This Guitar has a great feel and sound and is a big improvement when I compare it to my mexican made Strat which was also a good buy. This guitar also has a great finish and is so much easier to tune and stays in tune much better than my old strat. It is one of the best buys I've ever made.

What a beautiful instrument. I find the neck to be super smooth and easy to play. I love the classic fender sound. The fit and finish on this guitar is excellent. No problems with the one I owe. I did have to go through three identical models to get the right one for me.

Plays and sounds great through my Fender Hot Rod Deluxe. I highly recommend it. Go American Fender and in 20 years it'll probably be worth more than you gave for it.

This is one of the highest quality Strats ever produced from Fender. They play smoother than any other Strat I've played, and they sound better, too. Why Fender is giving $100.00 off the price is beyond me. You better get one before the rebates expire; this is a once in a lifetime event to own one of the best production Strats ever made. You won't be sorry.

It had a good feel to the nick. Seemed to fit my hand very well. I was never a Fender guitar fan. I always played Gibson SG's and Les Paul's before. But after trying it I had to have it. Very smooth feel. It will give me a different sound than the Les Paul. I tried the Maple nick but didn't like the feel. I liked the feel of the Rosewood fretboard.

Feature:
What more could you ask for than what it already comes with? From the whammy bar to the tone selections it's on of the best out there. All the good materials and craftsmanship that made Fender so excellent back in the day.

Quality:
Some big companies tend to lose their quality over the years, but Fender is one of those guys that tend to stand up to their reputation and delivery one of the best guitars ever made with the quality you can expect from a legend!

Value:
Well worth it!

Desirability:
In my experience, the American Strat is all the guitar you'll ever need. It feels great to play and has a thin neck, so it's easier to reach the strings you need when you need to.

Sound:
The sound quality is great even on small amps, but it really shines on the bigger, better amps out there. I play different styles and it all sounds good. The 5 way pickup select switch with the tone controls help you get the sound you're looking for. With so many products out there it's easy to get the sound you want. More recent pickups are the Seymour Duncan Rail pickups to get that humbucker sound in a single coil sized package!

Support:
I've never had a problem with this guitar, but they were fairly easy to reach and helped me with any questions I've had!

Overall:
I'll be playing this for years to come. The only other guitar I may add to my collection is the Schecter Omen 7 string for it's extra B bass string, but nothing will replace the Strat. It does everything I'll ever need it to do and then some.
