Profile Black Magic

All black Strat copy. MIJ. The logo looks typical eightis. 21 frets. Solid wood body, the best ive seen really. It really sings when you knock on it. One difference is that there is no hole for the jackplate in the body. The neck is also the best ive seen as a matter a fact. Usually I set the action to the lowest possible without getting to much fret buzz. On this one I havent really tested the "limit" since its so low its silly, and still no buzz!
The original pickups and electronics came in a plastic bag. A workmates son had ripped it a part so they gave the whole "junkpile" to me rather then just throw it away. I thought it was just a cheap copy but have come to realize its a pretty good guitar, at least body/neck.
Ive fitted a new scratchplate with Fender Highway1 Alnico PU:s.

Im just using around the house.
Sounds fairly ok but something is wrong with the new wiring I did so I have to redo it. I have a feeling it could sound pretty good.

As I said, the action is outstanding. The finish is black satin, body and neck. Its got a lot of dings and nicks but it sort of adds to the character I guess.

If it was worth anything I might sell/trade it but since its virtually unknown (in sweden at least) its not worth it, especially considering the relatively high quality of body and neck. Its too good to let go for "coffe-money".

21 frets, 3 pickups, 5 way pickup selector, medium jumbo frets, red with a black headstock, probably Gotoh tuners, has Made in Japan on neckplate, A 5 piece solid wood body, output jack on pickguard, basically it's a Fender Stratocaster Standard 2nd copy (1983 and 1984, output jack on pickguard).

The standard pickups are not that great so it's best to replace them.
Very ice pick in the ear trebly sound.
After I changed the pickups to some Fender Lace Sensors I had lying around it sounded pretty good and I was able to get some good strat sounds.

The neck has a good feel to it and is well made.
All the rest of the guitar (bridge etc) is pretty good.
The action was ok after a bit of adjustment.

It's pretty well made and will withstand the usual guitar abuse.

None.

Overall it's not that bad sort of like a Squire.

From Japan of course. 23 fretter, with three single coil pickups. I must say that for the solid body and almost homecrafted feel of it the string through body, bridge is coming right off the body. still very playable. three knobs. two tones, and volume. not a bad little guitar. But not one I would spend more than $100 for.

It sounds very used, even new. It has a nice enough sound, but You have to play through a good pedal and a good amp to get anything decent out of it. I like it or a back-up. Well it will be when I get my new one at least. Untill then I will play it till it breaks.

Not much to say. I repainted it and refinished it. also replaced the neck. Very mass produced feel and look to it.

The hardware is no name basically. But whomever mass produced it has been doing it for a while. I have played the balls off this guitar and it's still kickin. what a peice of work.

wouldn't have a clue.

My black Magick was made in Japan which i assume is ok... 21 frets 3 single coil pickups harwood body with probably a treated wood finish with black fingerboard. Has two knobs volume and tone with a threeway pickup switch. Black nech and head with black with silver fretboard. Its a genuine copy :) of the strat that is... the body wood finish looks and feels good. The only bad thing is that the previous owner put a stupid decal on the black fretboard (cool man ....yeah sure)

The sound at times can be a bit harsh and cluttered depending how you play. Its not completely clean and high up on the frets you sometimes get some twang. Am using it with a tko peavy amp and although its a bass amp the eq can be chnaged to get the max out of the guitar. It has more of a full sound bending towards being a little bright as well. On singular string riding inc finger picking for a srat copy it works suprisingly well. I would however play this one thouroughly as you may think on the contrary. Try before you buy...

Wowee , for such a guitar the action is actually very good. Riding the strings and getting the yawn and bend sound out is very smooth indeed. Considering its a copy i was in fact pleasantly suprised. Pickups were a little low initially but after a bit of easy adjustment it was all fine. Finish is nice and the frets are perfect no bad notes. Only flaws was its apparent length of life a bit of oxidisation here and there but now where near the valuables. After purchasing i opened it up to just get the jist of the internal mechanics. All was well laid out and it seemed to be iinternally very reliable.

This guitar will stand up to live perforance and gigging jamming whatever well enough. The lasting nature of the wood body tells me that this guitar is a stayer. I think however no doubt that there are better guitars out there but for a first time buyer or someone who needs a backup this is a good guitar to consider. I can depend on it as it seems rugged enough.

Never had the pleasure of dealing with whoever made this guitar:)

Would consider buying again or looking for something similar. The guitar for this price is a very good buy. I love its actions and finish and it does the job. I think ill keep it forever. The only thing i wish it didn't have was that stupid decal. Its so bad that im considering getting another fretboard.

It was probably made in Portugal. It's the POS guitar that I got to learn on. I'm desperately hoping for a new ax this X-mas. It's 21 frets solid top with one volume and tone pot, and a three way toggle switch, with three pickups. Its a basic strat copy, black headstock, neck, body, pickguard. Although its a basic strat copy I like the colour, and from a distance I could probably fool a dumbass, so there ya go.

I play all kinds of metal and rock, horribly. It's not too noisy, with a warm sound, it handles different kinds of distortion averagely, not great but not bad.

It has really good action, the pickups were adjusted fine, and the construction of the guitar was fine. There were no flaws in any of the equipment on the guitar. Satisfying for the value of the guitar

I've had no major problems with the guitar. It's lasted for the last five years, and however many years beyond that it has existed. It's very solid. I always take backups on gigs, I can depend on it very well.

I haven't dealt with the company

Overall, I like it. I play with it every day problem free, and I'll probably keep it til it dies, for sentimental reasons. Or if I can sell it for more than five dollars, whatever
