- So, for entry-level Fender made in the United States, 22 jumbo frets (sisi!), 3 simple bob 'Alnico III, 1 Vol / 2 Tone, standard vibrato, slcteur 5 positions, insert jack on the table, and small novelty head round 70's style, contour handle "C" ...
I selected version "button maple". In short it is a strat 'but finally (somewhat) recasts.

I will put on the equipment a good 9 aprceque there really all that needs to be or should be!

UTILIZATION

The handle ... It's really him that I DCID. I, the anti-de-strat-old that-all-the-world-is-a-the-same!
The really say anything: Hyper easy to play, too comfortable and "inspiring" in style "thumb derrire / lgato / sweep / dive bomb" that "thumb over / rock 'n roll / bend / vibrato / Keith Richards. "I had that same Discoveries can be enjoyable to play chords.
And I was not expecting it!

This may be of the new frets (damage their finish'm not on my copy MODL) o this beautiful maple affects both gross and sweet!?
I put 9 (it is impossible to be perfect in all styles

SOUNDS

So, scratch that perfectly fits all the styles that I approach.

I plugged into an Ashdown Fallen Angel 60W head with 4X12 cab attached.

I must say that I have a little boost by changing the bridge pickup with a Seymour Duncan Hot Rail trs that met many of the stringed guitar and a four-SSSL "quarter pound" (same mark) when the "rail" has fallen behind.
And since I wonder if I will return to rear! It pais, warm, nuanced ... Rgal in a distortion / drive.
Ditto for the other mics I have always believed that the simple bob 'silent central to the intervention between 2 pretty "real" pickups neck / bridge.
No way! Here it is quite incisive when pushed into a corner, with a roundness less runny than the neck pickup and a cutting edge less garish than the bridge. Excellent also for rhythmic clarity or to simulate a sound (well I say simulated!).
The neck pickup when he can find all the sounds "fenderiens" on positions 1 and 2 (starting from top) c'st say excellent in blues, funky dlicieusement or fat injection in fuzz .

In résumé of trs beautiful clear, but may be the original bridge that I find "fiddle" and nasal tlcaster limited low-end, the crunch and a bit phnomnaux short for large distos (requires simple) but give out the same changes qd for there enough wood for the "body"!
So because of the seven original bridge.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it intensively for the past eight months and it really fills my expectations. Ms when he pushes me of Pantera at your fingertips!
I love its versatility, the report "pro" sound well balanced and always about the comfort gnral.
It is exactly what I wanted: arrter with small MODELS good for 2 years and spend versatile srieux (exit jackson series Pacher / strat japan / Gretsch Electromatic duojet: the H1 and replaces all! )

Just a BMOL the finish: frets with "chrome" is dcolle (but there is still a bright layer below !??), few smudges of glue also at the hoop. APRS dfonces the opening of the body are well done even when the tears too ... But none of the pleasure to hinder / playability Especially for the price: 666 (!) roro on thomann.

I think I do it again this election if I break it!
Otherwise I will continue my arsenal complter: les paul / ibanez rg ...
