UTILIZATION

The handle has surprised me unique profile patent (that I changed my Godin summit), but very playable.
The ergonomics are excellent, this is my first strat and I'm not disappointed about the shape and weight, it is even lighter than my other guitar.
Sound, I have not tested other strat, but every mic has its own sound, it's simple, it means, the output level is correct, so far no change expected.

SOUNDS

Used with Zoom and vht amp lamps, I'm happy sounds obtained, I was very surprised initially sounds (association alder and microphones that simple exchange of mahogany / humbuckers!), I have decrease the tone of the amp, now I'm used to it.
I leave aside the references are not wedged in there very but I found sounds known.

OVERALL OPINION

Purchased in aout2012 B stock in toto by vpc, it was a demo model, so already played and set a few scratches on the pickgard. I did not know what she would and I was very surprised at the quality of all for the price. I do not foresee any changes at this time, preferring kept this guitar as it is.
If you buy a model "classic vibe" squier is also to be in the mind.
I made this choice, it is a recent opinion, I reparlerais a few times maybe.
