is a pleasure, because as the Gibson SG 60's Tribute, it is fine.
Access to the highest notes is as easy as the place is to be able to even make "Full".
A defect in his weight a bit heavy (4.3 kg), its shape is typical of the stratosphere form, which I think is very beautiful to watch.
When the branch, get a good sound is a bit more difficult than the Gibson, but we quickly found a sound that still sends: when positioning the switch to the neck pickup, the sound is to die for earth ..! (Especially on an amp Vox or Fender tube!).
Note that the finish is perfect.

SOUNDS

This guitar suits perfectly to the Blues or even Rock; since with the 5-way switch, you can travel on a wide range of sounds.
With the neck pickup, and this is my favorite sound, I get the Blues, who "travel" when you play I think, I call it, the sound "bottle" (beautiful).
My sound that I find less is undoubtedly the bridge pickup, well certainly for good Rock / Blues, but I think it is too acute, sometimes when the bass are not mounted at least until 3/4.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this guitar for 2 years and I am totally satisfied with it.
For the Blues, it is great to make Rock? Too!
The price / quality ratio is very interesting indeed, since it is a Stratocaster 700 euros! And the sound quality would be a little more, I think.
Finally, I love the typical plate of the "Deluxe" series, with black and red patterns.

In the catalog this guitar called France Fender Stratocaster Fender Deluxe Roadhouse.
Technical Specifications for all t has said (thank you).
Only diffrence, the microphone is normally placed slecteur ie neck pickup and bridge pickup top to bottom.

UTILIZATION

Oh the sound! My friends what a sound! Slamming and round the same time, Mr. Fender Thank you!

SOUNDS

A wonder for the Blues with a Peavey Classic 30 and Jacques Mercer Box in the crunch.

OVERALL OPINION

(...) Buy in Europe for 611, I made infidlits my old Gibson Les Paul US since 3 weeks ... Stratum does not play on the same record but did not blush before his cousin amricaine.
You'll put a dozen ct

Micro Channel Plate complexion Brown Shell, Texas Special pickups

All that is simpler, no dception posible, we are faced with a START!
The photo above is the guitar I bought on eBay direct to the States Unis.C 'A model is produced for the American market.

The only changes I RALIS: I changed the rear plate (4 holes), which sets the handle to a more MODEL Aesthetics with the Fender logo - Corona. The original plate, like on many Southwestern, dpourvue of any entry. I also come dernirement to add the shield of the vibrato rear of the instrument, I installed a vintage white plate 57.

UTILIZATION

Channel ultra enjoyable, excellent Access in acute, a classic strat weight, excellent balance.

Mics: ds one branch is known that Fender.
I am surprised by the positions they are opposite from all the strats I've seen: Micro grave to the right micro sharper to the left. In principle the reverse?
Added APRS having compared a standard strat US: It has more EHJV MODEL in any case I have, a range of sounds really important. The positions are not reversed, it is the sound palette that micro tonne.
The sound is top: the central position offers a dynamic crunch and a good rev, intermdiare position was the slamming funk of many strats. Micro acute (ie left) excellent for rock riffs well.
It sounds terrible! I'm really impressed trs!
Total versatility, we can all play with. The pickups are of impressive precision, each with its own individualized sounds you get shuffled standards. Total ecstasy!

SOUNDS

We can all play this instrument. Of course, it is rather the size blues and all the drive (again a matter of marketing!)
Total versatility!

I play on a Peavey Delta Blues 115 amp all lamps.
I tested it on a Peavey Classic 30 from a friend: a ring ausi trs net.

My advice to give: it is to invest with this pearl of a whole stratum lamp (Fender Blues Junior is more than enough), it MRIT!

OVERALL OPINION

Aesthetics is the most.

The MODEL that I got is white crme (There is another version sunburst).

I hearing that the strata are mxicanes infrieures in quality manufacturing for US: my opinion is that everything is a matter of marketing. I had several layers, only US, the Mexican version is not a standart infrieure US, and I think a better bill Hi-way plutt cheap cot finish. The MODEL premium mexico dtour worth. On this roadhouse, the finish is exemplary! What a beauty!
Any fawn, the spices fender (Manche, body, bridge, pickups, mechanical ...) are produced in the same factories and the assembly is not so complicated ... So look for a less high-end strat trs (Relic, ressiue US, ...), custom shop has almost no surprises on this MODM mexico.

By reading various opinions on MODELS mexico (baja including tl) it appears that either your exact irrgulier trs. I trust our community as a musician, I can not speak too much because it is the very first time I invest in mexico MODEL: So mfiance priori, since it may fall on THE MODEL like a guitar that accumulates ppins. This much, except grve problem of electronics, a good Luhya can rgler the instrument!

Assets:
For the price it has a trs beautiful Stratocaster SERIES, we can date with confidence, will point to scne without worrying about tuning or be limited in its. It provides really!
The sounds are sublime: the 3 specially worth texas dtour!
The neck: a rgal!
And the price: given the current value dollards-euro (Provided that lasted, I have suits me!) The fender cover is really nice, it being protected although the instrument. Buying a tuit s'avrer can better sense for the beautiful being protected
If all models of sries are equal to the one I possde this stratocaster will be a hit!

I think everything has been said above

UTILIZATION

I found the handle not terrible at first. After a few tries, I go back and find it very well. I would also say though that my Wasburn. The ERGONOMIC is very good, is a stratum, then dug for the flop, access to the treble is good too. Sound level is really good. 3 micro + the very different tone, it makes a lot of possibilities!

SOUNDS

Well as I said above. 3 pickups and 2 tone, full of possibilities. The texas are very good (to my taste)

OVERALL OPINION

My first Fender Stratocaster from home. I use it for nearly a mois.Je do not usually simple to use microphones. I wanted a Start to change. I was not disappointed! Very versatile guitar, but that does not mean a lack of character. It will sound very crystalline heavy sounds to my surprise! It sometimes lack a little punch with kids distos. In my opinion it anyway as good as some humbuckers.
Basically I had gone to buy a telecaster, but I flashed on this one and I'm left with. I tried the classic player that disappointed me in general. This one is just more expensive and much more! The lute is also good.
I REFERRED choice without hesitation. The telecaster, that's for later ...
