Feature:
Came with the new TSA Case. I would have liked the tweed case but quality and protection wise this is the case. Sturdy balanced and airtight. Got the normal Allen Wrenches, cleaning cloth, generic owners manual, 10' cord and trem bar.

Quality:
I closley inspected and found zero defect on this guitar. The shipping from ZZOUNDS was perfect. Packed to perfection.

Value:
Caught this one before the price increase but before the rebate!!!

Desirability:
It's an America Stratocaster.. Nothing more to say, you just have to have one!!! I bought the new color Blizzard Pearl, looks great. I wanted a Metalic Frost but was not offered.

Sound:
Very impressed with this guitar. I owned a Mexican Strat and it was just ok. Fun and comfortable to play. After receiving this American Strat the difference was like Night and Day. Quiet no buzz the tones from all three pickups was exactly as expected.

Ease of Use:
In the past I have only played Gibsons and Epiphones but when I took the chance and bought the America Strat I am glad I did. With the rolled Fret board I think it is easier to play than my Les Paul. Can't compare the sound between them each are different and great in their own style and way. For a $1200 guitar a product specific Owners Manual would have been nice. But $2500 My Les Paul has a generic one also.

Support:
I only used Fender support in 1970 for my Bandmaster Amplifier. The ready light nut rotated off and shorted out the high voltage transformer. The provided me a Showman to play while my was being repaired. I have owned a 1969 Princton, 1969 Bandmaster, a new Super Champ, Frontman 212 and the two strats. The only problem was the one I said above. That is a good example of excellent products. As far a ZZOUNDS go they are great! I have bought Three Guitars from them all shipped fast and Packaged very well. When I have questions they answered fast and complete. I sent a review on this guitar in May and they did not post so I am doing it again.

Overall:
Very satisfied with the guitar and with ZZOUNDS. I am waiting for the delivery of a Martin OM1 on Tuesday from ZZOUNDS, i am sure it will be Top Notch like the others

Feature:
The case that came included was a very nice feature and so where the strap, cleaning cloth stuff like that and it does bring all the nessesary things to get started.

Quality:
the quality is amazing in the parts that it includes, the finish is beautiful and i wouldnt want it any other way 3-color sunburst i can most likely say that this strat will last me a lifetime thats if you take good care of it and i will depend on it forever.

Desirability:
i wanted this guitar ever since it came out but untill the end of the year almost i finally got it and this strat just looked so sexy when i irst saw it i would rate it a ten out ten just for the reason that the fret board is extra buffered. yet looks arent everything but in this case it has both looks and an amazing sound.

Sound:
This is an amazing strat wth a strat sound that cant get anymore high quaility,the sound is very responsive to my playing from classic rock to , blues, and to clean style playing.I love the sound of this strat because it very bright and i just like the way it is.

Ease of Use:
this strat is very easy to manuever with than my othe guitars because the feeling of it is just amazing and you will get use to it relatively quickly.

Overall:
I dot expect this guitar to satisfy me all the way we are always trying to find more ways to get better things in life and i know there are way better guitars dont get me wrong but that doesnt mean i going to trow this one away this strat shure is a keeper.

Feature:
it has three pickups, a five way switch, two tone controls, and one volume control. theres alot fo room for several different sounds on this guitar.

Quality:
the only reason i gave this a eight is because the tremelo block is kinda weird cuz i cant get the wammy bar all the way in but its not a serious issue for me because its not like im gona need it for the type of music i play. and the bottom tone knob on mine is the tone for the bridge pickup and the other tone is the tone for the neck pickup. i dont know if thats on purpose or it was a mistake but i like it like that.

Value:
tottally worth every penny. i dont regret thi buy at all.

Desirability:
its damn appealing. the black with maple fretboard looks so awsome and the gloss on the neck and headstock is really kool looking.

Sound:
when it comes to stratocasters you know what it will sound like. it will sound like a stratocaster. its a iconic sound in rock n roll music. the sound on mine is perfect for the kind of sound i go for which is that mid range punchy sound. by far the best guitar ive ever played.

Ease of Use:
i just set the tone and volume on this and plug in and rock out.

Support:
havent had to use any support

Overall:
i totaly dont regret buying this guitar. i will keep it for as long as i live.
