great deal for a metal guitar

This guitar was a surprise to me and I'm not usually speechless by a cheap guitar but this one is amazing for the money. I was not that happy with the paint job cause mine had what looks to be little specks of dust in the paint, like the factory workers didn't paint it in a dust free room. The tuners work nicely and the bridge seems to be well built. The neck is a little bulky but works substantially well and the frets are not sharp around the edges which is quite nice. Where this guitar really shines are these monster pickups in the pickguard that can blow down a house. The bass in these pickups and the sustain creates a heavy metal that everyone should have. I am not a huge fan of basswood guitars but this guitar has some weight to it so dont think its going to feel like driftwood in your hands it still weighs about the same as my MIM strat. Compared to my MIM strat it could come close in comparison but the paint job is why I give this guitar a few less marks for excellence besides that your getting a pretty good deal anyway and if you wanted to shell out the cash go ahead and paint it another color yourself.

Great Tone at Accesible Price

I felt like buying a new guitar at an accesible price (My last shop was a Squier show Master HH with Skull & Crossbones) and found this one out on the squier website. I felt curious and checked out reviews and specs about this guitar and I felt good about it. when I got my hands on it oh MY GOD. Nice tone, warm sound, beautiful bright tones and respectable bass. Te exact guitar I dreamed of. If you want a strat that allows you going through clean tones to burning heavy sounds without leaving you with an empty wallet this si your choice!!!.

got this guitar yesterday and it shreds, i know i havent played it alot but it is great, the neck is smooth and thin enough to be a shred master, the pups are great and grungy, the look is amazing, but my fav is the trem arm, it is smooth and has no effect on the tuning, tune this beast down to drop C, put her on the neck pup, and blast out your ear drums, you got a metal machine

I got my hotrails 5 weeks ago and so far im happy. For one thing it looks so good everytime I see it I have to pick it up and play. It can play clean, fat, or screem like a banshee. You have to play around with the tone and pick up settings. This guitar would be more than good enough for a beginner.
