Stagg Strat Copy

I don't know when or where it was made but I bought it in 2002 so probably upto 2 years before that.
Standard Strat 21 frets 3 single coil pickups no idea what make they are.
5 way switch but I only use Bridge and Neck pickups anyway
1 Volume 2 Tone controls

I like the style of this guitar I play rock and blues mostly so it suits my style. I have a Zoom 606 pedal and Peavey Transtube Studio Pro 112 (this is the best peice off kit I've bought to date but thats another story)I can get some good crunch with the distortion patches but I cant get to much without the pedal. But I can get a nice clean tone with just the Guitar and amp

The first thing was to adjust the truss rod to straighten the neck. then I put a profile on the nut and filed out the grooves as they were very tight. I then lowered the action and raised the pickups a little. I took off the string trees (they don't do anything except get in the way when putting new strings on)finally I changed the strings from 9s to 10s

Mine has taken a couple of knocks, and withstood them. It seems quite well built. I have played it a lot and the finish is still in very good condition so it seems to stand up to wear and tear, and nothing has broken off. Tuners seem a bit weak though it loses tune quite quickly if i use the trem a lot.
I don't gig but if I did I don't think I would use it. The badge is quite naff a big red oval on the headstock

Never needed it

The price I payed was a package price, it came with a Stagg CA 10 practice amp,(which now sits in corner of the room gathering dust)a strap,(which kept coming off)gig bag (that gives no protection whatsoever)and some other useless stuff. I wouldn't recomend packages even for beginers. The Guitar is fine but the rest of the stuff wasn't worth bothering with
This is my first Guitar and I have only played this and an acustic so I can't compere them against each other.
I find it seems to play Quite well and has good resonance, everything seems quite solid and the weight is comfortable, but I think I am now outgrowing it and need to get a real Strat.

i think its 2002 model with 21 frets.(its not my guitar)1 volume and 2 tone knobs,5-way selector. 2 single pickups and a humbucker. its sunburst with a sticker coverd pickboard.came with gigbag and it stays in tune okey

my mate plays whatever he sees me playin so bands like blink 182 greenday,sex pistols ,nirvana,chilli's,whitmore,the ataris,ramones rancid, transplants and nofx.it suits all kinds of music thanks to the selector,but i only play punk.theres nothing wrong with it and it sounds pretty good

i dont know how it was set becouse he took everything out before i saw it.but it seems okay now

i would not this copy live becouse the strap button on the horn had to be glued on after it snapped off.the finish looks very good.id always gig with a backup

dont have a clue

ive been playing for 2 years and own a rocket special guitar and a harley benton jbass,i run both through a 10watt kustom amp(which is shit)

A 21 fret strat copy. No idea when or where it was made. A volume and 2 tone knobs, although the tone knobs seem to do nothin for me.. The neck is great for me and little fretbuzz.. seem to have gotten off lucky :) Got a free cable with it :)

I play punk/metal suits me just fine. Maybe I have an untrained ear but with my GFX-707II when playin with a real Fender USA Strat I was just as good :) Thumbs up all round. Everyone is complaining of noisy pickups.. ive not noticed it!

Bought new and I have had nothing except the low-E lowered a bit. Pickups were perfect...everythin was great about it really. Just had to plug it in and off I went

Built like a rock... no way its gonna fall apart. I carry it in a hand-held soft case which always hits the kirbs when crossing the road etc... A few chips but still cant see any wood... I got off lucky, a friend demonstrated the helicopter with my guitar which I wasnt keen on when the strap snapped just before he done it! I would have cried if anything happened to it!

Never used them... staff in shop were friendly enough though :)

Brilliant for a first guitar or a jammin guitar to leave at a friends house... although I love it so much! Haha

21 frets
cliche faded top
1 volume 2 tone 3-way selector
standard strat style pickups
MDF neck prolly :P
Strat style
generally horrible neck
FREE CABLE...woohoo

It doesn't do anything well...but it isn't all that bad.
I'm using a really basic 10watt amp (Rocket) and a Marshall Guv'nor pedal...but i usually just play it without plugging it in.
It's very noisy with the marshall pedal but generally not too bad

Lumpy neck!
Horrible action!
Rattles!
The threads on the trem were only partially cut so the trem was stiff for a while.
just horrible in general!
Although the pickups are set well

It's solid...I don't know if that's a good thing.
Although the tuner on the E string went pop nad was extremely difficult to fix, I put this down to the fact that the plastic washers were buckled when i got the guitar!
The finish on the neck is wearing off fast (only 2 months old!)

never had to.

