«  good guitar beautiful appearance a bit misleading »

Published on 04/21/13 at 14:23
made in Korea
carved basswood body
Maple set neck (that I read), and rosewood fingerboard
not tremolo through the strings of the guitar body
nut graph
24 jumbo frets
Celtic drawing down the handle
1 humbucker Fender Atomic II
1 volume knob

UTILIZATION

firstly it exudes quality manufacturing: mechanical to body
even if the guitar is light it is not fragile, it is well balanced
the handle is fine but the key has a height greater than that of some Stratocaster:
cool for big fingers ... action is a dream, ideal for quick play, very good access to acute.
unplugged guitar, the sound is already very highly compressed, it is hard to hear serious beautiful, we look for a little mid ...
even my Squier 51 sends more bass and midrange, not too style Les Paul, the Showmaster.
a priori manufacturing seems to be a Strat sound, rather acute, but sends and sustain is there.
the Atomic II humbucker its attractive high output (14 and dust)
it can not restore what he captures.

SOUNDS

it suits me? planting the scene, even with the default settings of my Classic 30: Acute 0/10, mid 6/10, severe 10/10, clear sound, it still sounds acute. when you press the distortion pedal, it sends but it is still very typical strat, not strong in severe and therefore more compressed, it lacks a bit of body. it reminds me of the period King Crimson Adrian Belew: highly compressed, but sustain considerable.

about the single microphone, I would like to hear on another body guitar vibrate very round, but it seems urgent to move towards Di Marzio or Duncan. or not ...

if you want a stout and much more serious, yes sound. violin but does not promote it.

if you only want the hyper compressed metal, or a punchy strat sound, we can stay like this (see Youtube)

that's what the blue appearance / gray metal, Celtic landmark, the Atomic humbucker 2 may be mistaken-the-world. This is the Fender version of Metal: a brown gothic trend hides a sporty blonde surfer trend.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a few days. I admit that I'm pretty confused, because I love the guitar body that vibrate well and sends low frequency round, but I can not not love this Fender ... beautiful, quality manufacturing to cry MIM, it inspires me another game, other sounds, far from my LP ...
