Best value:
Excellent
Manufacture: USA
AlNiCo 3 pickups such classic Strat
5-way switch
just like a fender except the handle is a bit wider: slightly confusing at first but got used to it very quickly and there are a great playing comfort
G & L vibrato: more stable than a Fender, do almost no guitar out of tune (the same time I use it too ...)
UTILIZATION
As I just said the handle is original and very enjoyable.
The shape is stratabound, in other words the perfect shape (it's so beautiful!)
The finishes are excellent! Both the quality of Fender USA continues to decrease every day at this level (sometimes it approaches the finish Gibson is saying ... ^ ^) as G & L continues to maintain an excellent finish.
SOUNDS
So the sons, it was spanking:
vacuum, it resonates with his whole body (especially when playing an E on the D string at the 14th fret ...)
in its clear its a pure strat, this casserole well, although it twang, ... crystal clear, extremely dynamic.
in full: it's still clean and I do not see blast (at the same time I play so flat at low volume ^ ^)
The volume knob is very responsive: it is enough to increase it to really boost my sound: saturation and dynamics are well respected at every level of volume
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for 4 months
I recommend it to anyone wanting to buy his first Strat USA: better value than Fender, and plus it makes you someone original ^ ^
I would do a thousand times that choice!
After I moderate some comments that can be seen like "this is the same as the Fender custom shop": it remains to be seen (or rather hear) and compare ... But it is clear that if G & L had a custom shop, it would be much higher than the Fender ... (No, no I have no work at G & L, it's just that their guitars are too good and not too expensive)
