"Buy this guitar."

Feature:
The features on this guitar are pretty standard.

Quality:
Fender has always made a good guitar and this one will last you a long time.

Value:
This is one of the best guitars in terms of versatility and getting the best bang for your buck. It is definitely one of the best sounding guitars you'll play, and the price is generally lower than most Fenders.

Desirability:
I LOVE THIS GUITAR.

Sound:
This guitar is best played through a clean channel on a Fender Twin Reverb amp. It's a wonderful guitar that has a fat tone because of the humbuckers and a slight jazz feel to the timbre because of the semi-hollow body. If you're looking for a Fender but want versatility in sound, this is what you're looking for.

Support:
Fender is a huge company and so quality customer service can be hard to come by.

Overall:
Look no further. This has everything you want. Country, blues, rock, jazz... you can even get a dang sweet metal crunch out of it. What more could you want???

"A GREAT BUY!!!"

Feature:

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.
