Fender Standard Stratocaster HSS Electric Guitar (Maple, with Gig Bag) Reviews

5 People rated this product :

"Great guitar at a great value."
Feature:
Electronics work well and the tuners are solid. The vibrato works well without that many tuning issues. The standard gig bag is top-notch.

Quality:
Workmanship is solid. Frets are well-done. Intonation is very good.

Value:
Good value for the money. I believe the Made-in-Mexico Strats hold up well against the USA-made models.

Desirability:
Seeing as how the Strat design is copied more than any other, I'd say it's pretty "sexy."

Sound:
The sound is as you'd expect from Fender single-coils--no disappointment there. The humbucker is nice and crisp, but isn't as meaty as, say, a Gibson.

Ease of Use:
As easy as any Strat you'll play!

Support:
n/a

Overall:
I can't see giving this baby up. I'd buy another one if this one is swiped--but I might go with a sunburst rather than black.
