"Excelent playability, awesome sounds!"
Feature:
It came with a case, a cord, a Fender Strap, a tremolo bar, a polish cloth, and some allen wrenches to for setting up. 3 great pickups, with a high output bridge, and the no-load tone setting make this full of features!
Quality:
It is of a much higher quality than my other, Mexican made Strat. The finish is nice, and it had no cosmetic blemishes. It is very reliable and nothing that would break (except strings of course!). The thing that surprised me the most is that the strings stay in tune, even after dive-bombs with the tremolo bar!!
Value:
It is worth the money.
Desirability:
It looks great, maple neck, Olympic white, it's beautiful!
Sound:
The sound of this Stratocaster is awesome! With the right tube amp you can nail many classic sounds. It is definitely compatible with the Blues, Psychadelic era sounds, as well as pretty much any musical style!(The only one I think might be tough to achieve is a Metal sound.) Capable of many sounds.
Ease of Use:
Easy. Plug it into an amp set your tone controls to your liking (for me, 5 on neck, no-load on bridge most of the time.), and play! Nice action, easy to access all frets, and rolled fingerboard edges make it even easier to play.
Support:
Haven't needed any support.
Overall:
I expect to use this for quite some time. I bought it because of all my heroes have used a Strat, Hendrix, Clapton, Gilmour, SRV, etc. Buy it!

"An American Icon, the sole of rock n roll!"
Feature:
Moulded Case, Strap, cord, trem bar, tools and polish cloth came with it. Somehow I have never got this stuff when buying from a local retailer? 3-pick-ups, tremolo, 5-way switching and no load tone controls give a incredible variety of sounds. Hardware is of very good quality.
Quality:
Well it is very well finished but it's not quite a Gibson. Of course this isn't a custom shop model, which is more comparable to the Gibson in price. It is certainly a much nicer guitar than any of the no US models. Hand rolled fingerboard, hand cut nut, better hardware and great US pickups are worth the extra money.
Value:
This guitar sells for 1200 locally (Canada) and I got this one for 800 because it was the last Chrome Red color which was discontinued. What a deal!!!!
Desirability:
The Strat is way sexier than my gibsons, just look at all the curves and glossy red paint!
Sound:
Nothing sounds better than a Strat. This guitar is the most popular guitar of all time. Leo was a God! It is an American Icon and screems California style. I was unsure how the pick-ups would be and thought they might have to be upgraded. They are very Straty and all of the classic tones are there, their staying. Played thru a GOOD tube amp, it sounds like heaven.
Ease of Use:
Strats are simply the most comfortable guitar to play on stage. Fast neck and nice wide frets make it a joy to play. Somehow the strat makes me more creative than the gibsons and is a lot less finicky too!
Support:
ZZounds great, Fender never returns my e-mails?
Overall:
Every guitar player sould have a least one Strat in their garage. If you don't try one you'll never know. Gilmour, Clapton, SRV, Hendrix can't be wrong.
