It is a hardtail stratocaster USA 1977 (no vibrato) frne body.
21 frets, I changed the original pickups a little soft for Fralin Blues spcial, much warmer and suited to rock fawn Richie Blackmore era of "Machine Head" for example .
Rosewood handle relatively thin trs trs enjoyable, trs right quick. CBS head, replaced the original nut with a brass nut.

UTILIZATION

Super compltement handle the opposite of what may yet sometimes find some strats on CBS. It's pretty late with some of the same all round.

UTILIZATION

Super compltement handle the opposite of what may yet sometimes find some strats on CBS. It's pretty late with some of the same all round.
Access in acute -> It's a Start, no further comments.
Ergonomics "Start", it is rather heavy but acceptable.
The original pickups with the lack of PCHE and grain. With Fralin, the DLIR, the microphones bury all Seymour Duncan Fender or other kind of special Texas. It's hot, full of serious, not runny and accept a high level of saturation without flinching. I have this layer for 3 years and I've had before bcp is the best compromise that I know so far. Enormment Sustain -> may be do to the strings through-type li Telecaster. In any case the advantage is that, without vibrato, it is almost never dsaccorde.

SOUNDS

It's perfect for blues and rock a little pchu (100% OK on Hendrix, Red Hot ...)
Knopfler's playing a Start 54 will be adapted but she knows nanmoins everything.
I play a Peavey Classic 30, RAS, has turned perfectly clear sounds as distorted sounds.

OVERALL OPINION

It's been three years since I that stratum. Some believe that CBS strats are often bad, I have this opportunity to deny that. This layer is a killer. It is true that the finish is not without its critics, lacquers polyurethane Fender this era are a bit cheap. I t also the proud Owner 'of rissue USA 57' and 62 'that are better finished, but are far from offering the sound (at least with the original pickups).
If c'tait again, I would resign (note that I bought 750 Euros the era, which is far prices now read, it must be said, the madness of the current vintage)
