UTILIZATION

The handle is very comfortable and precise with jumbo frets, access to the treble is good and the ergonomics of the guitar is well established! Just a little heavy but well balanced.
The sound is clear and obvious, the lens in velvet ..

SOUNDS

Start the sound for me is a marvel of SRV to Hank Marvin, everything is there. I also love the central microphone very specific about my amp Tech 21 Trademark60. With a "Tubescreamer" we get a huge sound for blues.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 8 years and if I change it will be to another stratum +.
I've had for 10 years a stratum of 1974 that I sold for R2 Blade I in turn sold this strat +. I also have a fender tele power that is not the issue remains! Start and Tele, the ideal couple.
The price of this guitar was not at its output for every budget but we know what we buy, no surprises. Stratum will always be "my" guitar reference.
