Published on 04/02/11 at 04:34
In which country was it made? (USA, Japan, Mexico, France ...)
That series 0 Japan of 1993 or 1994

What type of bridge (Floyd, Wilkinson ...)?
Bridge fender six screws (I think) I have not had a rod with vibrato (but usually they're crazy)
Small problem with the high E Mechanical she kidding but if not that the others hold very well agree.
What kind of stick?
C-profile maple neck

How many frets, what kind of microphone and their configuration? 21 frets
3 micros simple but it's not the original ones, fender or squier??
In any case it sounds =)

What are the settings (volume, tone, micro switch ...)?
5 position selector volume two tones (one for the neck pickup and one for the central) bridge pickup has no tone is what seems normal ...

Mine resseble than david gilmour ...


UTILIZATION

The handle is it nice?
Ultra comfortable I would say it has not changed one bit in 18 years is pretty impressive ...

Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)?
The alder body is a bit heavy, but meaningless (seated or standing) in it by it's very well balanced.

Access to acute (last string) Is it easy?
is not made for shred is obvious, but it's pretty easy to access;)

Do you get a good sound easy? ...
I tested it on a fender frontman 15g and it sounded very well already, and a tube amp is ecstasy ...

SOUNDS

Are they suitable for your style of music?
I play a lot of rock 60 and 70 years, it suits me very well.

What kind of sound you get and with what settings ("crystalline", "fat ",....)?
All background generally seen as the volume knob must be non-progressive at 8 to hear the guitar really clean channel. At different positions well it sounds like a Start, American can not be, but already a good Start ...

What are the sounds you prefer, you hate?
All positions are well except that the bridge pickup lacks a bit of fishing is a pity, I may be a change for a hot track days.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had it three days, I had previously tried another one Squier Stratocaster Arctic White 2 or 3 months before and it has been the trigger, you must not underestimate this set of instruments, some they poorly maintained over time, I think quite the opposite it gets better with time like wine ;-)
I paid 300 € may be that this is a bit expensive, but I do not regret ... I recommend it to anyone looking for a cheap strat correct, try one you will not regret it I think ...
