made in mexico but purchased in the usa in 2006 as fender sends his best instruments "mexico" on the US market, less good copies are for the remains of the world while dealers know ...
- Alder body
- Soft handle V rather fine with maple fingerboard
- Vintage bridge bridges with branded fender
- Oil bath mechanical
- 2 single coil vintage ceramic, 1 double fender "wide range"
varnishes and finish worthy of the USA, in any case than my fender highway one and the current mexico
That blame him? nothing.

USE

All uses of a good strat with a possibility to play solo or with the edgy rock humbucker "wide range" alnico. Channel fine and pleasant, Action set much lower than on Higway or Jeff Beck Signature '.
Even a lab monkey could pull a sound this guitar so why not a guitarist ...

SOUNDS

Actually, I am a regular fender, I had 5 or 6, the neck pickup is soft and slamming, but beware, set it properly, do not hesitate to reassemble some level of acute, From what is honey!
Position 2 and 4 great is crystalline perfection, really beautiful.
Position 3, I never use whatever I play the guitar apart on telecaster.
Position 5, the humbucker is powerful and granular, to tell the truth I do not play that position 5 as the possibilities of this double are great.
It can be used in clean, (it's not a Emg he grain), or it does better than just usually mounted on the other fender.
In overive it tough and aggressive sounds just right, it's still very vintage, you need to know.
Saturation, it sounds as good as my Gibson 490 T and to my taste is much singing as active EMG.
In short it opens new doors to the Strat.

NOTICE GLOBAL

If you love the sound fender but you are solites and is the single of your fender too "skinny", turn to your fat strat and preferably a pre-2007 model directly from the USA. In any case forget your a priori on the fat strat, double RANGE Wide alnico also sounds a vintage single coil and offers a wider range of possibility.
The most versatile guitar I own, the one I always use in concert. For just 650 euros ...
If my flying I would buy the same but white for me to play Hendrix ... Really a very good deal.
