Guitar Factory in the United States (although it is necessary to specify this?)
moultes banality stratodes are waiting for you
5-way switch, 1 volume knob, tone knob 2
A bit too mechanical in the retro trip (long live the mechanisms blocking the y'en but not too much so do not overdo the vibrato and bends mega)
Red paint (candy apple red) Cellulose trs vintage but it does not dsacorde guitar and gives a little look SIMPATIE.
The knobs and pickups are crme caches, with the white plate is an unspeakable ugliness but hey, it's been vintage, must justify the name.

the banalities finally passes, that's the most interesting
to the microphones: 2 Samarium Cobalt Noiseless pickups (low medium)
DiMarzio Tonezone 1 (acute)
electronics is equipped with a visibly Noiseless trs n'altre not effective and sound.

It's not a lot, you think so? try this guitar and all the other strata of series in this price range at the corner store you'll see ...

UTILIZATION

The handle is pleasant trs. I am a regular sized sleeves instead of D, it tends to be the size in V. Bizard the first time but got used to it quickly saw the comfort. It becomes a real pleasure to play on this set.
Access in acute ais is like any strat, but now the question is, why does the stick that 21 cargo you it ??... There's vintage, because in the name?

For sound, it sounds strat, it's plug and play, roll my chicken it sounds deadly.

SOUNDS

While the level is super simple. It's a Start with a bit more of her (just enough to make a difference)
From jazz to hard rock, all styles will pass without pb.
Blues, funk, soul, blues, rock (even FM) Grunge (the DiMarzio is able to be as clean as dirty) ...
The two simple config a double (simple format) is trs effective point of view of versatility.
As mentioned above, you plug the guitar, triturated all the buttons, and it works anyway, it's great. It sounds no matter the setting.
The output level seems important enough for this type of guitar.

OVERALL OPINION

Be careful, do not be attracted by the title VINTAGE certainly eye-catching but quite far from the truth of this instrument (other than mechanical: s, and the look-phew).
I've had a week is really a guitar simpa. It's not the revolution of the century but it is a pleasant and well-strat trs think.
Everything is Excellent except that 3 points would have made this guitar a true small bombinette:
No, the DiMarzio Split
-21 Freight (the 22me t would not luxury, it is known to do more in fender).
And the ultimate, the mechanisms that do not agree ... I will soon change.
Shame is silent while the PRS Fender Dream Machine
