"A true value at any cost."

Feature:
The machine heads are easy to use, yet they do not fall out of tune.

Quality:
The guitar is made of quality materials and with quality workmanship. The finish is beautiful (I bought the honey blonde).

Value:
You get alot of bang for your buck with this guitar.

Desirability:
It looks sleek and fine. It feels good and it sounds good.

Sound:
Not tinny. I played several basses before deciding on this one. It has a full, rich sound.

Support:
this guitar is so quality, I haven't had to use the support.

Overall:
I initially bought a less expensive brand in order to save money. I knew it was a mistake but I did it anyway. After several nights of tossing and turning, I returned the cheaper brand and bought the Fender. As it turned out, the quality, the sound and the Fender reputation turned out to be the REAL value.
