"Dont know why anyone would pay for an american with this available. setup in strats and any other fender is what makes the soun"
Sound: sounds better than the american .... I played em side by side atthe store (didnt buy it from this site)..this one is a little more bell-tone sounding...i hate when people say its a good beginner guitar..I think the squire is better for beginners considering they only cost 150$ . sounds of guitars are all different due to neck curve string height and wood used..even if same type wood. I actually like light weight wood as it is less hard sounding. Feature: simple and true to the original strat..american strats have funky features i dont need. Quality: wood and metal ..just like the original..prolly better. Value: less than half of an american. if u really want the loud pickups ( i don't) buy some and put em in..u still save a bundle. Manufacturer Support: fix it urself. what do u want for $350? The Wow Factor: I'd rather have my Jazzmaster that was ripped-off..but strats are always nice. Overall: I think the problems ppl have if any with this are personal taste issues and not quality.
Style of Music: other world...u wouldnt understand..series of beeps and tones to contact planetary life

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Can't Pass up this deal!"
Sound: My style is mostly blues and Pink Floydish rock. Sometimes I like to mess around with heavy metal, but I use my Les Paul for that. The pickups are amazing for stock and I really have no desire at all to replace them. They can be a bit noisy with a lot of gain, but for middle-of-the-road distortion, you can't beat this. The clean sound I get is pretty close to my Highway One Stratocaster with vintage Jeff Beck Noiseless pickups. I'm not kidding! Feature: It only came with a nice gig bag, which I replaced with a nice Gator hardshell case, but still for only $400, I feel like I still owe Fender more money for this guitar. The springs for the tremolo were only three, so I added the extra two and it works perfect for me. I don't do dives with the whammy, so it stays in tune for a very long time. Ease of Use: I get all sounds I desire from this guitar. The neck is very easy to be fast with and it fits very well. The contours of a stratocaster just mold to a person's body anyway, and this thing fits like a glove. It comes with a real nice owners manual that covers a lot of maintenance and repair, but it should go to a luthier with anything major. Quality: There's just no difference to me that it was made in Mexico. These are American Fender parts and with a nice alder body and maple neck/maple neck, I could not be happier. I'm not at all worried about anything breaking on me, and I'd take it on the road without hesitation. It's solid! Value: Like I said, for $400, it's a supreme deal and I would have paid more for something with this quality. Manufacturer Support: Never had to deal with support. The Wow Factor: It's black and it came with a white pickguard, white knobs, and white pickup covers. All the white parts have been replaced with black and it's a sexy black beast now. I adore it's looks! Overall: I'll play this for a long time, maybe the rest of my life. I can't imagine ever having a need or want to replace it. Thank you Fender!!!! If it were lost or stolen, I'd cry like a little girl and then do everything in my power to replace every single piece of it. If I had $400 more to spare, I might go all out on an American standard, but there's only a slight difference.
Style of Music: Rock, Blues, Fusion, sometimes a little Metal
