Excellent guitar for the money

You get what you pay for and this holds true with this guitar. It may cost you more but its worth every penny. It has great tone and plays like a strat should. If you are looking for a higher end guitar you need to take a look at this one, you won't be disappointed

I love this guitar. Best Strat I ever owned. All around good Stuff. Although it still isn't quite as good as one of my other guitars because it is still just a strat.

Almost perfect

I played it a few times in a music store. WOW what a great instrument! It is perfect is all the ways except one little thing. The low E strings is easy to bend out while playing. I dont know if it supposed to be like that or if it was just some factory error. What I love the most is the vintage tones you get out of the pickups. Rock on!!!

I have been playing for 10 years. I own 4 strats and this one blows all my other strats away. The tone on this guitar is simply amazing. Every pick up sounds awesome. Neck has a clean bassy sound, middle is nice for some clean blues, and the bridge is my favorite, a twangy crystal clear sound perfect for jazz, ska, some blues. I also played this strat with distortion and the neck pick up sounds muddy but the middle and bridge pickups sound great. Not really for metal but still sounds great for some classic rock.

The paint job on this is amazing. I got the 2 tone sunburst and all I could say was "wow" when I saw it. Beautiful thin nitrocellulose paint job. Neck is very comfortable, frets are nice and small just the way I like them.

Overall a flawless guitar. It does everything I wanted it to do and more. I never though of spending this much on a guitar but now that I did, I realized that you do get what you pay for. I never played an original 56 but if this is what they sound like then I now know why everyone raves about pre 65 strats.
