7 out of 10
Feature:
I really like the whammy bar, but it goes out of tune pretty fast which is unfortunate.
Quality:
It seems to be a very high quality instrument. Fender has been around for a very long time, meaning they know how to make high quality instruments. However, they've also learned about how cheap it is to make things internationally and that's what they've done with this. Mine's a MIM (Made in Mexico) strat but it's pretty nice. Should last decades!
Value:
If you're really into vintage tones, by all means grab this guitar. If you're not, I would keep searching, because you might find another guitar that better suits you. Drop 100 more bucks and you could get a Schecter C1 with Floyd Rose trem which seems to be ALOT higher quality in my opinion
Desirability:
It does look sweet!
Sound:
Classic Stratocaster sound: can't argue there! But the hum that you get sometimes, especially with distortion is really annoying. I noticed it only sometimes, and when the volume was cranked. You might want to switch out the pickups if you're buying this. Other than that, really nice tone! Seems pretty versatile so far!
Ease of Use:
It's a guitar... 2 tone and 1 volume is all you need i guess.
Support:
Haven't had to deal with them.
Overall:
I'd be satisfied with this for a while, but I'd probably want to seek out another guitar after buying this. This is a great addition to any guitar collection, but keep searching because there might be another guitar for a similar price that suits you better.

Feature:
I went with the rosewood fretboard, and wish I would have got maple, but that's okay. Looks don't affect the sound.
Value:
Excellent value.

Oh, it's sexy, (I got electric blue), just do yourself a favor and get the maple fretboard.
Sound:
I love the fender clean sound.
Ease of Use:
Plug In.
Turn Up.
Play.

Haven't tried it yet, no need.
