J.Yves « A good strat !!!!!!! »
Published on 08/05/10 at 02:25Start manufactured in the USA .. There are 2 colors (2 color sunburst) and (candy apple red) ..
The body is alder (alder) and privileged crystalline sounds, plus a nitrocellulose lacquer finish with a very fine ..
The neck is maple and the fingerboard with a satin nitrocellulose lacquer gloss back ..
The profile of the latter is "V" relaxed for 21 jumbo frets type Medium .. Radius 9.5 "(241 mm)
Electronics side we find ourselves in a configuration typical strat except .....
Config microphones is S / S / S but the exception is the bridge pickup which is actually a humbucker, a DIMARZIO Tone Zone ..
For Middle found a Samarium Cobalt Noiseless and for the neck pickup .. All managed by a 5-position switch and a master volume and 2 tone .. The standart in a strat I told you ..
For accessories we have a tremolo American Vintage Vintage styles and mechanics all chrome ..
Originally the guitar is fitted with a pull string of 010 / 046 ..
Oh I forgot about the body was a white plate a folded (8 hole)
This guitar is sold with a fly box vintage Fender type ..
UTILIZATION
After paragraph abordont technical things more enjoyable ..
In the context of its use this guitar is neither more nor less than a strata, but I confess that the handle "V" that is not what happens most often on this type of model I quite convinced after an adaptation phase .. The latter is very soft and comfortable despite pulling strings which I'm not used ..
For the rest I will not dwell too because as I said before we are on a strat standart model ..
If still a feature on the veneer of the guitar is very thin and breathable timber and gives a distinctive sounds obtained ..
Apart from the Tone Zone DIMARZIO and again that this strat sounding strat despite some comments I read or hear who thinks the opposite and I find the balance between the tone zone and samarium relatively balanced ..
slamming and the sound is crystalline and the tone zone unpacks course sounds more saturated ..
However I'm wary because Fender strats still possessing many of the same model and see I realize that each instrument will have its own type of sound .. I had 3 Start Plus and frankly none of the three sounded like no .. Impressive ..
But to sum this paragraph know that with this guitar you get the sound ..
SOUNDS
I have so far managed to obtain the desired sound as well as clear that disto ..
I am much more demanding on the type of distortion that sounds clear and I managed to get this guitar with the help of my rack Eleven distos of a harmonic richness and a huge grain ..
I scratch a few pots that do not always come back ..
In fact, the paradox is that I use this guitar for some distortion sounds like virtual amp and sounds rather clear on real tube amp ..
OVERALL OPINION
It's been almost a year and a half since I own this guitar and I'm almost at a time not separated by negative opinion but because I worked great trip all year and I can play with all my guitars but after reflection I'm certainly not saying no .. I want to keep it, certainly a more strat strat .. but the comparison is easy because I have other strats strats and even of different brands and this particular model could almost be part of a series Custom Shop ..
In fact the only downside for me is the plate that covers the body ..
It bends a plate 1 which is fake .. So I know they say it's a vintage model 57, so we reproduce the accessories of that time, but frankly I like it not me .. Indeed since the Vintage side is in the title in the guitar I could see a plate a little more consistent ..
I paid this guitar 1700 euros and given the sound quality as well as finishing in general, yes it is a guitar of this price ..
