Mine is made Indonésie.Pas reproach on the finish, intonation is set at the factory. The handle had to undergo a slight adjustment of alignment, nothing bad with age and I'm getting picky!
Hence the interest to buy in the store: the small problems are resolved quickly between humans.
Brief description of the beast: ash body, maple neck with 22 frets maple key reported, vibrato to 2 pivot points (with action in both directions), 3 single-coil pickups, mechanical oil bath, 3 potentiometers adjusting volume, treble 1 filter, 1 filter + 1 serious push-pull to put together bridge + neck pickup (his telecaster typed) or all 3 pickups together, and finally a selector 5 positions.L all is well finished and homogeneous , the only downside plastic nut that I will personally replace it with a model roller (it has a negative impact on sound and limit the use of good vibrato, the strings slipping badly in their throats)
UTILIZATION
The neck suits me parfaitement.Sa satin finish does absolutely no hand brake, unlike some vernis.Ce is not a guitar that I would call light but its weight is quite raisonnable.L ergonomics is excellent, only the thickness of the heel a little surprised at first (but we made it very quickly). The frets are not super thin but it guarantees a good intonation bends notes and accurate! We find obviously a strong resemblance with a Start sound (in G & L L is for Leo Fender) but a little dirtier and less crystalline personally what I love.
It is intuitively "the" sound.
SOUNDS
I play on a small tube amp (Laney VC-15) in a register blues / rock.Comme said before the sounds are more "dirty" with a Start, but they are to die for! ! Anything goes: arpeggios, funky pots, and even hard rock (Type 70's to Led Zep or Deep Purple). The pickups have a high output level and a good définition.Je advise all those interested in this model of try on a amp lampes.On feels all the organic side of the instrument and you can really play the attack on the strings.
OVERALL OPINION
I have this guitar for a month (before it jai have different models and various strat Japan, Rockline Lag, Lag Roxane). It summarizes what I wanted: a Start but with microphones with a high output and vibrato 2 points.Le U.S. model is great for me but off budget. This series Tribute weigh a relative price and quality.
The only changes I will bring to this guitar is a change of saddle and possibly the replacement by mechanical locking Sperzel (with that tuning is perfect).
Buy with your eyes closed (but open ears!), It's all good. Case
