"Read me...Yoohoo"

Feature:
Least useful feature was the whammy bar but hell some people like that kind of stuff.This guitar seems pretty solid.Ive takin it to a bunch of parties and havnt had it broken yet.Had a friend give it some trailor park pizzazz by drawing tribal crap all over the pick gaurd.I really like the way it looks.

Quality:
For 100 bucks it has held up like a champ.Sounds decent and feels great.

Value:
I'd say it is worth it.And hell Im poor.

Desirability:
The sunbust color is ok I guess.Not really into the whole looks thing.My friends havnt said anything bad about it.Had a few comments about they way it looks but the ones who comment about it probably dont know too much about instruments.

Sound:
Sounds pretty good for a low cost no bull guitar.I dont use the whammy bar much because it throws it out of tune everytime I do.Other than that and oh yeah the output jack keeps coming loose.But yeah other than that it has held up just fine.I was playing on a spencer something or other and decided to paint it and messed up the electronics so I bought this.I liked the other neck(spencer neck was smoother)so I changed them.Had to drill new holes in the spencer neck but it works just fine with this guitar.

Ease of Use:
The neck that came with it was nowhere near as smooth as my other guitars neck so I changed them.That being said Im sure with a tid bit of sandpaper someone could get the same type of feel.Dont get me wrong the original neck is very playable but I just prefered the other one.

Support:
Havnt needed them.

Overall:
Great guitar for the money.Buy it,steal it or borrow it and try it out.

"get it if you are low on cash..or a beginner..."

Feature:
i dont use the whammy bar so i'd rather have a stop tail..but i just took it out and never use it and it works fine...the tuners are great for the price...strings dont ever fall to bad...and the pickups are fine..i switched mine out with fender vintage noiseless but it sounded fine with the PUs it came with and only hums a little

Quality:
it's quality is great except for the quarter inch output...it keeps coming loose so i have to take it out every week or so to tighten it...but other than that it's great

Value:
it's great for a beginner and you could probably even do a little gigging with this... but if you have the money get a fender standard strat...but if you are on a tight budget this is the way to go

Desirability:
looks exactly like a fender except the head stock is shaped different

Sound:
it doesnt sound bad..but it isnt a fender...it is a great sound for the price though and would recomend it for a beginner

Ease of Use:
It plays pretty close to a standard strat and it's pretty easy to get out a nice sound....but it is a little hard to get the fastest of soloes on this

Support:
never used it so i dont really know

Overall:
For the most part i'm glad i got this guitar...it hasnt ever "let me down" but now i'm starting to buy upgrade parts for it so soon all that will be left is the body...but just to start out with and play on an electric is worth it
