MGR/Stan « Brandoni Stratocaster »
Published on 03/29/02 at 15:00I bought this second hand from a friend, i had heard really good reports of this guitar, so i played it and loved it. I payed £300 for it, after it had a plec set up. Ed: This guitar has the Kent Armstrong hot and cool rail pickups built in and a tremolo.
It has so many sounds just by mixing the pick ups with the 5 way selector switch. It also sounds so good with the hot rail at the bridge, it gives you a great crunchy sound. The single coil middle pick up is great for recreating Hendrix sounds and the such like. The Kent Armstrong cool rail at the bridge gives a creamy, smooth vintage sound perfect for blues etc. The solid alder body looks fantasic and sounds great. The scale is perfect as i have quite large fingers.
After using the tremlo arm for a while it put the guitar slightly out of tune, but after a quick waggle of the arm it came back in tune.
It's built really robustly and has held up to many long travels, it has been gigged and there is no dammage at all. It is the best quality guitar i have ever played!
Such a great guitar for the price, unbelievable sound.
