1965 Strat like guitar
22 frets
Solid Body, 3way selector, 1 volume, 2 tone controls
3 Single Coil pickups all
Red Satin very thin body, Very light weight and very fast neck.
The bridge is kinda strange, there's no way to intonate the strings, Everything's original except the output. When I got the guitar there was a coaxial output on it. I replaced it with a normal mono jack output witch didn't really fit because the body is actually too thin, I had to really carefully drill in the guitar to make it fit in.
Sound

It's a really small guitar, very lightweight and thin, but it plays very fast. I play an Epiphone ES335 but my Vox really beats it in the ripping of solo's and fast riffs. It has a bluesy sound when played clean but I mostly play it trough a Boss Metalzone.
Action, Fit, & Finish
:
7
The setup is good, but as far is I can see there is no way to adjust string hight or intonation, I also removed the whammy bar cause it really detuned fast. The frets are fine and the finish is great too. (i traded this guitar for an outboard boat motor and when I got it she was in bad shape from being in a burned out warehouse)
Reliability/Durability

I trust here enough for live playing, but I never gig without a backup.
Als one of the singlecoils seems to become a bit microphonic. It feedbacks a lot. I just don't use that PU anymore.

It's the best trade I ever did, and i will never sell this guitar. It plays so easily and smooth.
I also play a ES335 Epi and that guitar is just so much different that it can't really be compared.
For amplification I use a Fender FM series, probably not the best sounding amp but it does the trick.
