Channel has the typical 'LEO FENDER', it was well in hand, happiness. Indonesian manufacturing. hooping nickel, watch the jumbo frets are pretty, ie large. 22 frets, key palissandre.Petite precision, the nut seems always to bone (ah Leo!). The superb mechanical, precise, flexible.
the vibrato is on 2 axes, metal blocks so important sonoritéesmmmmmmmmmmmm !!!!!:) Attention on the side of the tremolo block is a small screw clamp tight it takes to burn the vibrato of 2 for deep grooves that he falls over, but especially after having done so, put a cover (Scotch or otherwise) to the input of said small screws or you'll both perdre.Une the two grooves made on the vibrato, it no longer falls Thus the screw can not remained tight.

UTILIZATION

Access to the treble is still difficult when you have used a PRS Allender (ie 24 cases) fitted with microphones Wolftone 'DRvintage', but my fender strato usa (also mounted microphones Wolftone) is the same . the handle is very pleasant, but remember that the fender is pretty hardy so 'must go', as said Jeff Beck, a stratum, or b. you did ... or she will b ... :)
I have to practice this guitar used:
Blackstar pedal has a dual lamp (thus suitable for console output) (console Phonic)
1 rack preamp Mesa Boogie V twin (2 lamps) (on Phonic)
A distortion pedal on Vox Bulldog different amp (peavey, marshall, fender)
Marshall has a 100w lamps

SOUNDS

the sonoritées? you love her when the blade was hendrix? you feel like the depth of your blues? and you have nothing against country music, hard to see Deep Purple? you'll be happy:) (heu!! you have nothing against funk, soul, and bossa:))
Precision: there are 3 potentiometers
1 volume
2 bass / treble that more and push activates the 2 microphones opposed (bass / treble)
March 1 booster low / medium, very effective clean when you want to improvise without saturating ^ ^
The pickups are outstanding power, the size of the blocks must be for many.
vibrato, a real treat that works even without disturbing the new guitar.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had it one month and I admit I fell in love (especially at this price:))
I need to look
A fender strato usa (neck Anniversary 90 'fender body 80', micro Wolftone 'flashback)
1 PRS Allender
is very simple I made a mistake !!!!! I immediately bought another G & L, Carvin telecaster special (micro soapbar)

honestly and sincerely, you want to feel the sound of a 'serial', have a true George Fullerton / Leo Fender in your hands is that the
