    Manufactures in Asia!
    Simple vibrato Squier in 22 Cases (rare among Stratocaster!)
    HSS configuration is Humbucker, Single and simple.
    Volume 1 General and 1 Tone Gnrale slecteur with 5 positions (H. H SS + S + S. S).
    Micro okay for that price.


    USE

    A tire information I have 6 years of guitar and my tastes guitar of matter are (Les Paul, Stratocaster) and brands (Fender, Duesenberg, Lag ...). I allow myself to give an opinion on this small guitar to Get You Started in music is nice!
    For me, the handle is pleasant conditions polish lightly once or twice in order to improve your performance (I learned this maneuver in a guitar magazine !!!) Nevertheless the price is correct.

    For me, the handle is pleasant conditions polish lightly once or twice in order to improve your performance (I learned this maneuver in a guitar magazine !!!) Nevertheless the price is correct.
    The access to acute is relatively simple (strat shape requires) and the advantage of this model is the 22 box that quickly bend the 21!
    For sound I reversed the two single-coil pickups and it sounds dead for Rolling Stones! Finally you will without reversing the typical sounds of small fender priced version!
    The vibrato is simple and allows for some effects trmolo Nevertheless this is not a Floyd Rose and I can not do Van Halen very long time =)

    SONORITS

    Best with this guitar is to play with:
    To clean: Fender
    For the crunch: Fender, Marshall
    For distortion: Marshall, Hughes & Kettner
    Nevertheless friends is a strat! Even if this price and this configuration is rather versatile it will not make esprer Mtal death or other billeveses! Blues, rock, reggae are being and will be chases autoriss of land by this guitar.
    For my part I played on a Hughes & Kettner and Fender and G2 zoom and the result is nice.
    The Blues: 9/10 with modification.
    The Rock: 7/10
    Reggae: 9/10
    The Hard Rock 7/10.

    NOTICE GLOBAL

    I use it for 4 years, I had other guitars but it remains my first electric and more efficient !!!

    Today I am rather Les Paul Nevertheless it is good to have for concerts or studio a little versatile guitar that can dpanner! Where to Get You Started, it's a good solution because given the versatility that price go ahead and try it!
    Last a precision if I change is that I'm a little DIY and as after having bought I got pay another, I modified Squier without my mid-measures but now I regret only one thing: Do not have had rather!
    One important thing: Always try your future guitar "piss off" sellers because you come back often without buying. Sr be much of choice.

    Manufacturing in Asia

    22 frets (very very rare fender), rosewood handle
    the wood is basswood, the neck and body.

    type vibrato bridge has two screws (as if it was bought a floyd rose, gave a vibrato Stratocaster with a luthier)

    configuration is HSS pickups, the neck pickup and bridge pickup is not bad but the microphone through lack of dynamism.

    selector is a 5 position pickups, 2 knobs (1 volume, 1 tone)

    UTILIZATION

    the handle is nice

    the body and handle are perfectly balanced, a guitar is quite light compared to my Epiphone LP.

    access to acute easy

    SOUNDS

    to me to play, it's a great guitar. I play Satriani, of Hendrix, Van Halen's ect ...
    -For the neck pickup, the bass is good for playing Hendrix or Stevie Ray Vaughan
    -For the bridge pickup to the Van Halen, Steve Vai or Satriani, not bad, it lacks some midrange but still really pretty

    I play a lot no effect on a marshall amp MG30DFX (if it is with a dunlop cry baby, a MXR boost, overdrive, delay and reverb)

    I use the amp for two settings are saturated
    -Gain: 7 Bass: 8 Medium: 4 Treble: 4 Volume: 3 Short Delay: 3 (one of his close Satriani)
    -Gain: 8 Bass: 8 Medium: 4 Treble: 6 Volume: 3 Reverb: 2 (sound similar to Van Halen)

    OVERALL OPINION

    for 6 months

    yes, but on the ibanez

    it lacks a push-pull to split the bridge pickup, too bad

    or the price I had was more than interesting, but at the price or it can be found on the net like leboncoin is expensive.

    otherwise distort its good enough on the humbucker metal ke good his Deguelle pa tro his will
    by nTry pa against the distortion of the imple c ignioble we hear a noise was droiyt tt
    He also fo vibrato often settle if vou play because kon accord dessou hears resort resound

    OVERALL OPINION

    I am the User for 1 year and well ke jaime its handle his sound is really good because crappy pa ke ke is the metal in life (although I play mainly his) of koono ve done a pe of jazz and reggae blus c death that price I really mattendai a better lai I pay 290 euros and an Epiphone SG Special has 235 euro bought my guitar at his o so I choose to do it again pa

    -Made in China (or around ...)
    -22 Fret with Micro HSS configuration (single, single, humbucker) (good enough for his reggae, ska, blues, and I truove the sound for big sound and quite right too)
    Bridge-type "Floyd Rose" which for my part am not at all the tuning
    -1 5-way switch, 1 volume knob, a potentiometer tonalitée.

    UTILIZATION

    The handle and handle the game quite enjoyable in the acute and easily accessible (body fender strato ...) but does not do very well in his, uh ... the weight It suited me me ... using the Floyd is nil, I never managed to leave my tuning every faith that I had played with my floyd tuning that ran the galley and hello to grant Floyd!

    SOUNDS

    I play on a 15W Marshall amp and a pedal Berhinger "ultra distortion." The sound was good my little above my pedal with my config! I had a lot of power but not a good tuning!

    OVERALL OPINION

    The guitar itself beacoup me more when I played the permière both music store but what disappointed me so completely that floyd not want the road and as I have not enough money to invest in a good floyd, I decided to sell it and bought myself a "Lag RS200" (French brand), I am very happy with this guitar because I realized that I used floyd not much and thanks to its micro AlNiCo provides a warm and suited to my game (ska, metal). Personally I do not have that choice again to redeem myself this because of a squier Floyd! and the note depends primarily on the detail!

    - It n'tait rgl not well behind the easel t lev 2 meters and the strings of the handle, but a passage in the music store in the nearest you everything is finalized!
    - The painting has barr on the bort of the cavity and the micro switch (blue paint underneath, normal?). Short finish level is low rev range.

    SOUNDS

    - It is well suited my style of music I play mainly rock and metal. The clear sound, the distortion and crunch are ok. When I play the first solo master of puppet I think the sound is super nice (''insane''channel on my amp).
    - I played on an amp Line6 Spider II 30 Watt and I get good sound with the humbucker (the top are really not simple).
    - Dsacorde vibrato guitar, but otherwise it is good agreement if we do not have the bends zakk wilde: D.

    OVERALL OPINION

    - I use it for a little over a year
    - What I like most is well Vidament the handle, which I find super enjoyable (I jou a storm of a friend and a round beam c'tait ...! ).
    - The only guitars that I tried before a silent yamaha pacifica (whose handle is more lgrement bomb is the same shape, type strato) and a storm (with a super fine Corp. odd shape, but the handle c'tait a beam).
    - I think it costs 160 new maintenent so qualitprix the report is not bad, just be you have better luck finding a good RULES;).
    - With the exprience I have not chosen one but the ibanez (even thinner handle what seems).
    - APRS one year of practice, the grate does not satisfy me more, I'd like to have a level of something better, be more in gear to beginners.

    EDIT: There is a rdition of this model. A priori there are many amlioration, especially with a real floyd A test!
