Brandoni Review: Stratocaster

History:

Purchase: I bought this second hand from a friend, i had heard really good reports of this guitar, so i played it and loved it. I payed £300 for it, after it had a plec set up. Ed: This guitar has the Kent Armstrong hot and cool rail pickups built in and a tremolo.

What I Like About This Brandoni Stratocaster: It has so many sounds just by mixing the pick ups with the 5 way selector switch. It also sounds so good with the hot rail at the bridge, it gives you a great crunchy sound. The single coil middle pick up is great for recreating Hendrix sounds and the such like. The Kent Armstrong cool rail at the bridge gives a creamy, smooth vintage sound perfect for blues etc. The solid alder body looks fantasic and sounds great. The scale is perfect as i have quite large fingers.

What I Do NOT Like About The Brandoni Stratocaster: After using the tremlo arm for a while it put the guitar slightly out of tune, but after a quick waggle of the arm it came back in tune.

Brandoni Stratocaster Quality Rating: It's built really robustly and has held up to many long travels, it has been gigged and there is no dammage at all. It is the best quality guitar i have ever played!

Review Summary: Such a great guitar for the price, unbelievable sound.

Rating of this Brandoni product: 5
