Feature:
It only came with a nice gig bag, which I replaced with a nice Gator hardshell case, but still for only $400, I feel like I still owe Fender more money for this guitar. The springs for the tremolo were only three, so I added the extra two and it works perfect for me. I don't do dives with the whammy, so it stays in tune for a very long time.

Quality:
There's just no difference to me that it was made in Mexico. These are American Fender parts and with a nice alder body and maple neck/maple neck, I could not be happier. I'm not at all worried about anything breaking on me, and I'd take it on the road without hesitation. It's solid!

Value:
Like I said, for $400, it's a supreme deal and I would have paid more for something with this quality.

Desirability:
It's black and it came with a white pickguard, white knobs, and white pickup covers. All the white parts have been replaced with black and it's a sexy black beast now. I adore it's looks!

Sound:
My style is mostly blues and Pink Floydish rock. Sometimes I like to mess around with heavy metal, but I use my Les Paul for that. The pickups are amazing for stock and I really have no desire at all to replace them. They can be a bit noisy with a lot of gain, but for middle-of-the-road distortion, you can't beat this. The clean sound I get is pretty close to my Highway One Stratocaster with vintage Jeff Beck Noiseless pickups. I'm not kidding!

Ease of Use:
I get all sounds I desire from this guitar. The neck is very easy to be fast with and it fits very well. The contours of a stratocaster just mold to a person's body anyway, and this thing fits like a glove. It comes with a real nice owners manual that covers a lot of maintenance and repair, but it should go to a luthier with anything major.

Support:
Never had to deal with support.

Overall:
I'll play this for a long time, maybe the rest of my life. I can't imagine ever having a need or want to replace it. Thank you Fender!!!! If it were lost or stolen, I'd cry like a little girl and then do everything in my power to replace every single piece of it. If I had $400 more to spare, I might go all out on an American standard, but there's only a slight difference.

Feature:
simple and true to the original strat..american strats have funky features i dont need.

Quality:
wood and metal ..just like the original..prolly better.

Value:
less than half of an american. if u really want the loud pickups ( i don't) buy some and put em in..u still save a bundle.

Desirability:
I'd rather have my Jazzmaster that was ripped-off..but strats are always nice.

Sound:
sounds better than the american .... I played em side by side atthe store (didnt buy it from this site)..this one is a little more bell-tone sounding...i hate when people say its a good beginner guitar..I think the squire is better for beginners considering they only cost 150$ . sounds of guitars are all different due to neck curve string height and wood used..even if same type wood. I actually like light weight wood as it is less hard sounding.

Support:
fix it urself. what do u want for $350?

Overall:
I think the problems ppl have if any with this are personal taste issues and not quality.

Feature:
very nice bridge and tremelo. i love it.

Quality:
very nice and smooth neck especially. i have had this guitar for a little over a year, i've learned a lot. i've only had to change a string once, in my whole ownership of it. VERY NICE!

Sound:
great sound, no complaints.

Ease of Use:
from begginers to experts, jazz or rock. wide range of musical ability.

Overall:
i am currently buying a schecter damien fr, but im sure i will be playing my fender strat until my fingers fall off.

Feature:
great parts, beautiful wood, lovely finish. mine is artic white.

Quality:
it is made in mexico so is not quite as good as the usa ones but pretty amazing anyway. i have had this quite a while and feel it will do me for many more years to come.

Value:
you pay for a fantastic guitar but is slightly pricey when buying at rrp.

Desirability:
smooth curves and nice neck, you can't get better than that

Sound:
fantastic guitar, uniquie sound. fantasic for for hard rock, rock and blues and fast lead liks and solos. i find it suits any age player but because of the price it is in more of the range of someone who wants a real fender and is more experienced at the guitar

Support:
havent needed to!

Overall:
a great all rounder. no wonder it is the guitar of so many famous people, hendrix and clapton are just a very small pick of the bunch. and i hate to go away from my guitar!

Feature:
It could have come with a case or something but it still has a whammy bar so that's good.

Quality:
Tis guitar seems likt it will last forever. It has great quality for a 400 dollar guitar.

Value:
Definately worth it if you're on a tight budget.

Sound:
For the price that this guitar comes at, the sound is awesome. I don't even own a big wig amp and it still sounds great. Nice and clean when the volume is at 5 but once you get it up to 7 and higher it gets a great sounding light distortion that i love.

Ease of Use:
Plug and play.

Overall:
Very versitale. Blues, rock, jazz, it's all here.

Value:
I got the fender kit it was a great sale/ deal..

Support:
can use instruction dvd/ video...

Overall:
Will not search for another guitar product until I learn and get used to it...

Feature:
N/A Didn't come with any accessories just the guitar

Quality:
It feels well built mine has no design flaws what-so-ever no paint chips or anything I gave it a nine because its not an American Strat. Which has better quality wood

Value:
This guitar was worth every buck that I spent on it

Sound:
The sound on here is good it can be a bit twangy if I'm using too much reverb but other then that its a good sounding guitar and it fits my needs in terms of sound

Support:
N/A

Overall:
This is a good guitar for the Intermediate guitarist or for a pro who's low on cash. I think this guitar will last me for many years to come
