"A GREAT BUY!!!"

Feature:
great materials!! comes with classy pick guard and 2 humbuckers. I do wish it had a tremola bud its ok cause it just doesnt look like a whammy guitar.

Quality:
the kneck has a perfect headstock off set. very easy to string holds tune.. great natural wood finish. itfell 4 feet on the headstock/neck ad nothing happened. no dings i took it in to make sure it was ok and nothing broke. yes its mexican but not completely the wood is cut in the us and the humbuckers are assembled all the electronics are fender USA made but it is sent t mexico to be put togerher.

Value:
great value easily a 1000 dollar guitar

Sound:
this guitar sounds great no matter what!!! Its great acoustically and plugged. gets great clean sounds and great distortion.

Ease of Use:
if u know how to set an amp good its very easy. there are 3 pickup settings and gets great sound of each

Support:
i havent had problems with this guitar but my old fenders electronics were on te fritz and was able to get new pickups in 4 days

Overall:
i will keep this guitar for my life it was a smart decision it has played up to my expectations and have been asked by multiple pro's if it ws original.

"A great guitar that grows with the player."

Feature:
Pickup switch, tone, and volume. This was my first guitar, and the simplicity is what drew me to it. What more can you ask for?

Quality:
It's held up for 5 years, and is going strong. I gave it a good bang when dropping it on a stair corner. It chipped the finish, but sounds fine, and no electronics are rattling around. It's certainly more than gig worthy. I guess I'd like smoother tuners, but it keeps tune so I'm fine with them.

Value:
I was put off by it being made in Mexico, but my friends American made Strat is in worse off shape than mine. Plus, there's nothing wrong with it. It's a quality product at a reasonable price.

Desirability:
I love the finish, and the shape. I don't like the pearl pickguard though. Someday I'll paint it, or replace it.

Sound:
The sound from this is soo versitle. I play rock, and blues mainly. The only thing I've had problems with is a really heavy tone, but if you're in a death metal band the look of the guitar probably already put you off. I'd say it excels with blues and country. It has a great trebley tone, very twangy. I have a carvin 100 watt tube amp, and it sounds quite good through its clean channel, but I actually prefer it through my Blues Jr. for a distorted tone.

Ease of Use:
My only complaint is the fretboard finish. I think all maple boards are like this, so its not specific to this guitar, but the finish kinda slows my playing down. Its a very minor gripe though, and not a huge deal.

Support:
Never dealt with them.

Overall:
Fantastic guitar, great for a beginner whose serious about getting into playing. It will grow with you, and allow you to venture into all different types of styles and playing.
