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.
