"Super Versatile Guitar"

Feature:
The Roland pickup is amazing. My church bought this guitar for the praise band and I play it almost every Sunday. I really love the humbucker setting--it really feels and sounds like some powerful humbuckers.

Quality:
It's a Fender. Fit and finish are superb. Neck and frets are smooth and easy to play.

Value:
It is expensive, but when compared to buying all the guitars that this guitar replaces, it is a good value.

Desirability:
The Stratocaster style is the most mimicked body in the industry. It's great.

Sound:
Sounds like a regular Strat with the Roland turned off, and sounds like a Strat, Tele, Les Paul, and acoustic with the Roland on. Each of these has multiple tunings that are very easy to select.

Ease of Use:
Straight-forward, easy knobs to select tunings and guitar models. No buttons or digital/LCD displays--just turn the knob where you want it.

Support:
Have not had to deal with manufacturer.

Overall:
I love playing this guitar. Before church starts, I can put in drop D and play some rock through the humbucker setting. For the opening hymn, I switch it back to Strat or acoustic and it sounds sweet and clean.
