SPOTLIGHT REVIEW

VERIFIED BUYER

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.

Sound: The tone is just what I was looking for! The humbucker screams, and the pinch harmonics are incredible! You get that classic Strat feel with an 80's rock sound, and then being able to switch to that SRV rockin blues sound gives me the best of both worlds in one guitar. The clean tones are also incredible, and the sustain seems neverending. Feature: The Floyd Rose is made of the best quality. I have other guitars with a Floyd, but this one is by far a better made, high quality trem. After dive bombing, it returns to pitch perfectly. Awsome! Ease of Use: This guitar is so easy to play, not difficult at all to find the sound your looking for. Quality: Although it was MIM, you can't tell! The craftmanship is outstanding, the finish flawless, with minimal adjustments out of the box. Vertually ready to play when shipped. Value: The price is right! Need I say more. You normally can't get this quality for under a grand! Manufacturer Support: I haven't had to call for support. The guitar is in perfect condition. The Wow Factor: If you love 80's rock, but want the feel and sound of a Strat. Then this is your guitar! I bought mine in midnight wine, and the color is even better than it looks in the pictures online. A deep dark hot red, with chrome hardware, reminds me of driving a classic muscle car! Overall: I will be playing this guitar for the rest of my days, and so will my children, and their chilren, and so on, and so on!

Sound: i give this a 8 because of the dang fret buzz..although you dont hear it threw amp.o can feel it.Mine is perfectly set up and done profesionally any lower on action it would buzz like a kazoo.Guess thats strats for ya.Throu a amp with effects it will scream,but some distortions make this guitar sound like crap.Its not no heaven metal guitar screamer but its a great sounding strat,not as good as the all maple fret..the rose would i think doesnt sound as all maple.You can get a awsome eric johnson sound out of this,satri style sounds good too as well as clapton..now if your going for metal sound go to a schecter with emg active pickups....thatll do ya there Feature: it does stay in tune after whomping on the whammy ,,when its set up right.Mine from factory was going out of tune left and right.Well whoever put it together had the pick gaurd back to far and it was hitting floyd rose ,had to untighten screws and really force pick gaurd towards neck and retighten..now it works like a charm...but nonsense that i had to have this done.And the floyd rose was sloppy on the whammy ,used 2 rubber washers inside hole where whammy bar goes,,nice and tight and not sloppy Ease of Use: easy using,its a strat..great playing Quality: 7 on quality because the half ass job when it was put together.But as far as the wood and the guitar after properly setting up a 10 all the way.Sorry Fender but some dumb ass put this guitar together and i should not of gotten it this way>it cost me 45.00 for a professional set up ,,then still had to return item to guitar shope so they could fix the stupid out of tune problem...errrr Value: the value and price..excellent..this does play like a 2000.00 strat as i have played them..no big difference..note again"IF ITS SET UP RIGHT" Manufacturer Support: i give support a 10 ,,caus ethey were pretty kool and worked with the guitar shop to make it right..They even got right on phone and walked tec in my area throu the procedures..So that was kool .. The Wow Factor: the neck screams,,i can rip up and don this neck and get some nice hiend..this does feel real good playing..but so does my squire hss with 70s headstock..oops did i say squire..yEA that baby it super sweet..the headstock makes it play just like this..nice neck on both Overall: over all a 10 even after the nonsense...it does play like a hi end strat and sounds the same so save the money ,but do be prepared for a set up ..these are not set up all the time correctly from factory
