See specifications further notice.
The woods used are beautiful: a beautiful maple for the neck, a beautiful sunburst which I have never seen the eqivalent even on more expensive guitars.
Note: the handle is made of two glued parts which explains the absence of the tongue to drown the usual rounds with no button reported.
Last specification, the two tone controls have a functioning original, namely that they manage for the first treble and bass respectively.
I put a 9 for the manufacturing quality of a very high level.
UTILIZATION
The handle: it has a uniform profile throughout its C longueur.Relativement thick, it remains confortable.le important point to note is that forgives nothing: it is quite unsettling for users of the strats classiques.Cependant might appear as a defect is in fact its high quality: In addition to the fact that it will greatly improve the accuracy of the guitarist playing his instrument that works seriously, he transcribed absolutely every nuance of the game and gives an absolutely extraordinary expressiveness to guitare.Pour this conclusion on this race I would call demanding: it repels the bad guitar, but good like it a lot (I found out by having to try full of scratch)
Access to acute, that of a Start
Ergonomics: the average weight
gives you one easy to sound good? no further because the handle which I have mentioned the pickups are in the same vein: accuracy
SOUNDS
Style of music: blues mainly, but also jazz, funk and reggae.
the microphones are top quality: they are extremely accurate and translate all the nuances of the game, with very good dynamic sound is very pure and delicate (as opposed to the draft standard or strata texas special pickups such that I find were too strong almost artificial). we can finally note that crunches are beautiful and the largest loadings are never messy means that each note separately, and the guitar responds to quarter turn to the variations of Attack of the plectrum (a treat in blues with a good saturation moving from a subtle crunch to singing or screaming saturated with nothing but the intensity with which you attack the strings and a slight increase in the volume).
micro serious: plain, lowering his tone, his jazzy mellow tone up the clapping and singing her
serious micro and medium: variation of the position mentioned above but "dull", more adapted to the rhythmic
micro center: perfect for arpeggios in his clear, beautiful musicality
micro center and acute: in my opinion the only weak point of the skyscraper: the position is normally typical for the funk, he was obviously in contrast to other positions but I find it less excellent compared to classic strats
micro acute: it is true then the good surprise connoisseurs strats understand me, it is often the weak point of traditional strats, that's a little loud and musical, with the scratches at all, it was a dynamics and especially impressive, I repeat, MUSIC!
Finally, note the operating characteristics of the 2 tone knobs: one manages the acute of all positions of the selector and the second bass in the same façon.Ce is interesting about it is that can be used in the same way as the boost on this strats clapton and buddy guy (with a more measured course as the rest of passive electronic): for rhythm you put it in 7 / 8 and at go to solo it is put at 10, which is bigger sound (also very interesting within a solo add a little aggression and sustain additional times or you want to increase the intensity ).
I use this guitar with a hot rod deluxe (tube amp needed to bring out the qualities) and a budda phatman in overdrive; With this equipment the sound that comes closest to what I get is those of clapton on ridding albums with the king or the tribute to robert johnson
OVERALL OPINION
I have this guitar for the past 5 ans.Pour the record before it had a standard American Fender Start that I sold to buy an ovation, and no longer a Sheraton Electric (which is a dark shit by the way) I wanted to find a good strato.j 've tried the whole range of Fender American Classics at custom shops through signature patterns over several months, before falling on the g & l and there fell in love ! Compared to any Fender I find it much better (except for the custom shops). the quality / price ratio appears exceptional in light of what it costs the equivalent in fender custom shop (the g & l is 1500euros among fender count 1000euros more at least).
