«  Good instrument, but change »

Value For Money : Excellent
Korea gear assembly with the USA in the Cort factories. American vibrato bridge / tremolo that (for me) not tune anything if it is not for Floyd, at the same time the guys with this kind of bridge it is expected that the guitar goes out of tune! Should stop criticizing everything and then also out € 1,200 for a Custom Shop with self-locking mechanical. Maple neck with maple fingerboard 22 frets cut V silhouetted C (special, but nice). It is speckled super class, very abalone inlays Custom. 3 Seymour Duncan Alnico (still!) And, as in other strat, 3 buttons flight tone and 5-way switch.

UTILIZATION

Channel super nice! So, without contradicting that negative opinions can give, I think there are good and bad lite ash. It's like anything, they do not all plants with the same quality out, that's why there are luthiers, these are people that you adjust your guitar and ho magic, can be improved by changing the you do not like! I actually changed and the bridge pickup (not my sound, too loud) against a hot rails, the nut (poor quality must be said) against a resin plant in mechanical and cons of self-locking Kluson Deluxe. The guitar takes a standard strat body so super well balanced and certainly a little heavier BECAUSE IT'S ASH and that's it for me that's the beauty of this guitar, super natural finish that recalls those of the period CBS 1970. The sound is good to stop! It is super versatile, and after CAN CHANGE EVERYTHING YOU WANT IF IT DOES NOT PLEASE!

SOUNDS

I'm looking for a sound ranging from surf rock to blues, so I changed everything accordingly (the middle is for me very well for surfing with a good reverb). For me the pickups are good, much better than the stuff "classic '60 'found on the Southwestern who have no class and made limited. Here we are on a SINGLE guitar to tame, it's not like a Fender Clapton Shadows or other, that is clear, but not limited to that, she stands out. I play a Vox AC15 tube, rendering is excellent, the microphones respond really well, and let the varnish very well pass sound. Must call a spade a spade, this guitar worth.

OVERALL OPINION

I have since 2009 (I had the time to draw a little haha). I tried a bunch of guitars, the Southwestern, jap and us. This kind of guitars you see everywhere and everyone. This one is really unique, all luthiers who could see were surprised by his record compared to this little annotation behind the "made in korea" head. The price / quality ratio is excellent, really, the paint is perfect, the handle does not move and is very GOOD QUALITY. Ok, some elements should be changed, and this is called "taking care of his instrument." I respect much a musician who drags a guitar that looks to force him to customize a guitar enthusiast who changes every 6 months without ever being happy.
You want quality Fender? You want a single instrument? For cheap? Find you a Lite Ash.
