During the 1960s, rock music truly came into its own when musicians re-wrote the book on electric guitar by conjuring fantastic sounds and styles never before imagined. Leading the sonic charge during that exciting decade was the Stratocaster, which became not only an even more versatile musical tool, but also a true cultural symbol.

I have been knocking around a plan to purchase a custom shop Stratocaster. I have owned many Stratocasters over the years but, never a 60's era which, in my opinion is the Holy Grail of Strats. Of course my decision to purchase a urethane, 60's spec'd Strat was made simple with this model. I save a boatload of money and knowing the MIM quality I couldn't be happier. I currently own a Deluxe Stratocaster, AAA Top Les Paul standard, Derek Trucks SG, and a custom built Tele by the "G" man . I honestly have to say this guitar was an instant bond with me. Save yourself some money and buy this!
Sound
Noisy, to be expected. It's a 60's era Strat. I ran it through a couple of different amps and get the tones I expected. I may put a set of Klien pickups in. And still save a thousand bucks.
Features
Typical of the model
Quality
The quality is better than in the 60's. Consistent and truly a beautiful finish
Value
Some may argue MIM for $900! I feel it is worth all of that.
The Wow Factor
After a little set up and string change. I was Wowed. I can't stop playing it
