"Great guitar"

Stunning right out of the box, great tone and a great playing guitar. I almost bought the MIM version after playing it the music store, but went American and am glad I did. It sounds better than the MIM and the neck is less lacquered which greatly helps the feel of the neck.By far this is the most versatile guitar on the market in this price range, I love it. I also love the zZounds service it gets to you quick and the payment plans are so great, thank you zZounds and Fender for a great experience, I was so worried about ordering a guitar, but it worked out perfect!
