| Quality:
| Go to XXXX and read the reviews on this guitar.... I was very skeptical, but this guitar is fantastic. Better than any mexican made fender strat I have ever owned, and I have owned a lot of them. Pickups are great, looks killer, and plays even better.. |
| Reliability:
| Not sure, only been about a month since I bought it...Have gigged with it twice now...no problems at all |
| Overall:
| Just buy it before they hike the price up |
| Playability and Feel:
| All great... |

| Nice strat sound. normally most people would change the pickups out on a guitar in this price range, but I wouldn't change these |

| Fantastic |

| Subject: | Did Fender accidetally label some U.S.A.'s as Squier's |
| Quality:
| rates right up there with the highest quality of guitars |
| Sound:
| tone is everybit what you'd expect from a strat dont have any complaints whatsoever |
| Reliability:
| only had it a couple months but have played it regularly just about every day and still have had no problems at all. |
| Overall:
| from the moment i opened the box couldnt beleive the quality. hadnt even plugged it into an amp yet and was already amazed. i had just played a USA standard at a local music store and fell in love but the 1200 dollar price tag was well beyond my wallet. saw the reviews on these and with the payment options figured id take a chance and boy am i glad i did. this neck actually feels better in my hands than the usa and the quality is just as good if your lookin for a strat one question why pay 1200 when you can get just as good for 350? dont be a snob and accept the squier on the headstock, you wont regret it |
| Playability and Feel:
| perfection i cant make even the slightest little complaint, in fact i cant make any complaint period about this guita |
| Tone:
| as i said before everything you'd expect from a strat |
| Finish:
| absolutely perfect not the slightest blemish anywhere for the first week i had it i would have sworn up and down that i had a one piece body but after looking it over again and again and again i did finally notice it was two pieces but even now i still have to look at it for a while to find the seam |
| Action:
| some people have said in reviews that the action was a little high when they got theirs but mine seemed perfect. i like mine set as low as i can get it without getting fret buzz which can be tough considering the intensity that i tend to play with but if this one's action were set any lower the strings would be laying on the frets and i have to really slam the strings to get any buzz at all |

| Quality:
| The quality of the instrument is far above the price you pay for it.And that's amazing in this rip-off world we live in today |
| Sound:
| The tone is everything you'd exspect from a fender guitar.I produce the mucsic for folks that only have the lyrics or just an idea and i have to give the the good sounds that make their songs sound good to them. |
| Reliability:
| Just got it yesterday and i used it on a recording session lst night and it worked great.With proper care and maintanence it should last as long as any fender product. |
| Overall:
| This is guitar is a beauty,well worth the money.I ordered the Vintage SSS-but they were out of stock and because of a mix up on their part they included a gator deluxe hardshell case and the 10 sets of strings that came with the other guitar i first ordered.The people at AMS are great,they want the customer to be satisfied with the product."Best Company Around" why shop anywhere else they've got it all. |
| Playability and Feel:
| This guitar feels very compfortable,it's very well balanced and playability? Anyone with a complaint is just being picky.I'm a veteran of over 30 yrs. making a living playing guitar and I can trulely say I've played'em all from the worst to the best,buy one you won't regret it. |
| Tone:
| This is the first fender I've ever owned with a rosewood fretboard.It took me about to really get use to the tone ,it is the warmest sounding fender that I have ever owned and I like it .Of course if you to split some ears all you have to do is go to the bridge pickupand you'll find all of that you want,great tone,great tone all 'round |
| Finish:
| The finish is flawless,beautiful shine colors jump out at you and it only yook me 5 minutes to remove the protective plastic coating.It's a keeper. |
| Action:
| The action is fine could'nt complain.Ichanged the strings and she strarted purring out those sweet fender tones.It just goes to prove you don't have to spend all you cash for a guitar that will do the job. |

| Reliability:
| had for a month. itz still great. sounds like it did straight outa the box. |
| Overall:
| Great |
| Playability and Feel:
| It is a medium to heavy guitar in wieght. the neck is glossed allowing quick shredding. the switches are in a line so you have to make your hand go around the others to get to the last one. the pickup switch is easy to slam up and down. |
| Tone:
| its a really bright soundin guitar. the pickups seemed pretty mellow. |
| Finish:
| the paint was great. i scratched the pick gaurd with a butter knife trying to remove the pots so i could take off the plastic overlay. |
| Action:
| low action was great too. really low making it easaly playable. |

| Subject: | What's in a name? |
| Quality:
| Every bit as good as guitars costing 2-3 times as much. I was much impressed. |
| Reliability:
| Haven't had it long enough to comment about reliability over time. I have a Stratocaster Bullet (100 dollars) that was my intro into the world of Strat, and it continues to impress. I'll watch for the input coming loose as it did in the Bullet. This one seems more well-built though. |
| Overall:
| I love it. The set up and action was perfect. The tone was bluesy and superb. Usually there's a position on the pickup selector that doesn't appeal to me, but not in this case. |
| Playability and Feel:
| Alder body, heavier than the basewood Bullet, but not noticeably "heavy". It's a Strat, so it's comfortable, double cut-away for higher fret access, etc. The controls are typical Stratocaster - 2 tones and 1 volume. I've always had a problem with inadvertently tweaking the volume when I play close to the bridge for extra twang on all Strats, but the friction on this volume knob gives me a little room to play with. In contrast, on the Bullet that I own I can inadvertently tweak 3-5 "clicks" on the volume dial on aggressive downstrokes. |
| Tone:
| The tones are smooth and fat. I have a Deluxe Player Strat that I would describe as chunky...I think that's a product of the maple fingerboard. The maple neck with rosewood fingerboard on the Classic vibe combined with the awesome pickups are a nice combination. |
| Finish:
| Very nice finish with the dark sunburst and pick guard. No complaints...except for the stupid pick guard plastic that will take years to completely get rid of LOL! |
| Action:
| Perfect. No complaints. |
