Feature:
Oh, my, it is so like the original '57.
Quality:
Fender Stratocasters are famous for their dependability. Tough as nails. But prettier than nails. As you may be aware, some nails are downright visually unpleasant.
Value:
This guitar is fantastic! Worth every expensive penny. Of course, when compared to other makers prices on their American products, it is especially valuable.
Desirability:
This guitar is just plain beautiful! Simple beauty is not lost here. I like a guitar that does not weigh me down with tons of HARDWARE. This 57 Strat is so light and easy to cope with. Minimal knobs, buttons, switches, and no lights flashing, no 75-page manuals. Its appeal is there.
Sound:
Oh, my, it do zounds so good.
Ease of Use:
It's a Strat. Plug it in, play it and get down with your funky self.
Support:
Fender is famous for not-so-good online support. Imagine a company as vast as Fender has become, and imagine trying to cope with all the stuff they get! That's why they have dealers. To DEAL with all the stuff! See? I have dealt with said dealer, and have come away satisfied.
Overall:
Like wow man! Like this is the ax! Forget all you ever THOUGHT you knew about tone! I mean this is THE ax! Its very construction brings it into a realm all it's own! I don't own one yet, but I played one at my buddy's place, and I got to have me one of these real quick. Something magic about it. Something too complex to describe. This is not just a guitar. It's ALIVE! I'm gonna be ordering it just as soon as I'm finished telling you people how great I think this ax is, though I'm having trouble actually puting my finger on any particular reason that I like-no, LOVE-it so much! there are just too many!. Maybe I should get me two, or three. . . is there a legal limit to how many I can have? Whew! Maybe a shrink I could use. Oh, and the case. Don't you forget about the case. Tweed. And the strap. Real leather. And the chrome bridge cover. Real chrome. . . and. . . So as soon as I'm done here, I'm going to get me one and NEVER sell it! NEVER!
