OVERALL OPINION
Hello, for the price, this guitar is a small killing ... While the woods are not very good, but the guitar sounds good and has a good sustain. The pickups have a lot of presence and energy, this is the most surprising, she did not blush at the comparison with my other strats (one of 79 US with microphones and a recent rise in US 95 Duncan antiquity ...).
The hardware is okay but the Squier standard, which means that we can not replace the bridge for an American model because the distances are tighter in Squier and the screw holes do not match. That said the bridge-vibrato is correct and works fine once set. The weakness lies in the mechanical, unreliable but it is possible to replace. The nut hangs a bit when using the vibrato, but you can lubricate the grooves (with a graphite grease for example) or even slightly to correct the problem. At that price, no miracle in regard to the violin, the knockouts of embedding microphones are sloppy, so you get a "stoned-pool" made in a hurry. The same goes for the handle to get high, not very "clean", but once the guitar rising, it is invisible and inconsequential. The maple neck is pretty cheap, however the key rosewood is very correct and well done is shrinking. The touch is nice, fairly accurate intonation and the action can be set low enough without problem frieze. The body is made of an unidentifiable wood (basswood glued?) Given the opaque lacquer that covers it, but is very light and sounds good. Note, the thickness of the body is slightly lower than that of a Strat "standard", which reduces the guitar and has undoubtedly enabled Squier savings. Finally, a good guitar, which sounds great on a good amp. Nothing to say at this price ...
