"It's a real American made beauty."

Feature:
It came with strat shaped hard case, Fender cable, wiping/cleaning cloth and waranty information booklet and Fender strap. It comes with pretty much everything you need, may be except an amplifier.

Quality:
It is well detailed and I love the finish. I got a cherry sunburst looking sunburst and it has a beautiful sunburst finish. It is a true American classic! I just wanted true American made start. And this is it!

Value:
Wish it were little sheaper. but, hey you get true American made "real!" start. I guess I shouldn't complain about price :(

Desirability:
I just wanted American made "True" and "Real" strat. This is exactly what I wanted. mine has a beautiful sunburst finishes and maple neck. It also got punch with texas special hot rod pick ups! I absolutely fell in love with it.

Sound:
I wanted American made strat with a punch!, and not satisfied with sound that comes with regular single coil pick ups. The bridge humbacker gives high density distortion sound (more distortion per square inch.. dunno how else to describe it.) And the texas special single coils are also powerful enough and balances well with the humbacker. If you want a punch with strat, this is IT! for you.

Overall:
Can't ask for more...

Style of Music: hard rock

"A GREAT GUITAR AT A GREAT PRICE!!!!!!!!!"

Feature:
The hard case is great. I fly a lot and I take it on board. The shape matches the guitar so it is smaller than the rectangular hard case.

Quality:
I really like the bridge work. And the roller bearing nut is awesome. The finish was flawless and setup was about perfect from the factory.

Value:
Outstanding. I played 10 guitars before I bought this one. Anything comparable is far more expensive.

Desirability:
I must. I bought one. And now I am thinking about getting an Ywngie Malmstein or a Jeff Beck.

Sound:
The tone is excellent. Using the neck pickup gives it a nice rich tone. Not quite a Les Paul, but it is half the price.

Support:
Haven't had to use it.

Overall:
I like the neck a lot. But I also love the tone. The controls are also very nice. I just love the thing.
