First and foremost, you must know that I am a fan of stratum and with several models (fender (X2), blade) I Toujouse to recheche a stratabound but I do not have the means to SHUR buy ... EUR 5000
United States manufacturing
Body: Swamp ash (ash swamps) table dappled maple (quilted), blue burst finish very deep.
Channel 22 stained maple box "transparent blue", gloss, Fender Custom Shop logo (wow is not that right) ebony fingerboard, strips 6150 (jumbo). Profile C benchmarks pearl and graphite nut.
Configuration microphones:
virtual vintage (double stack) in neck
blue velvet di Marzio (single) (reversed polarity) in middle
Seymour Duncan (humbucker) SH4 JB in bridge
Selector Schaller (mega switch) in five positions:
1 - neck
2 - neck + midlle
3 - neck + bridge split
4 - middle + bridge split
5 - bridge not split
Wilkinson vintage easel
Mechanical sprezel
mirror plate
black hardware
Shielded cabling
UTILIZATION
Handle very nice, easy, a must in the genre, well above the fender when the setting of the action and the quality of the button, closer to a stratum or a blade ultra R4 / RH4, the best copies in my opinion.
Access to acute standart is a choice but that does not bother me.
Relatively large weight, but it's not a les paul, phew ...
The sounds come naturally, and the switch 5 positions a little unusual is not for nothing. Of course you lose the microphone middle one, but frankly with other guitars normally configured, it makes up for other opportunities.
SOUNDS
This scraper is perfect for me, whether in the studio with my preamp or amp (boogie mark 4), the sounds are perfectly defined.
The Di Marzio Virtual Vintage Stack in the neck position is incredibly powerful and versatile, it lets in light and transforms the game speak your attacks in light of the most pleasant crunch, with the middle sound is hollow and is ideal for arpeggios, providing both clarity gilmour type with possiilité effects to a level strong enough without distorting the grain ... it's mind-blowing!
The middle pickup is not used alone, I have no opinion on it, except for having mounted a classic strat config (std blade texas) it is very vintage and cool, but can be a little neutral for my taste.
The JB spit in the neck is fabulous, the best sounds are found carved in the stratum.
With the middle, it accentuates the mids without making the sound, the bass and treble crunchent slam ...
Finally, the JB one is no surprise, warm, powerful, harmonic out in short, all is well.
I have no sound on this really favorite skyscraper, all positions are interesting, but we must recognize that the most typed and therefore more attractive are the only neck and bridge only.
I do not hate anything, the range is really smooth.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for one month and after two months of installation / setup and tests I have to say that I am fully satisfied with my investment.
Only downside, the cost, relatively high, however:
Body: 459 euros
round 338 euro
fittings and microphones: 400 euros
What makes a guitar dream about 1200 euros (+ shipping and various VAT) imported in eight weeks and up (by myself ... oops!) In a few weeks ... but it's worth.
Two reservations, however:
1 - do not engage in this type of assembly if one does not feel the skills, and why do you hand over a Squier Stratocaster mex or example.
2 - the resale value of that even if there are logos and plaques (coronado custom shop) can in theory to scam to sell a custom must not be used for purposes other than the aesthetics of the instrument that finally make this beautiful shovel always be worth less in the opportunities that you have invested, much like a guitar maker.
