zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Fender has it right this year."

Sound: I have the Butterscotch Blonde Strat, It is sweet, nice action, beautiful tone thru a '65 Fender Princeton. Very bright on the bridge pickup. (Actually who am I kdding, all 3 are bright) Feature: Whammy bar came with it, Strap, Case. I don't know why but I like the old Tweed cases that you used to get when you spent a bundle on a guitar over the new plastic case. Can't fit anything in it. Quality: It is well made. I can't find anything cosmetically wrong with it. The finish is beautiful. (Butterscotch Blonde) Value: With all this being said, I compare my USA strat to my China Squire and for the most part (yea I know the pickups and finish and quality of wood re much better on the USA Strat), but the actual feel is so close to the Squire that I believe unless you really have to have the USA strat (Like I did), save yourself 700 bucks and buy the Squire or the MEXI Manufacturer Support: Fender is and has always been a top notch organization and I have never had to worry about service from them or their partner retailers. The Wow Factor: Hey, it's a USA Strat. My dream guitar (this week)..... Overall: Oh, this axe will be with me for a while.

"Wonderful"

Sound: Awesome clean and lightly overdriven /distorted tone.....creamy and smooth......however, the heavily distorted tones are not as good they tend to get very muddy (with the 3 single coils)........I use a Boss MT2 and GT8........the MT2 sound svery muddy with it but the GT8 purrs with it, especially with delays and OD's...class Feature: The hardcase is very nice and sturdy, the strap buttons are not so big like PRs that you can't even get the button over, but are not so small like gibson that you cant swing the guit round for fear of dropping it.......just right....body is light and maple neck is smooth and unblemished, playes like a dream..... Ease of Use: very easy, 1 volume, 2 tone....perfect...... however, the neck is actually pretty large, so ppl with small hands will need to work a little while to get used to it ....but it was worth the work.... Quality: Very well made........ Value: Very, very expensive.......worth it but expensive Manufacturer Support: Will not need to........ The Wow Factor: To those who know their guitars...the tone is so sexy you would kill for it... but for those who don't, the design is very plain....... Overall: I will use this as my main axe for a very long time.........no doubt......buy this one
