Feature:
It came with a lot of case candy. Manual, polishing kit, 6' cable, several hex keys, stickers, strap and best of all; a pair of strap locks. As for the guitar, it fetures superior quality makemanship as well as truly elegent lines. She's like a beautiful woman; just as much fun to look at as well as to hold.
Quality:
What can I say... you can't go wrong with an American model. They may cost more than the imports but if you set them next to each other a genuine USA Stratocaster will stand out. When you hold it you know it was made to last a lifetime.
Value:
One day this guitar will be a vintage. Some people will want this model because of some of the features that is exclusive to it for sure. But you're going to have to prt mine out from my dead fingers.
Desirability:
Fender/Schaller locking tuning pegs, two point sychronized tremolo with snap in arm and crome plated stainless steel saddles, S-1 Switching systen, 3 hot Samarium Cobalt Noisless pickups, the beatiful white-black-white pearloid pick guard and silky smooth C neck. If you don't that sexy then you're not a Strat man.
Sound:
The Samarium Noiseless Pickups and the S-1 switching system truly allows you to sculpt your sounds bringing color to your music. The two point synchronized tremolo/bridge assembly is absolutely the the simplest and most elegent rig Fender has put out yet. Topped off with Fender/Schaller locking tuning peg, this guitar holds up well under the most agrressive playing.
Ease of Use:
Out of the box it needed tuning and lubing the key area need for tremolo equipped guitars. The action was perfect as well as the intonation. These people at Fender truly know their craft.
Support:
The only support I've needed so far was the need for general information which is provided for in the Fender.com site.
Overall:
I've owned a lot of guitars in the two and a hald decades I've been playing music. This guitar was by far the best axe I've every held. The actions is so smooth that it feels more like the guitar is playing it's self and I'm just there for the ride.
