"you'll want to play this one, not just for collecting"

Feature:
the c neck plays itself, and the five way selection switch helps for a quick change to a lead riff.

Quality:
had trouble out of the box, but the guys where i bought it were great and fixed.

Value:
this is a very hot looking machime, it sounds great and hits the tones i want from a fender. less cash would be better, but it is worth the price.

Desirability:
every body wants to touch it, play it and says it is great looking. we use for country, rock and blues so i guess they are right. it is a must have ax.

Sound:
i use a marshal mg stack and a crate, sometimes a digitech rp80 and get all the tones i want.

Support:
the problem i had was it wanted to fade out after playing for a while. the shop guys tried several times to find and correct the problem. they were cool about it and finally they hit the fade and the guitar has been great.

Overall:
i wouldn't replace it unless i hear something that sounds better and can afford it. it takes a little effort to get a humbuster sound out of it, it won't replace a les paul but this is a very good guitar. worth having.

"Beautiful workmanship"

Feature:
A beautiful guitar. it is flawless. But, the diamond in the head is a "CZ"

Quality:
I had to add 2 springs to it so it would stay in tune. Afterwards, no problems. Seems to be well built.

Value:
A bit expensive. I think the look might be worth the price, but I'm not sure if a standard USA strat wouldn"t be just as good for a lesser price. 1st Fender so I'm not familiar with the other models. This was a Christmas gift. This might be a guitar and custom case that if you could afford to do it, put it away, instead of playing it, and in 30 yrs it might be worth a lot more. Don't know...

Sound:
The pickups are really quiet and the quitar sounds great. I read alot of negative things about this guitar, after I got mine of course but so far I have no complaints at all....Maybe, it's the calm before the storm... :) Hope not

Ease of Use:
The strings were close to the neck so playing is easy for me, although the strings are not so close that they rattle.

Support:
not needed yet

Overall:
I don't imagine I will buy another guitar. This was alot more than what I would have bought for myself at my stage in the game, but I won't send it back neither...
