Copy strato standard manufacturing cornnne (I believe): handle 21 frets, 3 single pickups, three pots, 5-way switch. A good point: Wilkinson vibrato type of knife (low action). The "particularity" of the skyscraper of the 90's silent Systm ATN, the intermdiaire of pots, allowed to have in thoriated Gibson type of sound / electro-acc/Tele ... In fact, the well pipe sr.

UTILIZATION

Channel correct, trs flat and broad. Quite comfortable and a lot of sustain. Finishing of the frets a bit tight.
As I said, the ATN Systm not working or hardly any. Should not be without electronic RVer!

SOUNDS

The sounds are similar to those made in a Strat Cor. A plus for positions 1 and 2 crystal 2 3 trs. I use most of the time they sound as clear (sounds Knopfler) on an H & K tube 20 with an Electro-harmonix rverbe.
Avoid heavy distortion, the pickups are not made for.

OVERALL OPINION

I fell for the look (table alder Flamm clear varnish + pearl pickguard fawn) and sounds out of phase. I have over ten years (bought around two thousand bales) and is like new. This is not the best copies Strat, it is clear, but the lightning lasts for a scraper rather than those for girls!
