I love my Strat!

I am one of the few people who use a Strat in a jazz band, but it has served me well. The guitar is capable of a full warm sound. When I want to switch to rock, all I have to do is twist the tone control in the other direction. My only complaint is that when the output jack becomes loose, it is a pain to tighten. Despite this, I would never trade my Strat for anything!

Usually I dont like using Fender's guitar's, but when I played this, it had this nice clean sweet rythem tone, it just amazed me. Anyway's when it arrived, everything was perfect, the neck, and adjustments on this Fender Strat. I read reviews sayin' its from Mexico, its true, but you know sometimes things from Mexico can be better than things in China, Korea, all those other places u know. :) I read more reviews than this, most of them are true because I played this at Guitar Center, it was all wrong, terrible. But Then...Great. Also what really amazed me is how the maple neck does great solo's, no kidding, especially from Lincoln Brewster's songs just fun stuff. Alright So dont hesitate to by it, its a great guitar.

Fender does this!?!

I was shocked after playing this. It's a great guitar, especially for the price. Most guitars i've played at this price, did not provide the power this did. I assumed strats were mainly for jazz. Considering every 60s and 70s players played a strat. I loaded some gain on this and wow did it scream out rock.

The only problem is getting used to playing it. Your hand will need to adjust to how close the strings are to the pick ups. Which makes it a little hard to palm mute. So if you palm mute like crazy. Take in reason that this guitar might not be your best choice.

If you're a 80s rock fan. This guitar will not be a disappointment to you! But i do wish they had released the sunburst one earlier cause i was forced to get a plain colored one.....

So I recently purchased this guitar with the maple fretboard and black and white finish, and it just blows me away. It comes with everything you ever will need in a guitar. I'm not a big fan of the factory strings on it but that can easily be replaced. The action is very nice and the neck is so smooth. Now the neck won't be as good as the American ones or the pickups quite as good, but this guitar is about as good as they come for the money. You will be glad you bought it, I guarantee it!
