UTILIZATION

The neck is just perfect.
ACCESS TO acute is correct .. as a stratum
the ergonomics are perfect too.
sonne.elle this guitar is really superior to standard models

SOUNDS

I play rock, blues, hard, pop, and sometimes a bit jazzy
the microphones are of extreme versatility.
this will sound to vintage style sounds big gibson
a volume up to 7 are obtained with the vintage sound typical grain
beyond 7, the sound is more modern and that one starts the boost, it goes to the very big sound
to be honest, I have had dozens of stratos and I 'liked not noiless but we must recognize that they sound on this guitar
I currently use a Peavey Classic 30 with baffle extension closed.
wha vox, barber direct drive ss barber compressor, visual sound h2o chorus and for delays in the effects loop

OVERALL OPINION

It's been a year since I have
I like the vintage look (6 screw vibrato, mechanical KLUSON, the profile of the handle soft v) and both modern (radius of 9.5, access to the truss rod without removing the handle, the 22 boxes, electronics)
what I like least, the color! (black) I 'm am a bit tired although the aesthetic is very successful ... but that is chosen to clapton!
The value for money is very good. (I have bought in Germany)
as I have said previously, I have had every type of stratum 20 years (60 custom shop, closet 60, and beck clapton signature, signatures series clapton, jeff beck, SRV, 60 reissue, true vintage 66 ... a real madness!)
this guitar is a successful synthesis of everything that was realized with the Fender Stratocaster for 50 years.
