i really like blues....i have played various axe...but when i tried this left-handed standard strat..i have found what kond of blues sound i ve been looking for......

Just Try it..and You'll love it !

Feature:
pots are weak, the pickups are loud, but the tone isn't great. the 5 way switch is cheaper than the americans... the trem block is substandard import quality... nothing to brag about but its all there.

Quality:
these were made to compete with cheap imports, and bring in some of the money that once leaked to japan and korea.

Value:
buy it used, or buy an american. a real american, and not a highway 1.

Sound:
there is a difference between ceramic and alnico magnet pickups. it isn't just the differences in their magnetic qualities. it is the fact that alnico magnet pickups have 6 small magnets and ceramic magnet pickups have 1 magnet with 6 steel polepieces. if the presence, or absence of tone pickups in the chain effects the tone, what do you think having a different number of magnets will do? these pickups suck, unless you're a bad contemporary country musician.

Ease of Use:
these aren't very well crafted. that translates to an uncomfortable neck profile and so-so frets.

Overall:
i would advise you to go see the guitar and play it in person. quality varies and some are pretty good, while others are not.

Feature:
it says standard stratocaster doesnt it? so everything u get is standard...it says it..it has it...

Desirability:
beautiful

Sound:
i would give the stock pickups an 8...8 means very good...but very good doesnt mean it cant get better..so I replaced it with a vintage noiseless etc etc etc watvea...and now it sounds great

Support:
EXTREMELY FRIENDLY! I MAILED THEM ONE DAY AND REPLYED TWO DAYS LATER!

Overall:
great for beginners and for long time users...i recommend changing the pickups and tuners
