Feature:
This guitar has decent features and the pickups are superbas well as the tone pots. I would have liked to see factory locking tuners and the original two-point tremelo that was on the original American made version.These are all easy upgrades that are just a matter of taste. Overall the guitar looks as you would expect an old favorite guitar to look. The brown sunburst finish with the tortoise pickguard is especially beautiful and apparently durable(I dropped one from about three feet and there was barely a mark). If your style isn't exacly of the vintage persuasion,the 21 fret neck, vintage style tremelo and the limited color choices send you looking for an original American made version which was basically an upgrades standard model.
Quality:
Solidly made guitar. I plan on buying one and it will more than likely be the guitar that travels. The looks, quality construction, and price make it a great guitar for gig use. I will probably change the tuners though because I prefer locking tuners.
Value:
Great value for a player looking for a versitile guitar that looks good and can stand up yo reasonable abuse. Its right at home in smokey bars and clubs.
Desirability:
The brown sunburst finish reminds you of a bygone era in music. This guitar has the ability to exude chiming highs as well as a bluesy barking lowend growl. The sound reminds me of many of my favorite guitarist and the versitility is great for getting te "creative" juices going. If you like that vintage look with out the relic type aging this guitar will make you drool with delight.
Sound:
The tone of this guitar is ideal for blues and rock. Not by any means a shredder but the syprisingly effective tone pots make it great for most genres. The Texas Specials singles and the Pearly Gates humbucker complement each other perfectly. Very versitile, great for a player who wants the snap and bark of a classic Fender but also howl crunch associatied with a vintage Gibson.
Ease of Use:
This definite plug and play guitar. Sounds great through almost any amp. Players who use tube amps will especially love the amount of tones you can get from this amp. Everything from super snappy country licks to than the Southern rock overdrive to that Hendrix/Cream 60s style rock & roll.I pair it with multiple amps and pedals and it sounded incedible. If you are a minimalist like myself, you'll love the amount of tone you can coax out of this guitar with a just an amp, and instrement cable and a few tweaks of the tone and volume controls.
Support:
Ive never dealt with fender in that manner.
Overall:
If this guitar were stolen I would definitely buy another. It is a wonderfully versitile guitar that any guitarist could find useful.
