"Buy it!"

Feature:
It has the 5 position switch, which gives you tones of tone.

Quality:
No problems at all with this guitar. Rock solid.

Value:
For the $600+ I paid for it...it's a steal.

Desirability:
It's surf green...it sounds great...and that maple neck is fabulous...very shagadelic, baby...yeah.

Sound:
It's a Strat...and though it's a MIM, I'd put it up against any American Strat out there. Awesome guitar.

Ease of Use:
I love a maple neck. I'm going to buy a '52 Tele reissue because it's a Tele, and it has the maple neck. So slick...so fast.

Support:
Haven't had to use them. But I'll give them the benefit of the doubt as I've heard great things about Fender.

Overall:
Great guitar, especially for the price. Can't see myself being without a great Strat in the arsenal, and this one fits the bill. Mine doesn't have the whammy bar...but who cares really? No biggie.

"The best guitar in the world"

Feature:
It came with a gig bag and wammy bar

Quality:
Very good quality.

Value:
Best guitar for the money.

Desirability:
The surf geen color is great. The neck and hardware looking aged is so cool and sexy.

Sound:
This guitar melts in my hands.The only upgrade I did is replace the bridge pickup. I put a hot rail pickup in it. Now its like a old hotrod with whitewall tires with a big block hemi.

Ease of Use:
Very easy to get any great tone.

Support:
No

Overall:
This guitar not going anywhere. I'll never sell it.I have lots of guitars and this one like no other.
