Made in china. year 2009.
Basewood or alder body, C-shaped handle thinner than Fender (jumbo frets), alnico pickups very honorable requiring no change hardware store acceptable alloy undefined (block vibrato works corectement and tune the guitar but not too it is far from the performance of a Callaham block for example.).
Electronic settings for size and requiring no mods.
The controls are the same as the standard Stratocasters, the classic among classic.

UTILIZATION

It is for me to handle "great" success this guitar is a C finer than the standard Fenders, radius 9.5 with medium jumbo frettes.un handle so modern with a rosewood fingerboard homogeneous, all properly assembled.
perfectly round notch in the side by the mounting gap; provide the Chinese on this one ..
Candy apple red finish, beautiful, red is not really red dark red, the candy apple that I love.
Plate-and plastic element mint green (green worn ...), and always discreet class on a strat 60 '.

No cosmetic defect, superior finish to Mexican entry level and equal to the upscale Mexican guy Deluxe.

I put 9, is excellent in terms of build quality, finish.

SOUNDS

- The pickups do not have to be changed, they are simply good; mordants, expressive, relatively quiet for a strat ... their character is more modern than vintage I would say it is in the registry of the strat. U.S. standard and least side american vintage.
- The SONC lairs are dapper and claironnants with gloss and lanervosité position out of phase and a good dynamic direct sound.
The light-crunch is excellent ... (blues and rock ...), the output level is very honorable that smicros have juice but without the side of texas special, they are much clearer ....

OVERALL OPINION

Guitar-vacation that I re-discovered in every holiday, then, and I ended up back home permanently because too "good" to be ignored.
-I have a dozen strats from all backgrounds and range, including CS, believe me, the range has classic vibes of an extraordinary build quality and incredible value for money which makes it simply inevitable this award.
Try it practically buy ....
I play through a good tube amp, I therefore confirm that the instrument is perfectly balanced in the state and has a truly beautiful stamp.
and with this kind of guitar, steers right and left are affordable without fear of being bitten / damaging a great guitar price.
So a weapon to do everything, play without breaking the bank.
