SOUNDS

We all sounds with a strato except humbuckers sound, but it is not what is asked.
I play a Fender Deluxe Reverb Silverface of 72 with a Marshall distortion.
It was the sound David Gilmour, Hendrix, Red Hot Chili Peppers etc. ....
I love all the sounds of strata. It was the grain that do not have the latest issue MODELS. It's not snobbery. People who have a pre CBS Start confirm this. It is transported in the 60's with his indmodable and Ingala.

OVERALL OPINION

I have since 1977, this is a lease.
I like everything in stratum I do not see ngatif cot. It very old (like me j'espre).
I have a change against the 1958 ES 335 2500F bought a year before (and yes, I did something stupid) because the sound was too Gibson jazz my taste (it is silent in the middle PERIOD punk)
How to judge the relative quality cost? I do not know.
As an example, I have not provided the value Argus offers, it has audio fanzine I think.
