Sound: This guitar growls as well as screams......The low tones sound incredible. Its glassy tones are what you would expect out of a strat. The position switches give you just about any sound you would want. Feature: Accessories consist of needed tools for a setup. Adjusting the action as well as the neck bow is easy.This guitar is very well constructed with high quality materials from the gold plated hardware to the solid woods used for the neck and body. Its weight gives a very solid high quality feel. You can feel the awsome resonance through the neck and body as you strum the strings. Ease of Use: A decent quality amp will produce beautiful tones with this sweet guitar. I play mine through a Mustang III as well as a G-Dec 30 and it sounds beautiful. I can imagine what it sounds like through a tube amp. Thats next on my list. This was an upgrade for me as I played a lower quality guitar and its amazing how it has improved my playing, very easy neck. Quality: Solid construction, you can just feel the quality. Finish is spot on, very easy to clean shiny. Keeps in tune extremely well regardless of the whammy bridge, they nailed it with this one. Value: I cannot find a reason to buy a more expensive guitar as this one is as absolutely just as good as any american strat, no question. Manufacturer Support: Havnt needed any help with this and doubt I will. The Wow Factor: Mine is gorgeous with the 3-color sunburst and rosewood neck and gold hardware it looks killer. Overall: As a beleiver in variety, I will probably suppliment this with a different guitar some day, but for now no need to, maybe a new tube amp.

Sound: the sound is just absolutley amazing. hook it up to the right amps/pedals and you can get any sound out of this amazing thing. the pickups are just amazing you dont get any feedback or anything. Feature: this guitar looks sooooo much better in person than in picture. if your thinking of not buying it because you dont think it looks as bright an as brilliannt as it should be, think again. this thing shines like a pearl. the gold hardward looks awesome on the guitar. the only thing is that when i buy this guitar im going to rip the little rubber thing off on the top of the whammy bar cause i dont really think it complements the guitar very well. Ease of Use: i have never found an easier guitar to toy around with its sounds. i have a schecter and sometimes the sound effects get a little messed up. one of my favorite parts about this guitar is how easily you can bend a string up. its just pure insanity. the neck is extremley fast. just buy it. Quality: the finish is absolutley beautiful. thats all i have to say. the most beautiful guitar ever. Value: god for all the money it costs...buy it. they're practically giving this guitat away. absolutley amazing. The Wow Factor: just beautiful Overall: best guitar ever buy it!!!!

Sound: Sounds great! Feature: cool push-button switch for blending in the neck pickup and the noiseless pickups were a big selling point and why I purchased this guitar... The finish (honey blond) is beautiful and looks best with the gold hardware compared to the other finish options(IMHO)- Ease of Use: well - terrible job on fret finish and an inspector who signed off on this neck made what could of been a beautiful guitar seem cheap, shoddy and not even worthy of a Squier decal so ease of use is not what it could have and should have been... (probably cuts cheese or lettuce pretty good though) Quality: Fender, you let me down! This is my first ever brand new guitar and for a "top of the line MIM model" that cost 600 bucks you should be ashamed that it ever shipped! Value: As it stands right now the value is way down on the rating scale - nothing "deluxe" about this neck, that's for sure...I'm pissed! Terrible fret installation. The tech/inspector either does not know what they're doing or does not care! Manufacturer Support: just got off the phone with Fender - very surprised rep on the other end...all they'll offer is for an Authorized Fender Repair Facility to finish the job that should've been done right at the factory - no cost to me - (what else can they do?) but I will let my tech finish this guitar for Fender because I do not want to be without this axe for more than a couple of days. The Wow Factor: It's gorgeous and sounds amazing! Overall: I'm not satisfied yet. I'm sure after it's filed/smoothed properly it will be one bad ass guitar...

Sound: This guitar sounds awesome! The tones are unbelievable. Lots of variety. I use the PodXT Live but just plugging this sucker in direct sounds incredible! Feature: Very beautiful and packed with features. 5 blade position switch plus more pick up combos available with the push of a button. Beautiful I tell you! Ease of Use: Just plug in and play. The sound is there and again there's many different tones! Quality: Mine is the 3 color sunburst and it is absolutely gorgeous. The craftsmanship is fantastic. I've played on strats far more expensive and this one sounds and plays just as good! It's all I need... Value: Worth waaaaaay more than what I paid. Manufacturer Support: Fender is a great company that goes above and beyond to satisfy their customers. I haven't had to deal with them personally but I have friends that have and they all say support has been remarkable when needed. The Wow Factor: See above... Beautiful! Overall: I'll have this guitar forever! No need to buy another.

