I was looking for a new guitar and stumbled across this one. I took a closer look and realized it had the same pickup configuration as my 97 Lone Star Strat. Which I loved but had to sell. So this purchase was a no brainer.For starters it was gorgeous right out of the box. Just a quick tuning and it was ready to play. The setup on it was perfect.And plays like butter. I was bummed about the lack of finishes for this model. As I've never owned a white guitar. But with the black pick guard and pickups it looks pretty bad ass. And sounds as bad ass as it looks. Classic Fender tone with added crunch from the Pearly Gates humbucker..
