Feature:
I think the neck of this guitar, is one of the most comftorbal necks i've ever played on. My friends Gibson SG has a painted finnish and is hard to slide when sweating. The wood helps alot.

Quality:
This guitar is put together very well. It vibrates sometimes though when playing acusticaly. My knobs tend to fall off occationally. It was made in mexico. It tends to have a lot of feed back on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th pickup on overdrive. On clean it sounds just like an acustic.

Value:
This value is unbelievable. An American strat is worth triple the amount of money. I will always keep this guitar.

Desirability:
I have the sunburst color and I gotta tell you, it is damn sexy. The color of it just looks so beautiful.

Sound:
The sound is fantastic. It sounds just like an American strat. If i was blindfolded and had to play them both, i wouldn't know the difference. It could use a little more of a crunch sound I think.

Ease of Use:
This is so easy to use. There are only 2 tone knobs and 5 pick ups. You can get many different things out of it.

Overall:
I love this guitar and will never get rid of it. It is the perfect guitar for me. The only thing is that it says made in mexico on it, but when playing it, you feel like Eric Claptin.

Feature:
The features of this guitar are pretty much straight forward and easy to use. The materrials used in the construction appear to be first rate and the finnish on mine was flawless ( makes you start to wonder about the mopre pricey american made models? )

Quality:
From what I have observed on mine, there are NO quality issues to speak of. I went over mine pretty good and can not find any imperfections with the fit and finnish.... I don't know who put mine together, but he was having a great day!!!

Value:
For the price you pay for this guitar for what you will get, it IS one of the best values out there. You can pay much more money for a guitar that isn't half as good.

Desirability:
It's a Stratocaster...what more can be said!!! It's a timeless classic.

Sound:
The sound out of this guitar is fantastic. There are so many different tones you can achieve with this and they all sound great!!!

Ease of Use:
I just got this guitar the other night and it is really easy to play. There are no problems achieving the sounds that I like. I can only immagine how much better this will be when I get it set up properly!!!

Support:
Haven't used it yet....don't really expect to!

Overall:
I'll be keeping this one a long time. Right now I have the "Electron Blue/ rosewood fingerboard" which is absolutely beautiful, but I will also be buying another in "Arctic White/ maple fingerboard".

Feature:
First of all,a gig bag? What a bargain,along with the addition of jumbo frets,which make string bending a lot easier.Also,the shielded compartments add a lot to the sound also.It's nice to play one of these and have no hum coming out.

Quality:
After setting it up,and doing a standard intonation,I could find no faults at all.I couldn't tell the difference between this one and a american made model.That's how good it is.

Value:
Definately worth $399.99.

Desirability:
I have mine in Sunburst finish,which adds a touch of class to it.

Sound:
This has that twangy Fender tone when played clean,and all out balls to the wall with distortion added.The best sounding guitar I've ever had.

Ease of Use:
Very easy to use.I have no problem with it at all.

Support:
Simply put,Fender is a class act,who cares about their customers,and values their opinions.

Overall:
I am going to be using this guitar for quite a long time.I am pleasantly pleased with it.This is the best guitar that I've ever played and owned.I've been playing for 35 years,so,I've owned quite a few,and it doesn't get any better than Fender.

comes with everything you need except for an amp

Quality:
pretty reliable ive had it for a couple years now and have been playing plenty of shows, practicing and letting other bands borrow it and the only cosmetic damage is from a drop, a couple of the volume and tone knobs have stripped but who cares. seems like i will still be using this guitar when i become famous

Value:
i got mine for like 350 or something and i still havent stopped recieving compliments on how easy this guitar is to play and how fun it is to play from people who have les pauls that cost them much more

Sound:
sounds great

Ease of Use:
these guitars are so easy to play, the action is really low

Support:
never dealt with them

Overall:
i started on an acoustic and switched to one of these and i have been 100% satisfied the only thing i want now is a different pic gaurd plate thingy

Feature:
I like the 5-way pick up selector, but I wonder how a neck and bridge setting would sound? Thats the only setting Fender didn't put on this thing.

Quality:
It's Fender, so you know that it's well made.

Value:
Yes, it is a bit expensive, but well worth the money, and all Fenders are at about the same price. You get what you pay for, and this is no exception.

Desirability:
I got the Arctic White version (almost what Albert Hammond of the Strokes plays). This is my first electric guitar, been playing an acoustic for a year, and I chose it over an Ibanez AX-120 that was actually cheaper; I'm not badmouthing Ibanez, but Fender has that brand-name appeal and classic outline.

Sound:
I love it. This guitar is useful for everything.

Support:
I haven't needed them yet, so by default they get a 10

Overall:
I would recommend it to anyone that has the money. I play it through a Marshall MG-15 DFX, another awesome product. The only thing that would would change or put on: locking tuners, a bigger '70s style headstock, and a way to instantly lock/unlock the tremolo. If it was stolen I would cry, then do all I could to first, kill the bastard that stole my Strat, and then either get this one back or buy a new one.
