{EDIT: small revision late 2010}

It should be clear: This is simply a standard U.S. Start (MODEL 2007) with an optional micro Roland supplmentaire very discreet, the possible cons that bridge if we can actively change sound or tuning in keeping the playing comfort of its stratum.

Mine has the classic sunburst body with Rosewood handle professional standard and a true standard strat with three single coils and slecteur 5 position which the reputation of his legendary Stratocaster, sublimated by SRV -M-, clapton, dire straits, ...

Bond to 9, a true strat 'BLEND a Variax, very good coupling idegniale!

UTILIZATION

For use, nothing to say is what a Start, one of the most versatile guitars in the market of origin, which we added the possibility to combine ergonomics and its character tlcaster sounds, humbucker Les Paul type guitars acoustic and 5 by turning a button!

Secondly we can change tuning a split second, turning a second knob, and even transform his 12-string guitar (very stunning!) A total of 36 possible combinations (HH Open soil, tl drop D, 12-string Stratocaster etc.)

Negatives points:
- Batteries wearing off too quickly without the circuit being used VG, it is better if we want rpter a classic strat remove. Specifies that it should be if we enlve batteries, or even if it tears the roland micro or circuit, the guitar is a strat U.S. classic.
- The acoustic sounds are not exceptional, I use them mostly in the No. 12-string configuration is bluffing.
- By changing the tuning, we sometimes hear in the ear a little tending the original sound of the chord on the strings dtone Aiges, Gnant a bit ...

9 So on that point, I could put ten saw the ease of changing the configuration (1 knob more than a standard strat !!!), but the wear of the batteries is sometimes prmature g Nante.

SOUNDS

Ben sounds, nothing wrong, all sounds are very modliss thundering, micro Roland is exceptional, as dynamic as the magnetic classic.

Configuration strat classical bin saying anything, is a strat the U.S. with its qualities and its defects.

So 7 for acoustic sometimes unconvincing ... And I must admit that playing on a "modlisation tlcaster of" psychologically, it's different than playing on a real tl ... Even if the sound is very close, it seems that something is missing.

The tunings are amazing, but not 100% perfect either ...

OVERALL OPINION

Soon, I've had a year she is no longer produced since April 2009. If it did not work is simply that the guitarists are sometimes too conservative, and that scratching a bit too revolutionized the middle ... I think.

I've never seen any negatives reviews on this guitar from its users, it is a product of excellent quality despite the Ides reues.

The other point that has slowed its sales, its price (2300 Official I think, so from 1800 to 1900 euros on the internet), but as I bought at stores dstockaient o (late production ) I had almost for the price of a standard strat U.S., so basically I had the free option Roland VG.

I do not regret my purchase at all, this guitar will follow me all my life! So 9!
