"Bright and sweet sounding Strat with shinny look"

Feature:
Not much to say about it

Quality:
I believe it can last over 3 decades.

Value:
great value,if all you need is a bright and sweet sounding strat with shinny look.U can't go wrong with it.

Sound:
It sounds particularly sweet. Don't think it sounds like a vintage Strat cuz it comes with Seymour Duncan PUs, but anyway who cares, it is such a well crafted instrument.

Ease of Use:
easy on my hands