Sound: I love the sound of this guitar. It has very warm bass notes in just about every pickup combination. Classic Strat sound, and a pickup combination for every style. Lots of sustain, perfect intonation. Feature: I gave this category a nine because, well, how many features do you want on a Strat, and still be able to call it a Strat? It has the selector button which gives a wider range of pickup combos, and a tremolo bar (which is very, very sensitive, by the way). As for the switch, the changes are very subtle, and I don't use it much. The x-tra switch was not a factor for me, and I would have bought it with or without. Ease of Use: What other rating can you give a Strat? Plays like butter. I like the bullet strings that came on it, and I haven't replaced them yet. I lowered the overall action just a hair and raised the low E until the buzz dissappeared, but other than that, I haven't changed a thing, and it was more than playable right out of the shipping box. Quality: This guitar is made in Mexico, which in itself is not a problem, but they do not have the quality control of the Amercan factory Strats, which are, of course, much more expensive. I sent back the first one I recieved. The gold plug-in plate was buckled upwards as a result of the holes being drilled to close together. While this is a very small cosmetic blemish, but I didn't like the way it arched away from the body. The replacement was much better. The first one I got was also a different color than described: not a sapphire blue, but a rather greenish blue. It was very pretty, and I would have kept it simply for the uniqueness factor if it hadn't have been for the other blemish. Value: This guitar is a pretty good value. If given the choice, knowing what I know now, I would buy this same guitar for the same price all over again. I don't regret a penny spent on it. Manufacturer Support: So far as I can tell, Fender considers its customers a pesky but necessary evil. They were almost impossible to contact. Also, when I tried to find a different pickguard to put on it for purely cosmetic reasons, I found that there are no pickguards made for this guitar. Because it has the x-tra button, and therefore x-tra hole, I would have to by a standard pickuard and drill the hole myself. The Zzounds.com staff, however, were more than helpful. The Wow Factor: This guitar is total eye-candy. Classy, but a bit out of the ordiary, as far as Strats go. Mine is the sapphire blue finish, and one of the prettiest I've seen. The gold hardware really compliments the blue, and though the brown celluloid pickgaurd is top quality 3 ply, and classic-looking, I plan on replacing it with either a gold plated one, or maybe a black abalone or white pearl, something that will really bring out the blue. Overall: I will never sell this guitar. It will be an heirloom of my kingdom, haha. I named it Mabel, by the way.

Sound: The sound is perfectly clear that is fit for infinite styles of playing.The noiseless pickups even out the sound among the strings to where no string stands out. In my opinion, it's perfect. Feature: The guitar has all of the features of a standard strat (Pickup options, tremolo bridge, etc.) only better quality for the most part. The vintage noiseless pickups are an upgrade. There is also a button that supposedly allows another 5 pickup options, but I don't notice any difference in them and the normal options, so don't buy the guitar anticipating those. Ease of Use: The guitar is equipped with super bullets. In other words, it plays extremely easily. It's fit for all technical styles of playing. Quality: While still a Mexican strat, it has the quality of an American. Perhaps better. Value: It sounds like a $2,000 guitar. Definately worth the price. Manufacturer Support: Fortunately I've never needed support. The Wow Factor: The guitar comes in a variety of colors, all with a brown pickguard. Personally I find the Honey Blonde and Sapphire the most attractive. Plus the gold hardware illuminates the guitar, quite literally on stage. Overall: I plan to play this guitar as long as I ever play. It has the sound, look, and playability that any guitarist wants.

SPOTLIGHT REVIEW
VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Overall: This guitar was one of the most superb instruments I have ever played. It is by no means a low end guitar. I really value the wide tonal range and all of the subtleties that are found even on an American strat. The fretboard is impeccable and the action is the smoothest I have experienced ever. I have made this guitar a vital addition to my primary instruments (Ibanez RG series/Gibson Les paul Studio/Paul reed Smith Santana). The only minor adjustment that I made was on the bridge to suit my preferences. I must be perfectly honest in that I would prefer this instrument over the American strat due to pricing and craftsmanship. I would be more than glad to make another purchase in the near future. HOwever, I was hoping to find something similiar to the Fender jazzmaster in the near future. I will keep my eyes and ears open for any future developments. Overall, I am grateful to Zounds for allowing feasible financing and the luthiers Mexico for bringing it all together. I am one happy musician.:)
