| Quality:
| Verry well made. |
| Sound:
| Tone is sweet, bridge pickup can get raw and nasty the way I like. The single coils get that great fender sound when laying don some down home blues. Country twang is not a problem for chicken pickin. |
| Reliability:
| Havent had it long enough to say but, it is an American Fender so no worries. |
| Overall:
| I just Got mine in yesterday and cant keep my hands off it. I am sure there are better but this is the best guitar I have ever owned. I tried out several different guitars before deciding to order this one. The jumbo frets are awesome and makes for fun vibratto and bends, the versitilty of this guitar is great for all kind kindsa music from rock to sweet jazz and blues. I love the classic 70s style headstock. It stays in tune pretty good after a while of punishing licks. The action was a tad bit high but nothing that cant be adjusted to your liking. Over all almost perfect. A great AMERICAN made guitar!!!!! Get one! |
| Playability and Feel:
| Playability was perfect, neck felt great and the guitar is not heavy at all. |
| Tone:
| Tone was like "buttah" several different tones |
| Finish:
| Finish was exactly as I expected and will give the worn look in time witch gives your axe character. |
| Action:
| Action out the box was a tad bit high but I took care of that with a slight adjustment. |

| Quality:
| Made very well. I can't find any "shortcuts". I know that some may think the finish may count as a shortcut, but I think it actually helps give the guitar a better overall sound...Plus I love how the satin finish looks! |
| Reliability:
| It's a Fender! I just got it, but I don't expect any problems. |
| Overall:
| An American made Fender for $700! Man, I am happy! |
| Playability and Feel:
| This thing feels great. The neck is smooth and fast. The action was good right out of the box. The pickups are great! |
| Tone:
| It is a Strat, so it sounds like a Strat. |
| Finish:
| I love the finish...I like the satin paint. I am however, switching out the pickguard just to make it a little more personalized. |
| Action:
| great! |

| Subject: | Affordable American Strat that can rip someone in half |
| Quality:
| The quality of this guitar is great, everything is tight, it stays in tune well even after lots of bending strings. Definatley an American Strat. |
| Reliability:
| I have been gigging with this guitar for about 3 months about 2-3 times a week.... It has yet to fail me and with the quality I don't ever expect a problem |
| Overall:
| If something were to happen to this guitar I would defniatley buy it again, I really dig the 70's styling... it really sticks out of the strat crowd. I play this more than my Gibby Les Paul now. I have always been a Gibson man too..... thats strange... It's more flexible and just has that feeling. |
| Playability and Feel:
| Frets are smooth, plays like butter, the neck is fast, it just "feels" right.... you guitar players know what I am talking about.... |
| Tone:
| The tone is that true Fender tone, upgraded pickups are decent, Pick ups matter but most the time when people dis the pickups.... it's more like the player or the amp, or the amp settings and not the guitar.... unless it's a really cheap guitar... but in this case the pickups are okay and sound good through my rig. Anyways I also threw in a LR Baggs Piezo X Bridge, and the Control X Preamp |
| Finish:
| The finish is pretty cool (It's the flat black), which is supposed to age naturally within a few years and not decades. I put a pic of it up on the customer submitted pics (1 of 2). It is the one with the black Pearloid pickguard |
| Action:
| Pretty good from factory, but after adjusting it now it's perfect... but everybody is different and plays at different action levels that they are comfortable with.... this is no big deal.... if you are not comfortable with the action take it to your local dealer and they will prob adjust it for you for just a few bucks |
