UTILIZATION

The handle is simply fabulous. I had a bunch of good guitars (strats, Les Paul and others) and that it is largely the comparison. The frets are perfectly fit and comfort is total.
No problem with Access in acute correct weight balance and good standing as sitting.

SOUNDS

The sound is crystal clear to the crunch slammin like SRV. on the other hand, no place for aggressive saturation. It is truly right in the single coil.
So, to blues and rock, stratiennes uses.
the neck pickup is warm and idalie slamming and lights with an amp, it was quick to take to Steve Ray and Jimmy. Taking only APRS, hey, there's fingers ...
So a typical instrument for which the flexibility is not the word-matre. But, hey, it's a choice. I also possde Lag Roxanne Bedarieux made in this pair and allows me to scan large.
10, therefore, despite the versatility, but must also have a guitar of characters, and you strive to do everything, many are in that medium.

Last day of 15/05/2005:

I changed the micro acute for a Di Marzio Malmsteen (on the advice of a fellow owner of a music store), and frankly, it gives the guitar the only small thing that, according to my needs, he lacked : saturation in finer grain and a little more harmonic. Dnaturer all without the appearance of the beautiful.

Even happier then, but .... that the output level of the microphones of origin is lev! A ct Di Marzio seems almost loan. I'm really laying APRS glimpse of the new microphone.

I now have a pannel sounds really broad, and always the comfort of playing I can not let go, to my NWPD Lag I find now "rigid", while I swore more by it.

OVERALL OPINION

Despite (prjug origin Coren, the violin is really beautiful. Frne The body in the marshes, with a translucent varnish sunburst leaving the most beautiful effect apparatre wood grain and the handle and Saddle in the key are REALLY beautiful.

I had several strats (USD), a Japanese Squier, jou some Mexican, and the report of this qualitprix Tribute S500 is simply stunning. For ceusses who seek a stratum and that would not be obsessed with the Fender logo on their scratching, I can only recommend the test store. And I would be tonn they arrtent their choice on the stratum, had gard the quality of this guitar considering its price.

In my opinion, an extraordinary affair. Besides, I can not imagine what the US versions may have more, so the quality is great.

I would do without hsitation the same choice. And the worshipers of Lo, MR Start, they wonder what is meant by the initials G & L.

few frisouilles Aiges appears on the strings to box 15. I do not know if this is a questionable aging wood or just a matter of rglage. That said, my Lag, older, has not moved one iota in the same conditions of use.
In addition, I glimpse much later (shame) that troisime knob is not a tone, but can play the output gain. At bottom, big win, ideal for cruncher, the lower its more lightweight. Good, because prcisment the rduction gain by lowering the volume knob was causing a big loss of treble, making the sound too dull. When you are c.., It is c.. At the same time, I never quite understood what was the use of the Tone knobs on a skyscraper. Must be my ct Cro Magnon.
