-. Made in Japan in the Fujigen factory, but reserved for the US market (Fender USA then suffered quality problems and above its standard Stratocaster faced competition from superstrate Jackson, Carvin and ESP The decision was made to react by producing an instrument fast neck and equipped with powerful dual microphones to attack attack style more "nasty" while preserving its legendary "Fender".
- What surprises on the guitar is its weight, it is much heavier than a US Strat.
This is due to mahogany body in one piece which gives a much better sustain the alder US
- Brass vintage vibrato with all the bridges burned Fender, it makes a lot of spin and do not tune the guitar.
- Very precise mechanical oil bath engraved "made in japan"
- Ultra fast neck with very low action much better finish than the sleeves US! Ideal for leads.
- Micro Humbucker US Fender LEAD II
Please note that this instrument is not a pale copy of Stratocaster is a wholly guitar, sold to the rather expensive era (the price of a US standard, but without the case). This fender telecaster is much higher in violin and accoustillage to USA fender.
USE
The handle is in the tradition fender but thinner and with a very gentle touch, fingers slide easily to the latest cases, I play twice as fast with Ultra Contemporary with my strat.
The guitar is a bit heavy (because of mahogany), but it allows him to have an unknown until then sustain a Fender. The notes are really long.
With a toggle switch 3 difficult position of not finding a good sound.
We can play the blues on the neck pickup, funk, mid and pickup. So much for the clean sounds.
What is amazing is that we have the sound "FENDER3 despite humbuckers.
SOUNDS
On the clean channel, we can do many things. Microphones albeit double lens and give a very balanced sound. The neck pickup gives a rather round sound, but also kind Gibson set, the middle position allows playing arpeggios kind Purple Rain when the pickup, it really sounds like that of a jaguar, or a strat but beefier.
In overdrive, the neck pickup is puncher, perfect for blues, power chords, the neck pickup possess an incredible bite, one can make stoniens riffs, the sound is huge.
Saturation is Star Wars, the sustain is amazing, the demonic attacks, saturation flow like honey or otherwise can become very aggressive as positions. Van Halen, Hendrix, this strat starts where others stop!
NOTICE GLOBAL
I buy this guitar in 1986 in the USA, Funk, Blues, Hard, no style that can not be played with this guitar.
If you are a fan of the Strat but find your scratches a bit feeble for punchy rock, this contemporary strat is the tool for you! It has the comfort and feel fender with potato and more!
Well, it's a rare item, well above the US strat for hard rock but also as a violin. Level prices, japan Strat 80s are starting to be a bit expensive, but that's normal, it is much higher in the US today and yesterday (except for L series and signatures), but one can still find around 500 euros, in ten years they will cost 1500 euros so if you find one in good condition, please, this is the perfect partner for a standard strat. It is far superior to Kramer, Charvel, Jackson and other species. The soloists will appreciate especially.
