Made in China
Squier bridge,
Modern C maple handle 21 boxes
6 mechanical Squier
3 pickups Squier Custom,
and finally a setting with 3 knobs and a 3-position selector.

I'm pretty satisfied with the characteristics of the beast in general although I highly recommend a change of mechanical and bridge as soon as possible for an outfit for the perfect agreement. I would not put that 7/10 to all because I had the bad surprise to break the arm vibrato Squier original on the second day! (So ​​for strength, we revert) Apart from that the violin is very good.

UTILIZATION

A very nice handle, it is mainly why I bought it at the base. Access to acute is worthy of the great strats and found this charming dug everything you want in a Stratocaster. The sound is great, I especially love the neck pickup even if I changed the original pickups for Strat Hepcat '69. Its weight is quite ok, no complaints above, the balance is good, I move a lot on stage and ergonomics fits perfectly in my game scene.

SOUNDS

When I bought it, I was (still am) a fan of AC / DC, yet she tapped me in the eye especially for its side and slamming hot rhythm it can provide. I play on a small Vox Pathfinder 15, and it sounds terrible. I play without effects most of the time even if a good overdrive and a delay is cool from time to time. It is great for everything funk, rock and blues. But this is after the change of pickups it has become divine for me.

OVERALL OPINION

I for 1 year, I tried full of guitar models before this one, SG, Les Paul, and lots of other stuff but this one stood up to the standard Mexican strats as if nothing ' was! I'm not saying they are worse than the Squier because every guitar is different. So frankly for value for money (I got 220 euros new) is top notch, the look Olympic White with creams microphones and bronze plaque is huge. I'm in love with this guitar though I've tried lots despite my young age! I would do this choice with his eyes closed! Classic Vibe tear!
