oedipoes's Music Gear Setup

This is a great Stratocaster. It says MX, but in direct comparison to a 1972 Strat and a 1964 Jaguar, this ons holds its ground. After a good tune-up it played just as well as the vintage Fenders. Of course the sound is no where near the originals. The poplar veneer seems awkward to me, it didn’t need it at all imo. The coil split humbucker disappoints as humbucker, convinces as single coil. The bridge pickup is great. All in all, I think the guitar is good, but not awesome, hence one star down. When I have the opportunity, I’ll buy a better strat maybe. For now this will do just fine for home practicing.
