Manufactures in Mexico
21 Frets, Vintage Fender bridge type. Too bad the 21 frets. It is my opinion too little to play some solos. But a US has 22 frets, and it is also too little.
2 pot: 1 volume, 1 Tone 1 slecteur 5 positions, handle a pice C
The pickups are original fender Ceramics (single coil), without being quite amazing. We'll talk about.
In short, a classic Strate.
Alder body on this new version (upgrade in 2006), handle stocky, rosewood fingerboard.
I put 8 because of how microphones.

UTILIZATION

Use and ergonomics.
The handle is manufactured in the United States. Lgrement polished, enjoyable without being exceptional, hand glides well (it does not fit), fast, plutt end. It would be more suited to small hands so silent the radius smaller. But it is even largely enjoyable.

Access in acute is correct. Strate has all his little heel junction body / sleeve. If you have long fingers, so it do not GNER. If like me you have fingers "normal", ca GNER do too much, but you just deverez to practice before playing the 21 th fret spontanment serious.

Weight: a stratum is not a Les Paul. But this is not a lightweight either. I would say the weight is trs correct (envrion 4.5 kg I think). Nanmoins, weight is also an indication of massive instrument, which is felt the ct.
For example, I try to t the fun of Squiers and Strata USD. Believe it or not, I t surprised by the weight of the lightweight and especially the US Squier. Real featherweight. We'll talk about.

This gives very easy sound you want: branches guitar, the amp turns on, choose your position on the guitar and go. It comes by itself.

SOUNDS

I like rock. I love Pink Floyd, Nirvana, and others years 60-70-80-90. It is perfect. I'm a fan of Queen, and only the s'arrte stratum. I dlaisse for my Burns Brian May.
I play with a little amp Roland Cube 30, in an apartment (not to push the pain of bringing the old bottom), and the sound is good vraimment trs.
Of course, as I said dj, microphones original characters lack. They are powerful, but desfois a little rough.

Position Bridge: the slamming, Tlcaster type, perfect for grunge, alternative rock. It is also my opinion the best position in the saturated o distortion is most noticeable.
Bridge-middle position intermdiaire: Crystalline, Dire Straits. You know what's typical Strate, trs enjoyable.
Middle position: hmmmm. It's a position I do not use much. She has over the Previous mdium, the sound is less Dfine ...
Intermdiaire mid-position handle: Red Hot Chili Peppers. Listen to Snow (Hey Oh). Exactly. It looks a bit like mid-rack, but richer in mdium.
Neck position, I do not use it much. Looks a bit like in the middle, but more size for the blues I think.

A empty and our back and our US Squier. I know what you think of Mexico. Lots of bad things, but it should be emphasized that the standard effort t done. This 2006 version has a heavy vibrato for more sustain. This sounds admirably Strate empty.
Honntement, 1 minute was enough to notice that the US (and I'm talking about the Squier) sounded worse than my mex. Attention, I'm not saying that the high-end fender MODELS (1 amricaine base is not high end) are worse than the Mexican. It would be false and bte. on the other hand, on The models base, it seems to me that the mex. have little envy the USD.
8 to pickups

OVERALL OPINION

I've had four months. The only thing I dislike is the fact that this guitar is seen too, everywhere. Copy it is too, so we do not feel like playing with something DIFFERENT from the others. Too bad.
1 more time, competition is a Southwestern-US Eternal discussion. Some would say that the United States are better, others that it is the mex. I think there bad Mex., US and bad (like the one I had in my hands). Normal for companies producing the string (the US are not made by master luthiers ...).
Sr what is, is that for 610 new EURO (gauchre, Brown Sunburst), ie about 550 for a non droitire Sunburst (Germany), it beats hands down the US-related quality money.
I do probably never do it again this choice, because if I Rasht a stratum, it will be a real luxury MODEL. No other models will know the basic satisfy me as much as this little mex ...
