When you get a new piece of Musical Gear... Be it hardware, software, rack-mount, stomp box, and so on... Put away the instructions aside from the set-up and throw the troubleshoot guide into the trash... Accidents and ignorance creates beautiful mistakes... (Jaco Pastorius : 1951 - 1987)

JAPANESE SUPERSTRAT



The original Strat’s 21 frets were expanded to 24; giving the player an increased range up to two full octaves. The body thus gained longer and more sculpted horns. Humbucking pickups were added to increase power and output, as well as offer tonal variations not before available on the original Strat. Perhaps most importantly of all was the heavy-duty tremolo system. This double locking design (originally developed by Floyd Rose) allowed for improved pitch return and a new era of players emerged who could drag sounds out of the new superstrat never before imagined.

Hooray.
It is back.
