"Amazing-good price, durable product, and Stratocaster looks!!! What more do you want??"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I have had this guitar for eight years, and it has served me well. It has very little cosmetic damage, and the only other damage is the broken tremolo(which just broke this month), so it is a very good product.
Sound
Pretty good sound, but the stock strings aren't the best.
Features
My tremolo broke where the whammy screws in, so now my whammy bar is useless.
Ease of Use
Honestly, anyone could use this guitar. It is easy to use, and I can get it to sound like anything between an SG and a Les Paul.
Quality
The only problem I have had is the tremolo(see above) and the nut on the output jack came loose, but that is VERY minor. I have had this guitar for eight years, and it is still in great shape accept for a few bumps and bruises(which every guitar eventually gets).
Value
Very cheap and very good quality. Everyman price and a very durable guitar with a wide range of tones. For beginners and experienced players.
Manufacturer Support
Never had to use it.
The Wow Factor
I has the looks of any strat, metallic paint, and a low price- this might as well have sexy printed on it in high-gloss paint!
