It's a Fender Stratocaster 60's, and as its name suggests, is a replica model of the 60s in Mexico.
I took the model in white crackled, rosewood fingerboard, to my taste the best finish this series.
Big surprise at the first grip: very light! I'm may be a case apart. I am touched

UTILIZATION

fan.le is very pleasant, thanks to finishing "satin worn" is really new sensations, I always had the habit of finishing instruments made recently ( 90/2000 years) with generally very thick varnish, but this is a detail, it is not making it mostly a good guitar, but it is nice to see what kind of feeling, and compare the appearance of This strat varnish, typical of guitars of the era, with modern finishes like my other guitars.

This guitar meets my expectations, the instrument sounds like I want, good sound palette, and dynamic faithful.

SOUNDS

The sound of this stratum is really my goût.La rich sound of this instrument is convincing strat it sounds, well, vintage ..

To mention a few images that can range from the type of solo "Nowhere Man" by the Beatles (who are supposed to use strate 62 on this solo, the model that inspired this series), via the "hideaway" and other pieces of type of VRS, there is really Grain Stratocasters that fill much of the live album "Try!" John Mayer to name more modern influences.

A friend went to try my guitar, a serious Zikos various influences .. it surprised me to turn to ring a "Sultans of Swing" with a grain very similar to the original, I listened to play a quantity of standard rock and blues, seeing explore the multitude of sounds offered him the fender and each time found his happiness, he could not even stop ... very interesting to see his own instrument in the hands of others and see definitely and with enough experience it sounds like it desired. This strat

OVERALL OPINION

plays its role, I wanted a Start sound like I heard on my favorite records, I'm not disappointed.

I chose this model because I wanted to mexico anything other than a U.S.: After having tried some upscale Mexican owned by friends, I realized that buying a good Mexican Fender would be my choice, I opt Fender for Japanese hand (quite reputable money for most), but I've never been able to test or find time.
My choice was made primarily for sound, price and quality to match that price, the feel and appearance "unvarnished" this instrument, its lightness, rosewood fingerboard suited me.

Visually, the next re-issue 60 I liked very much, and the vintage look and the pretty paint cracked "reliquée" (although I appreciate the vintage guitars)

Mics and do deserve their places in my opinion, no need to change, I love the grain.
