Feature:
It's a strat, your going to get a lot. 5 way pickup selector which gives you a lot. Also, with strats you can get more than just 5 ways to use the pickups, i've expiremented and you can put the pickup selector i between any 2 postitions! For example, you can put the pickup selector i between 1&2, 2&3, 3&4, and 4&5! pretty cool which just gives you more features!
Quality:
ugh. you know what to expect from an American made Fender. The hand rolled edges just doubles the icing on the cake. I like how the neck and head is just one piece. Makes it a lot more sturdier compared to some Gibsons.
Value:
Great guitar, sounds like top of the line stuff. So if It was 1200 or 1300 bucks, I'd still buy it.
Desirability:
When you look at it in person it is just a preety piece of artwork. The head is clearcoted which makes it "Glisten" in the light. I got the olympic white so I could be like Jeff Beck and John Frusciente and it looks just amazing. Thats not the only reason i got that color, To me thats just the best color that goes with a rosewood fretboard.
Sound:
This guitar has the perfect sound if your looking for a bluesy or classic rock/rock sound. If you want metal or a hard crunch, put in a symour duncun Hot Rail in the bridge or anywhere else. Or even a Dimarzio Fast track 2. But for what you get it's amazing!. I've had the stock pickups for a while then put in Hot rails and now it sounds like a hybrid between Fender and Gibson!
Ease of Use:
Well, as I explained, you can get any sounds from this by setting it to your specifications like changing pickups and using then wisley. Also, you dont even need the whammy bar to get the whammy bar sound. Just push or pull on the tremolo and you will get it without accidently "Dive-Boming" it and putting it out of tune.
Overall:
This guitar sounds like a brand new guitar every time i pick it up, and if I had to buy it again, I definatly would.
