Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I plan on having and playing this gear as long as possible with total satisfaction. When I am ready for my next guitar or amp I will not hesitate to look in to the Fender line first.
Sound
Not sure how I can describe the actual sound quality fairly of my guitar or amp, I can say this though I know with out a doubt that Fender guitars and amps are on the top of the line along with a few other great guitars and amps. the items I purchased, sound great to me. Pure Fender quality.
Features
I can set the tones I like and prefer on my guitar, the amp is a bit more complicated as it has built in back tracking and Loop drivers which at this time I am not too familiar with. But they do sound great also.
Ease of Use
Very easy to use and a lot of settings to select from, Yes there will be a learning curve for me, not so much for the instruments.
Quality
Like I said before my personnel opinion Pure Fender Quality
Value
I rate this product a 9 on "worthy" of selling price as I know that there are other top brands names out on the marker just as worthy, But I can rate this product or any other a 10 if they will just come and give it to me at no price Lol !!
Manufacturer Support
Have not had any problems with my guitar or equipment. Have not had to contact any one at Fender or the company where I purchased my gear. Dont feel I will have too??
The Wow Factor
I like Fender guitars, I rate them as I play them. I am looking forward to buying Fender again.

Musical Background:
