UTILIZATION

The handle is very nice, relatively thin and therefore very fast. It is of form "C".
Key glides well, though in a few years it starts to be a little less pleasant, but it's still very correct.
Access to acute I find it perfect, it sure is not an Ibanez, but I have no complaints on that side, except perhaps when we look for the 19-20 ° boxes in the rope low E, but it's not every day you did it ^ ^.
In terms of ergonomics, all the guitars I've experienced is the best: very comfortable when playing sitting down, not like a Les Paul, part of which you fit uncomfortably in the ribs, not like a fly that one is forced to stall enter his legs, there to be seated, the Stratocaster is the most comfortable. To play it up is fine too, not really heavy (4.8kg) and well balanced, the handle does not sting the nose as soon as the loose. I usually played between two Single Coil and I must admit it is nice to have room under the strings when doing solos and some fingers are placed on the plate below the strings. It fits almost all types of games, the handle as I have said is very comfortable and fast, it's easy to play on it, can be a bit too much.
At the sound, we already feel much more than this guitar is not worth a fortune. Already, we regret the absence of a band 22 °, yet often used, this feature is specific to the Affinity series. To obtain the desired sound, I confess I wade a lot on my amp, but looking good is what we seek, but that side is not the best I've experienced.
In his clear, it sounds good on the single coil, after the humbucker I want to say it's a matter of taste. Small flat in concert quite disturbing, the clear sound is much higher than the humbucker on the single coil, so when we move from a clean to a distorted sound, the difference is huge.
In the saturated output level is basically the same on all 3 pickups, but there is a horrible buzzing on singles, so that I always use the humbucker. From this side it proves quite versatile, but we quickly shows its limits: metalheads go your way, we revert to have a nag her worthy of the name. In fact, when we hear anything else, it passes. But when we tested a Les Paul Supreme in the same amp, that's where we start to cry. Anyway, to start, it's still an excellent choice.
I put 7 / 10 because the material also show its limitations pretty quickly, but for beginners it is really good, for the same price range I recommend this guitar to beginners widely rather than Tenson.

SOUNDS

Unfortunate first point: the sounds are not suitable to my particular style of music. However, when I bought it I was beginning the biggest or most of the world, I was looking for a cheap guitar and I had not chosen style. Now that my world is surrounded by Metallica, Coheed & Cambria, and others Bullet For My Valentine, I must admit it's not the guitar for me.
But to play Led Zep ', Pink Floyd, or even Guns', it is very suitable for beginners.
I played on two amps: a Marshall MG15CDR First, a good amp in itself but which also shows its limits. Even more than mine I recovered, and the gain knob is broken with distortion, and of course the gain is fully ... This gives her an unbearable, but it's still Marshall sound anyway! In contrast, clear sound is a little gem, I found wonderful ally in my Squier. I went on a Behringer V-Tone GMX 210, which is not 60 watts as indicated by all sites but 120 Watts. In terms of its clear, I regret a little my Marshall, but the overdrive sound is a marvel. The possible settings are great and we get the final out to ring the Squier. I do not use effects because the V-Tone offers a panel.
In clean sounds, you come to get some variations, but I find the amp side is fairly limited, while the guitar provides a lot of differences, particularly following the microphones. The Sustain is average, but not bad either, but the sound remains clean.
With distortion is the opposite, the guitar offers only few adjustments but this is where the receiver takes over: the crunch to overdrive the maximum, we have almost everything, being limited by the lack of punch microphones. Forget about the distorted sound on the single coil, and you do not rely entirely on vibrate very heavy riffs, the guitar will not follow. But otherwise, she obeyed without hesitation the finger and the eye.
I love the clean sound on the middle pickup, but its too low output level makes it virtually unusable in concert, especially if you play the same piece of saturated passages. The sound on the saturated single is simply horrible, but the humbucker it comes to having things a lot by spending time on his amp.

Again I put 7 / 10 because the material is quite good without being excellent, and despite its limitations for sounds very saturated, it is fairly versatile.

OVERALL OPINION

I have this guitar for exactly 18 months now, and it is still going strong today.
I love its versatility, its look since I've painted, so that basically I do not particularly like strats, like anything with a little creativity can make anything beautiful ^ ^. Access to acute surprised me for such a guitar and is one of his best points. She would much rather the tuning, although over time it is less obvious, however I have the key to the G string is starting to have a little play, which makes this rope very sensitive when bend it: it goes out of tune pretty quickly. In contrast, less like his inability to leave the big sound, but after all it is not specifically made for that.
I have tried only one guitar before this one was a Warriors, so do not tell you how much I liked the Squier!
The value, I have one word to say about it: amazing! For a guitar that is now worth about 200 €, it's a choice to make your eyes closed: in this price range you will find very few guitars as good as this one, but if you have a little more, n Do not hesitate to raise the bar higher, especially if you plan to play Hard-Rock/Métal.
With experience, I think I would do this choice, but if I had to take into account limits to what is more "hard" and also that this is exactly what I play, I think I would take a most suitable model.
A good guitar in short, to get started. But with experience, it's time to move on.
Personally, I see the Gibson Les Paul Zakk Wylde Bullseye.
