"Parents' Special: Great looks, Great Sound, Great value."

Sound:
For an entry level guitar this one will do the trick. It looks and feels almost like the real thing at a price that will not break you. I started with this guitar and have since bought a Fender Strat.I did have to do some "slight" bridgework to get the action as I like it. All in all good deal.

"Incredible sound,amazing value, buy this now!"

Feature:
Everything a $1000 Strat has including alder body and a fantastic neck that has a better profile than the American ones

Quality:
Made in China, not Indonesia and it is much better than a standard Squire. Everything works flawlessly. The body has a nice heft and the laminated body looks beautifully matched. (Most all Stats are more than one piece of wood...been that way since 1954)

Value:
Unbelievable for this price. It's better than the MIM Strats and many American ones.

Sound:
Nails the SRV neck p/u. Great with neck/middle or middle/bridge. Bridge is very bright almost Tele like. That is great for me.
