I've been playing a red Mexican Stratocaster since the late 80's and could never find a guitar with the same sustain and great tone (including other Strats) as that guitar.
Until I got this HSS Stratocaster. This thing played great right out of the box. I play a half-step down, so I only had to tune it down and make a small adjustment to the bridge. The intonation was nearly perfect and the neck plays amazingly. I play in a band that headlines festivals and this guitar ROCKS live! I was impressed. The clean tone is amazing and the dirty tone was phenomenal, especially when you use the bridge position. It also stays in tune no matter how much you use the whammy.
I'm in love, and my other Strat is REALLY jealous now..

Floyd Rose tunings are really fun to play with but can be difficult to keep in tune if not done properly. I would do some research before hand but it’s honestly not hard to learn. This strat is made really well and has high quality pieces. Definitely recommend.

Okay, not really. But I LOVE this guitar. It's solid, well-built, and stays in tune. On top of that, it's gorgeous and sounds just as one would expect a strat to sound.

I own about five guitars and while I mainly bought this to turn it into a Mick Mars signature model I have to say this is one hell of a guitar. I did have to get it setup but after that it’s played like a dream. I don’t have to worry about having issues when gigging with this guitar and I’m very glad I picked it up.

Nice guitar but I did have to take it in for a good set-up before it would play as it should. Also the manual that comes included is in Spanish and I was told there isn’t one in English. so it’s kind of hard to understand how to adjust and use its features. This is my first strat tho and am used to Gibson guitars.

Cool guitar, but man was the fretwork horrible. The frets were level, but the fret ends were razor sharp!! And the fretboard, super dry!! Took lots of conditioning to bring it back. Lots of time spent dressing the fret ends, and a good polish now it plays great!! Pickups leave a lot to be desired. For the price you would think you’d at least get a gig bag?? If I could do it agian I’d not buy this and get a sterling by musicman.
