General

The deluxe Fazley Startist Plus ST118 electric guitar comes loaded with high-grade hardware and electronics and fierce, ST-style sound, putting outstanding comfort and playability within affordable reach. This solid student-model boasts the full support of a bridge and set of pickups made by Wilkinson, as well as GraphTech and Alpha components. It also comes complete with a gig bag.

The Startist Plus ST118: Deluxe Upgrades

The classic body of the Fazley ST118 has been made using high-density ash, giving this instrument its superb resonance and clarity which is further enhanced by the fitted GraphTech TUSQ nut. Mounted with a set of three Wilkinson MWVS single-coils; directly based on classic '60s pickups and loaded with ceramic magnets, this electric guitar has been fully set-up to deliver the incredibly versatile tone that ST-models are so renowned for.

Unrivalled Playing Comfort

Wilkinson have also taken care of the modern two-point tremolo bridge and set of six, flat-block saddle that not only firm-up intonation but provide a comfortable palm-rest for your playing hand. The Wilkinson machine heads make sure of solid tuning, the slightly flatter, 16-inch radius of the blackwood fretboard has a snug feel beneath the fingers, so chords and licks can be grabbed with a light, easy grip, finishing this solid Fazley-made guitar.

Fazley Startist Plus ST118 Antique Burst with Gig Bag
Wrote the following about Fazley Startist Plus ST118 Antique Burst with Gig Bag
Hoe kan dit? 65% korting op een gitaar met louter kwaliteitsonderdelen van Wilkinson en Graph Tech? Interessant! Hé, deze stratocaster heeft ook nog eens een grote radius van de hals: 16 inch, terwijl een standaard strat vaak 9,75 inch heeft en 16 inch eigenlijk bijna alleen maar bij de shredmachines voorkomt uit duurdere prijsklassen. Heeeel interessant! Tot op heden was ik totaal geen fan van stratocasters (het witte plastic) maar getroost met de gedachte dat Hendrix, Clapton, Knopfler en Adrian Smith er ook het podium mee op gaan, heb ik deze gitaar besteld.

De bestelling verliep soepel, de bezorging was op tijd en de gitaar was goed verpakt en dus onbeschadigd. Dat verdient complimenten!

Je voelt de degelijkheid aan alles! Het stemmen voelt solide, de tremolo voelt solide, de draaiknoppen en schakelaars voelen solide, de jack voelt solide. De lak van de body is in één woord prachtig! De antique burst vind ik ook echt wel de mooiste kleur. Het witte plastic van de slagplaat, knoppen en single coils is bij deze gitaar gelukkig allemaal exact even wit, een grote opluchting! Hopelijk blijft dat zo.
Ja, de kwaliteit van de gitaar is zonder meer dusdanig dat je haar mee kunt nemen naar het podium.

De hals is glad en ligt fijn in de hand. De frets zijn mooi gelijkmatig, niet scherp. Deze hals is met de grote radius ideaal om je te richten op shredden en soleren. Precies waar ik mijn groei nu op wil richten. Voelt het ook zo? Ja, lekker vlak en toegankelijk en daardoor iets gemakkelijker dan mijn les paul en tele. De afstelling van de gitaar is goed, de actie is relatief laag. Een minpuntje zijn in mijn ogen de snaren, die afgeven aan je vingers en stroef aanvoelen. Dat is op te lossen door even te wrijven met een droge doek. Toch denk ik binnenkort wat gladdere bluesy snaren te bestellen. De Wilkinson staggered pickups bieden een ruim spectrum aan geluid. Mooi. De volume en toonregeling voelen ook degelijk. De variëteit aan klank is groter dan ik had verwacht. De tremolo is degelijk, maar is uiteraard voor het subtielere gebruik. En eerlijk is eerlijk; de ergonomie en de fijne hals zorgen ervoor dat je de gitaar graag van de muur pakt en op je schoot neemt om gewoon nog even wat te spelen.

Dit is al met al een kwalitatief sterke gitaar met superdegelijke componenten. Normaliter kost deze gitaar meer dan 300 euro en dat zou m.i. dus ook terecht zijn. De afwerking en de variëteit aan klank zijn overtuigend. Door de grote radius zijn de hogere regionen van de hals lekker gemakkelijk te bespelen. Ik hoop dat dit met andere snaren nog fijner wordt. In uitvoering onderscheidt deze Startist Plus zich dus duidelijk van de goedkope stratocasters die overal en nergens te koop zijn. Heel veel gitaar dus voor een prijs die eigenlijk gewoon niet kan kloppen.
