- In which country was it made?
"China" is marked behind the head
- How many frets, what kind of micro as well as their configuration?
21 frets, 3 single pickups vintage alnico 3
- What type of easel
Simple bridge, Vintage Start
- What are the settings
2 tones and one volume: a strat what ...
- What type of race?
Maple + gloss polyester varnish well!
UTILIZATION
- The handle is it fun?
A background! ultra slamming it glides well, it is beautiful but soon we see the dirt ...
- Access to acute (recent freight) is it easy?
As a Start: Up to 17 tranqille, I try not to go higher
- Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)?
Rather light with the "groove" of a layer to the ergonomics perfect (not like a tele)
- Gets it easy to sound good?
I play on a behringer preamp, full of effects and simulations (VAMP2) with a ts7, connected directly to the stereo. The settings are mostly on the preamp, not the guitar.
SOUNDS
- They are suitable to your style of music?
Well, I play mostly blues rock (Hendrix, Clapton, SRV, John Mayer), but it happens to do more rock stuff! (Power chords ...) and the distortion is pretty good!
- With what (s) amplifier (s) or effect (s) do you play?
Always a bit of reverb, often with a little boost to ts7
- What kind of sound you get and with what settings ("crystalline", "bold ",....)?
This gives a super clean very strat through the micro (position 2 and 4), a good crunch on the characteristic of the micro environment, an excellent thing between crunch and clean on the neck pickup (ultra feature!) And a distortion correct on the bridge pickup.
- What are the sounds you prefer, you hate?
The cleans-middle position (it looks a bit like something in Wait Until Tomorrow "by Hendrix (Axis: Bold as Love)
-The neck pickup for blues solos in the Clapton / Hendrix / Mayer (the solo "Belief" in Continuum!)
-The bridge pickup for rhythm rock (power chords)
In addition to the pickups are fairly quiet so no sounds "hateful"!
OVERALL OPINION
- How long have you use it?
1 year
- What is so special that you like most and least?
The +: The handle slamming hot!
The -: The plate on the back useless as all strata (had to put something!)
- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
Yes, Tele and affinity squier standard home (too rock for me!), Fender Mexican Start (more expensive and less!).
- How would you rate the quality / price?
€ 324 in store with free maintenance for life! : Not really big compared to a Mexican Stratocaster (neck less beautiful, less beautiful finishes) to nearly € 500 if not more ...
- With experience, you do again this choice? ...
Altogether! It is exactly what I want (and more it looks like that of Clapton on "Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs"!)