I've been playing for 4 months now (First 2 months on a Fender acoustic and after that the Stagg)
If it were stolen I'd cry a little so my parents would give me the money for an SG.
If you're thinking of buying one don't bother, there's much better out there for similar costs.

dunno when it was made, recent i'd imagine, 2002 probably. its just your below average strat copy, 21 frets, S/S/S pickup config, volume and 2 tones i think it had tho (seems rather stupid to me), then again i aint a fan of strats. passive electronics, non-locking tuners and non-locking cheapo trem system. the neck was like a rough bit of square plywood that was sellotaped into the body

i play funk, metal, jazz, blues, classical, cheesy disco, anything i like the sound of really. i use a zoom tri-metal, a zoom 707II for clean effects, and zoom 707 for distortion effects (normally bypassed), all put through a boss line selector for switching between clean and distortion. also hav a crybaby before all that mess. i run it all through a peavey bandit 112 and a marshall mg120S cab. the stagg (which im sure is a kind of chilli) is just your run of the mill bad beginners guitar. the pickups are very noisy (they are single coils mind you). even when using two of the coils (which is meant to hum cancel), they just keep on buzzing. and thats on clean. not my amp, tried it through 3 amps. the sound is cheap twangy brightness basically, the guitar isnt really all that great. it doesnt stay in tune for even an entire song when i go gentle on it. i basically hate it

the guy who owns it played with it a bit before i played it, so i dunno what it was like out the factory. when i played it though, it was horrible! HORRIBLE!!! in staggs favour though, the pickups were set up properly. apparently the neck of the guitar has lotsa lumps and stuff, but i didnt notice it, i was too busy complaining about the rest of it.

this guitar barely lasted a 4 minute song. the strap buttons seem solid enough, the strap stayed on through my thrashing about. i wouldnt trust it to keep my door open to be perfectly honest, but then again, im fussy.

no idea, but couldn't find a website

i have been playing for about 2 and a half years. i own all the stuff listed before (the pedals, amps and cabs and all that) as well as an ESP F-200 (customised) and an Aria MAC50-Q. i have played many guitars, and i am certain that the stagg is the worst. i have played many ESPs, Gibsons, Epiphones, Westfields, Fenders, Peaveys, Vintages, everything really. i may have only been playing for 2 and a half years, but people seem to think im good, and i know a very bad intrument when i play one. please dont buy this guitar ever! for the same price, u could get a reasonable acoustic that will do you for life and acoustics are brilliant to learn on, everyone starts with them. then for your first electric, get a middle guitar, around the #300 mark from a reasonable company. AVOID STAGG!!! (they do make very good spekaer cables though)

ive been playing only 2 years on guitar im, 15 ive owned a yamaha pacifica, gibson cherry finish double cutaway, and a les paul copy,

This guitar must have been made very recnetly 2001,2002?

It has the standard 21 frets, the pickups seem to be the pickups found on affinity strats and it has one humbucker.
The Neck seems to be vranished maple gives off an affective finish
the neck seems to be a bit to fat opposed to my gibson that i own aswell at the moment, with the purchase i got a gig bag aswell

My Music style is the new wave Metal music (Vines, Finch, Thursday) also punk and grunge, so it fits my style very wel especially for playing music by the Vines and Nirvana ect. the sharp sound of the strat really burst through when on clean

The amp i use is a modern 100watt peavy 112 bandit, i lobve peavy amps and find it hard not to get a bad sound however you need the post gain down to get a none feedback sort of distortion making the sound not as metal and grunge.

for play songs from green day and blink 182 to the vines and nirvana this guitar is ideal the sound is beutiful on clean and on the odd occasion so is the distorion

the guitar sounds good through a ds-1 pedal

everything seemed too be all in order all except for the really tight tuning keys but they will loosen with time

This guitar seems to be like an axe, great durbility ive accdently dropped in on my wooden floor from a fair distance and it dint dint at all.

this guitar will definately with stand playing live (it hasnt got a choice lol)

i think if it could be avoided i would use a backup on a gig although if i didnt have a choice this guitar would be just fine

the staff seemed pretty helpful and friendly

theyve given em a 12 month gurantee which suites me

Ive been playing two years, i sing lead and play lead guitar in a bad called empathy, my gear is a phillips 110 cord mic, 100watt Peavy bandit transtube combo, Tanglewood 120 electric acoustic, Stagg S312, Gibson standard double cutaway, peavy leads, my practice amp is a Peavy Blazer 128 15watt

I brought this guitar about a year ago, it looked quite nice when i brought it apart from the gross red logo but i understand the new models have a much nicer logo.It was my first guitar and it costed about #110.

