Needless to say, the famous guitar equally famous guitar squier model which refers to: the level of the visual, it is not in doubt, but the color of the microphones. The comparison stops there though.

Unless you fell ill, the quality of finishes is relatively blameless.

UTILIZATION

The handle is very nice, fluid.

The weight is consistent with the average weight of a strat: it is relatively light.

We find the écranchure a strat: sitting position is very nice.

All seems fairly balanced. The grip is natural. We focus immediately on the games.

Access to treble does not looks good strats of all: if you have trouble it is not the fault of the guitar.

Sound: see below.

SOUNDS

Sound issue, we are dealing with a real stratocaster. Its typical crystalline Fender sound, reinforced by the body basswood and maple neck. Question setting we find the great possibility of configuration and customization strats.

It said that price, do not expect miracles! It is a good strat but without much orginalité .... That said for the price, it's worth every penny.

The bridge pickup is not such a masterpiece. His nasal, a bit garish.

The other 2 microphones and all other intermediate positions give him very correct. Their output volume is not very high, but this is not necessarily the goal! This is a vintage guitar, tube amp improved performance.

OVERALL OPINION

About 1 year of use. No complaints.

In comparison, I recently tried two Mexican and American:
-Level sound quality, the difference with the Mexican standard is not significant enough! (This is the quality of the amp will make the difference if applicable)
-It changes with more upscale Mexican, including deluxe player ... more accurate ...
-The difference is of course very significant when we move to the U.S., much more typical.

The value is excellent for this model to a great success.

Suitable for a beginner and Intermediate level, perfect for progress.

Indonesian manufacturing quality honest. Good finishes. Maple neck 21 frets. Coprs in basswood (I think). Originally mlicros three Duncan Designed single coil in good order but before buying I had another project to upgrade with a SD Hot Rails bridge and a little to the handle 59

UTILIZATION

Handle very nice (see the site for Squier profile). This guitar has had its baptism of fire last week and proved light, pleasant to play. For sounds see below

SOUNDS

With the change of microphones (see above) this guitar is a rock ptite bomb. I also opted for a slightly heavier strings (0.09-0.46) Combinations of 59 or Hotrails with simple micro central (original) provide access to sounds that make this guitar versatile. These pickups only open the doors to sounds more than single coils péchus of origin could not offrir.avec a HT Dual eBlackstar can explore sounds ranging from blues to rock / hard rock.

OVERALL OPINION

performed in concert there is a esemaine, this guitar surprised me by holding the agreement (for a small shift to ultra fine sandpaper in the grooves of the nut) and it sounds ls sends a efois micro chan ges (which tend to prove that the violin is the road). Eventually j ecrois as electronics (knobs etc.) would benefit from being replaced for better components. Apart from that an excellent base for lovers of upgrade
