Just when we experienced the JV and SQ series, we go back, this is the same level
It is a strat and I said that I do not like strats, but it has taped me, I tried in the store on a ibanez amp compared Fender american standard and classic vibe. I may offend but the standard was rotten like all strats I've tried in my life and the classic vibe, I was in another world. The handle perfectly set, not the standard, better quality wood. It is clear that micors CV are less powerful but do not buy a strat for powerful micors, I personally have EMG81/85, blackouts, seymour (SH13, sh4), gibson 498. But what its fine! Beautiful.

UTILIZATION

HANDLE: excellent
ERGONOMICS: mild, it seems to me that it is smaller than other strats
ACCESS TO ACUTE: good for a strat, this is not an ESP 24 cases but this is not what is asked
SURPRISE: very good set, strings of satisfactory quality

SOUNDS

I bought it to play vintage, and it's perfect, I think a guitar with such a period it must be in the € 5,000. I intend to try a typical 50 us to actually see the difference and if it is good I will save, if I say nice things steps and I will redeem a CV which I ascend SP custom or something genre. American standard strat is happening everywhere disgusting and it is with this that I compared, skyscraper without personality. I am looking for the vintage in a skyscraper or send it to death between the two is to throw, but I recognize that most guitarists seeking a compromise, which explains the number of rotten guitars on the market. For the vintage is perfect

OVERALL OPINION

I did that today, but since I played 30 years on many TV and fender strat, and the best for me are the classic vibe and Squier SQ series (which I sold as a wholesale cn ). The Southwestern fender japan or us it is shots bowls. There are not huge differences between Squier and fender or so surprising style today as the best squier with the standard, then I do not know the custom shop, so I can not say anything, but after for esp for example (not elite ltd I do not know), the species are really above ltd, I have a ltd with blackout, it is very far below my emg esp mirage.
What I like is that this is a very good guitar. After I see for mechanical, but considering the price, even if I have to change, there is nothing to say. I listened to a lot of surfing and vintage stuff, no strat that I had tried this grain, overall I found them bland and goes everywhere, the major drawback of strats elsewhere. With it you will not send the violent but if you add a little reverb cathedral, a memory and a boy electro harmonix pog you will be transported into another era