Its all standard strat style stuff just not as good i spose

I play Hard rock/punk/metal etc, I think this guitar has an amazing palm muting sound using the bridge pickup, as for the neck pickup its also quite good for your solos but it lacks the kinda tone im sometimes looking for on the lower bass end, the same with the treble end too be far, so the tone is pretty naff to be honest and i have no use for the middle pickup. also the pickups have started buzzing very badly and its rather annoying to be honest.

ive found that u can just about get away with it if u use some good effects/amps like it sounds fine through my line 6 but as for my old 80 watt fender copy it seems to lose all treble end and its not the amp.

ah , it sucked very badly out the box, the action is terrible and the neck was already slightly warped. there is fret buzz in so many places around the guitar mainly on 12th fret, many people have looked at it and tried to fix it but the problem keeps coming back so i just learned to live with it but seriously no one should have to cope with this.

next big problem. i noticed someone else had this problem with the trem. trem? non fucking existant. i broke the bar trying to get it to do anything, the bridge is so stiff and no matter what u do with it nothing seems to change it so dont think about using the trem with this.

haha this guitar rocks for this and its the only reason i think i still have it, i smash this thing into brick walls and throw it against amp head first etc, and the electronics have never stopped, ive had a few broken switches and machine heads but i guess thats whats too be expected, if u just want sumthin u can throw about and still play reasonably well this is ur guitar

who knows

ive been playing over a year now and i think its a very good starter guitar but i now own a maverick f1 and an epiphone sg which r much better but are also much more expensive.

If it was stolen or lost i would probly get one of those #75 encores just as a fuck up guitar, something u can take with u everywhere and not worry about it.

i love the bridge pickup tone and the small space between the frets just right, and the durability
i hate the buzzing, the hi action and the trem.

i suppose its a good guitar for the price but then again the encores better.

Bought new. Birmingham UK 2002 Ridiculously cheap - #99 approx $150
Probably Chinese manufacture - from CNC machined parts.
All standard Strat features with ceramic magnet-based pickups as expected at the price. Extremely well constructed at the price - fairly accurate body, somewhat lumpy neck of unspecified wood. Fingerboard flatter than Fender and with higher frets. Poor switch otherwise all ok. Reasonably accurate trem, ok tuners everything adjustable and lines up properly. Scratch plate and general appearance ok except some headstock contours. Nasty strings supplied - need changing.

Excellent Chicago blus guitar ala Buddy Guy etc. Very spiky tone on Fender Amp with lots of bite. Excellent solo tone on fingerboard pickup, good mixed pu. tones. It is a little noisy but rectifiable. A much more aggressive tone than a standard or vintage Fender. Thoroughly useable with added shielding for hi-gain applications.

Astonishingly good for the price. Nice sunburst finish. Everything fits, it all lines up and it plays as well as something ten times the price. Flatter fingerboard and higher, well-finished frets make string-bending easy. Trem set up well, action as supplied a little high but everything adjusts. You have to understand that this is a very cheap oriental instrumant and no-where near as accurate as a genuine Fender but it's a fair copy and a completely useable guitar with no flaws that affect plyability. One thing that needs to be changed is the poor switch.

I would use this as a gigging guitar after some screening and a new switch. Obviously not built to same standards as an expensive guitar but quite fit for the purpose. A utility instrument that will do the job without having to be worried about - and it sounds fine. alternatively a first-class student instrument.

No idea as to support other than through dealer. At the price I can hardly worry and I was so impressed I bought the Telecaster model too.

Nearly 30 years a player. Amongst several guitars have a couple of "genuine" Strats. They are valuable, the Stagg is an ideal guitar to take anywhere. I chose it for the sound, which is a bit less refined than my other Strats, and for the playability and appearance which is more than acceptable. Everything seems within reasonable tolerance and, as a Strat can be easily upgraded. It is also astonishing value

Not sure which year it was made, but I bought in 1982
Features the same as a Strat
The body is made of Ash and its beautiful the transparent finish showing all the wooden grains.
Came with a 3 way selector switch where i change it to a 5 way switch - got that great in-between sound

I play Rock, Blues and Country. Pickup alittle noisy, but for clear bright biting tone, its great.

Not too bad, but frets alittle too small in my opinion. More used to those bigger frets.

Been using it since 1982 .. what do you think??

None

I owned an Ibanez EX350, Gibson Les Paul Custom (sold off) and Aria CS350 (sold off) .. and I can tell you, I still love this axe. I have broke the whammy arm and still using it without the trem.
I think its great for a guitar of this price for its durability and good looks.

Dunno when, or where it was made, cuz I bought it second hand.
It has the same technical features as a strat, but of bad quality.

I play a couple of styles (Blues, Jazz, and Vai stuff), and I must say... it sucks big time.
I have a vintage 100 WATT Al Stevens Amp, wich is pretty okay.
The sound sucks even more because the neck is very bad. If I play in hight tones, it skips a pickup every now and then.

I'm not even gonna begin to speak about it.

This Imust hand to the guys, The damn thing is solid as a tank.

Dunno, never dealt with them

I've been playing for 20 years now, and Of-course I have several guitars. So I wouldn't mind if this one got stolen. It only uses space in my little studio. I guess I'll give it to some one I don't like (my mother in law or so) :o)
