This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful. "American strat at Mexican prices"

Sound: The sound is amazing, rock, classic rock, punk, and blues all sound great. I've even played it with a folk group and the clean tone kept up with the acoustics. However, the pickups are not quite powerful enough for zeppelin, metallica, that type of stuff. I tried a higher level american stratbefore buying this one, but the highway 1 was far better. Feature: I got two whammy bars with the guitar. It came with a gig bag, but I upgraded to a hard case. The hard case is WELL WORTH IT. Upgrading to lacking strap is another must. Ease of Use: The guitar has great string action. The maple neck improves the string action a lot, but sacrifices a little sustain. The knobs and pick-up selector caneasily be manipulated by the pinky, very useful when performing, specially when playing lead. The tuners are sensitive, but they don't drift much and don't buzz at all. Quality: The product is really well made. I've never had a problem with any of it. The only problem is that the satin finish scratches easy. But this quality is worth the tone it creates. Value: This an amazing value. The tone surpassed any higher-priced fender I've ever played Manufacturer Support: I've never had any trouble, so I can't really say anything about support The Wow Factor: Everything important about this guitar is unsurpassable. The tone is amazing; the comfort and ease of playing is amazing; the strat body design and headstock looks cooler than the tele, the sg, the les paul, or the flying v. The transparent finish shows off the wood's grain. Overall: I do not plan on replacing this product ever. It was built to last a lifetime and that's just how long I'm going to use it. The only other guitars that I would like to buy in the future are an acoustic, as no electric can imitate it, and a guitar with double humbucking pick-ups, but it will definitely be another strat.

"Exeptional guitar"

Sound: the pick ups inn this guitar are awesome Feature: First im gonna start wit the finish. This finish is so awesome in sunburst. It really looks like a 54 strat. I love the satin finish. the only downside to this is that is so friggin thin. Other than that, its awesome. The tuning stability is amazing. I sat down for literally 10 min. and tried to make this go out of tune with my whammy bar, but it didnt. It hasnt gone outta tune once! Quality: You can feel the quality in this one. Just how the neck plays, whew, its aming. Excellent quality here. Value: this is an excellent value for an american strat, i think that fender is losing so much money out these guitars. They are so cheap. I reccomend this to any one, regarless of age or skill. Manufacturer Support: never had to deal wit em, ive only had this baby for 4 days The Wow Factor: If i lost this or if it would be stolen, i would sob like a baby. I love it. Overall: This guitar is amazing, from finsih to the original contour body, its all Very very good
