I am a "veteran" having played some pretty good venues and opening for bands such as Body Count, Savatage, D.R.I., and Overkill ... O.K., I was a metal head. But this guitar is the best one I've owned and I've owned many.

Super fast neck, quality electronics, great feel when sitting or strapped, tone for days. It cleans up real good and get's super raunchy. This is a s versitile of a guitar that you can get in a hardtail, .... oh and it stays in tune forever. Your friends will freak when you open the case because it looks like a guitar that cost way more.

I bought mine at a music store a year ago and love it so much I had to write this. This is the best bang for your hard earned money. Quality, tone, looks, and affordability ..... it's a winer!

I am leaving my email address unhidden and will gladly send you a tune with me playing lead guitar with "My Baby".

I've never been compelled to write a review before but this thing is just amazing and I feel I owe it to Fender to write this glowing review. First off, this guitar is absolutely beautiful in person. I know a lot of reviews say "the pictures don't do it justice" but believe me, the pictures DO NOT do this thing justice..It's stunning, really. The neck is a little on the narrow side but the wide radius helps and bends don't fret out at all like they do on a lot of other Fenders I've played. I love the duncans and the coil tap feature. The heel is amazing, perfectly smooth, no bump at all, it's perfect. What else can I say, this guitar just has that "it" factor. Makes me vibrato like SRV on crack. I love it. Ima go play...

This is Fender Refined. Sweet sound, Very versatile, Excellent quality. The slender, set neck is a joy, Dual Seymour Duncan humbuckers with coiltap capability are perfect. Bound Mahogany neck and body provide almost endless sustain. Slim body, Carved top, Contoured back, spalted maple top, make this my new favorite guitar. And to think I never wanted to own a Fender

This thing is amazing! I've played alot of Les Pauls, Strats and Teles but this guitar is the best playing, most versatile of them all. It arrived perfectly set up and was even in tune (after shipping!!!). The Duncans are, of course, the best; tone is buttery smooth with just enough bite, and tapped for single coil have just enough spank to be interesting. All in all, a great import guitar, well worth what I paid for it.

Double Seymour Duncan Humbuckers sound great and well defined at any distortion level. The coil splitter adds single coil bright sound. Stays in tune very well. Can go for 2-3 hours with only minor adjustments. I play hard. Did some adjustments in lowering the action - easy! Plays like butter. My main guitar.
