Fender Roland Ready Strat Customer Review

Overall: 4 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Sound
Nice typical strat sound. Synth response with the Roland GR20 is excellent.
Features
Love the built in Roland pickup. Much better than an add on GK 3.
Ease of Use
Easy to use and maneuver the controls.
Quality
The neck needs continual tweaking at first. It is like the truss rod tightens, then backs off again when left alone for a day or two.
Value
Nice guitar for the money, especially with the Roland synth capability.
Manufacturer Support
Haven't needed product support.
