I do not know what it's mini-strat, mine (as a travel guitar) Squier Affinity is a red mini factory in China, and bought 1050 Francs in 2001.

20 frets, 3 single pickups config. Strato is all quite impressive and classic ... I think ...

Bridge-tailpiece fixed bridges 6 (as it was being said?) Spars and apparently of good quality.

Rglages conform to current stratos std: slecteur 5 positions, 1 volume knob, and a knob-Tone.

The handle, even if it has only 20 boxes is not bad at all: round the back and comfortable, it fits in the palm enjoyable, even if the LORD and prominent heel angles invites himself once again a little abruptly when the mood just play a bit in the treble (I have no great pognes that can override allgrement) and it really repels me dtail vis--vis the Fender even if I recognize that they also have quality standards.
Finally, as I always did in this case the (low Chres with guitars, do not worry) I plane itself - trs carefully all the same - the heel to obtain access s with acute OPTIMAL, and my good friends, as usual ', it works! The handle does not move and no way I reach the high notes dsormais fingers in the nose (yes, I trs fort!) And I could get the 10/46 with no problem.
By against the frets are well feel a little on the edges of touch, but nothing excessive. I would put 8 in the amlioration cash acquired in the treble.

UTILIZATION

Ergonomic handle so enjoyable and well finished except Access in acute pain in the neck (even if it is not they who play, I grant you) because of heel not discrete and it just seems to me even if I have some oprer rglages to make it perfectly oprationnel (rglage the neck and action, I also grind of the screws of bridges that taient high enough and therefore tended hang the hand during the game).

The ergonomics is pretty fantastic for a small size (like a little + or - 1.60 m) because they are the same measurements with the strato dcoupe and chamfer (stomach and forearms), but with a body Reduces more but can not be forgetting, lightweight but body-even when consisting ... must be proportional to the same effect Poppa Chubby from its own strat ...

What is stunning to me, it sounds typical strato base (Obviously not what n'st Eric Johnson) did everything honorable: Flut found that grain-smooth micro-sleeve like Hendrix played, ct the incisive and not a set back from the high, the micro-environment appears to me right but I do not know of any good fawn ...
By careful I test against all of the hardware and amateur j'value hardware such as hardware that travel amateur (with Hughes and Kettner Tube 20, Drive 10 watts to play everywhere, Polytone ), there is even the sounds of classical noise and microphonics, my rating reflects for me the plane heel otherwise it would be 7.

SOUNDS

It is suitable for my style of music she used mainly dlier my fingers to play in groups, which once it has been my guitar parts with the Hughes and Kettner Tube 20 strong enough volume (large enough dry riffs) and the amp sounded good caregiver by not playing in the clear this time the.
I think you can get all the sounds strato basic (including pickups neck and bridge much convincing for me), sr good, the price, with a little noise and microphonics, but one who knows customize arrange all this in an instant or almost).

OVERALL OPINION

Acquired in 2001 in order to travel and play anywhere I play it occasionally to make it "work", a guitar in its cover and borders that do not age in the game it's sad; I love the look and sound at all - Fidler made the spirit of the original, I would have AIM over the edges of boxes and frets lgrement more discreet (but let's not forget its original price!), I carrment less prominent heel stick to that if I did not have my own plane (... sorry, his own) I l 'would have sold dj long time it is. I had seen other small guitars, but their price lev more silent and I just wanted a guitar "travel" little prs correct, I find the quality-price ratio trs good for the fan strato absolute, with the exprience I resume without that damn heel, otherwise I would try everything else of the same with at least 22 boxes. And Access in a super sharp, because we have too many boxes dj play this type of MODEL Reduces more so if more is to reach the last galre res! on the other hand ... no doubt that the pickups would probably not as RACS. We must see what we want privilgier.
