"Amazing tone full guitar"

Feature:
I cannot think of anything I would have different on this incredible instrument as I have improved as a guitarist since playing this one. Mine has a three way switch but I tweak it just right in between and get all the angles from the pickups. It has the vintage tuners and finish and vintage sound I cannot ask for more.

Quality:
The weight of this ax is well balanced and feels solid. It is not too light and not too heavy. The finish is excellent to look at with the sunburst paint and mine is about twelve years old. I think it will last me my lifetime. I know I won't sell it and I think it will hold up well as a player, I store it in its nice cozy original tweed case when its resting.

Value:
I would have paid more for it if I new the quality was as good as it is! It is a pros player. I think that most new higher priced guitars are somewhat over priced but I would give the retail price for this guitar and more if I had too now knowing the quality of the guitar.

Desirability:
I think this baby is as sexy as they come, it looks cool. :}

Sound:
The tone coming out of this ax is amazingly clean and crisp. I was not a big Fender player until I played this guitar because of the pure sounds I can get from it now I am a sold on Fender. Mine is a 1996 model so I cannot say how the new ones are comparably but if they are close to this one any guitarist will be happy with this instrument I assure you. We have a total of eight guitars in our living room as I write this and my 62 Reissue is my true favorite player. It is taking some getting used to the neck on this one as it is slightly thinner and wider than all of my guitars but I don't mind it. I think once I play it awhile I will like the thin neck better.

Ease of Use:
The sounds I can make with this guitar are just phenominal. My Vox amp and my Epi Blues Custom amp sound better than they ever have without any added effects playing this ax through them.

Support:
I bought mine from a guitar shop in Florida and they were more than fair on their price and shipped it safely insured and provided me a tracking number.

Overall:
If it were stolen I would track down the predator, no I would definitely buy a new one to replace it! It is a keeper!

"Yep....Its a keeper!"

Feature:
Features on a guitar? Not sure i want features. I just want a guitar. I'll take features on my amp if anything. Comes with a 3 and 5 way switch..Leave the 3 way on..Why buy a reproduction of the original and Mod it? makes no sense. And it comes with an ashtray cover. Besides looking pretty cool it is really more trouble than its worth. Shine it up and store it away. I agree 100% with another reviewer. I really dont like the Poly on the guitar. I would remove it (especially from the back of the neck) in a second if I could. But I cant and I wont.

Quality:
the quality is top of the line. The select wood grain on the body is gorgeous. The neck is straigh as an arrow. This is a quality guitar.

Value:
PLEASE..$1500 for this guitar. Its an awesome value. I would take this guitar in a minute over a Les Paul and that guitar is $1000 more!! Of course they are great guitars also, but for funk, blues and rock this one kills the Paul

Desirability:
Buy a tweed case with Poodle Red interior and you got yourself a sexy kick but axe. Especially the Sunburst...WOW

Sound:
I've beed playing 30 years. Its sad to say I was born the same year the original was made...LOL But I've always played Strats. This one is a keeper! Outstanding resolution. The highs ring forever. Its just got that Strat sound that makes a Strat...a Strat

Ease of Use:
Bending notes is a little tough on this axe. I cant understand why anyone would buy this guitar and use anything less than 10 guage strings. This guitar is built to play Funk, Blues, Rock. If your into Heavy stuff an need lighter guage string then dont buy thig axe.

Support:
the best thing about fender supoort.. In all the years I've played fenders, I never needed them,

Overall:
Will never EVER sell this guitar. I will probably buy another guitar but thats only because I'm an addict and I gig enough to buy this stuff without using 'Family' money...LOL
