C-1 FR S SLS Elite

Best guitar I've ever had, sound's great, feel's great, it became my main guitar in studio and on stage.

Slight flaws on the binding such as cracking and roughness, extremely small grain holes on the back of the neck providing a gritty feeling where your thumb rests, body contouring/ergonomics could be better it’s thicker than a regular Stratocaster and is heavier too. The pickups housing rest right in the strumming sweet spot and is is wider than the string so if you play towards the neck there is a tendency to hit the pickup before you get to the actual strings, otherwise the technology and pickups and hardware are all top notch. I can find any range of tones and sounds I want to make with the sustaniac and fishman push pull coil and the clarity is what sets this pickup configuration apart. The fret board is insanely smooth and the stability of the fr is impressive. Flamed maple tops being the only finishes available isnt a deal breaker but something quilted would’ve been nice, all in all the guitar is great but it is just shy of amazing

Best buy!
