It's a keeper. I am picky and can own any guitar made (and pretty much have), but this one is excellence and value embodied which makes it a first choice player for live shows. I got it as a "blemish" and I cannot find anything wrong with it... a much better sounding, equal playability and better looking guitar than the new American Standard Strat I just returned. The only level above this instrument would be Custom Shop.

Sound
Sounds very good! This is my first experience with the Texas Special middle and neck pickups and they are a really good vintage sounding pickup with bell and chime, but with just enough added oomph to make me sound good live. The Seymour humbucker is just wonderful and if adjusted plenty low, balances nicely with the other pickups. The guitar has a really nice fret job and neck with just a few sharp edges here and there but nothing bothersome. Fast neck for a Strat.

Features
About as good as it gets feature wise. The pickups are top notch and really elevate the guitar into the pro level for live sound. The only thing "wrong" is the bridge saddle height screws are typical MIM, too long and they all protrude into the palm. Fender needs to put height compensated (ie the same as American Strats have) screws in their MIM line guitars.

Ease of Use
Easy to sound really good on. Helps you rather than makes you "earn it" like vintage style Fender instruments do.… read more

Quality
Just excellent. I get compliments on the appearance frequently. Something about the tortoise pickguard (normally I dislike this color) over the white really is different. I do wish it came with the vintage style tuners, but these work very well indeed.

Value
In comparison to my G&Ls and Fender American Vintage Reissue 62, the only picks are the poly finish (but it is vey smoothly done) and the bridge string height screws. The sound and playability is definitely pro level.
