Feature:
It's a strat. It has a whammy bar which I don' really use on this guitar. But it works fine. 70's headstock is really nice. I love the look.

Quality:
I have been very impressed with the quality of this instrument. Make at the new facilities in Mexico. The quality is wonderful. No flaws in the wood or finish. All components are correct and clean. Feels great and sounds awesome. No mods needed. I have no problems relying on this. I play professionally for a living. Not as a night job. I've had it for 6 months. I love it.

Value:
I'd buy another in a flash!

Desirability:
Feels great. Looks great. Sounds great. It performs and is very enjoyable to play.

Sound:
Exactly what I was looking for. Classic Fender sound. Clean changes between pickups, no unwanted noise.

Support:
So far I haven't used it. That's because it's a great instrument.

Overall:
I intend to alternate this with my PRS and L-5. These should last the rest of my career.

Feature:
a tremlow bridge and a 5 position switch is all you need.

Quality:
the quality is unbeatable. its a fender.

Value:
this guitar is worth every penny you pay for it and more.

Desirability:
the sex appeal of this guitar is of the best. it looks like the jimi hendrix strat.

Sound:
this guitar has a beautiful sound for classic rock or blues or country.

Support:
i havent had to deal with fender but i hear good things.

Overall:
i expect to have this guitar for the rest of me days.

i had to recut and put on a new tusq nut(the original was a little too uneven for me) but i am experienced so it was no big deal! the guitar it self has all the vibe and quality of the the early 70`s models. more around the 1971 `72 range. very nice playing if you love that sort of thing. just plain cool if you are 30 or older and remember the coolness of all strats! i also want and will have one of each of the classic collection! mexico rules!

Feature:
I am very happy with the purchase and no accessories purchased yet.

Quality:
The finish is awesome and flawless, the shiny black looks wet. I wipe it off everytime I play it. I hope to keep this Strat and eventually give it to my son in the future.

Value:
I shopped around and I believe you can't beat it.

Desirability:
It is a wonderful instrument.

Sound:
I thought the guitar went out of tune easily until I tighten down the floating bridge. Once I did it played true. I have a line 6 spider amp and a fbv short board. The sound I believe is wonderful. As my first electric, I truely enjoy it loud.

Support:
I am in process of buying an acoustic and will in the next week.

Overall:
I like the quality and the beautiful finish. It is easy to play for my level. I'm keeping it.

TONS of distinct features. The most unique of all the factory Strats. If buying online, get a painted one because Fender has a bad habit of alternating light and dark woods on the "Natural" ones (looks cheap)...only buy a "Natural" if you can see it first

Gloss finish on neck and body, micro-tilt neck, its all there. The pickups sound great.
Buying this guitar was a way to make up a lost opportunity.

Own this guitar and a custom shop setneck strat. Very hard to tell them apart by playability or tone. An excellent player's guitar!

The 70's classic strat is set up better, built more solid, the finish is better and the playability supercedes any of my "bullet" strats (27 at last count)This guitar is just better, and sounds as full and rich as my '63.
You won't be disappointed with this one unless you just hate the "U" shaped neck sans the hand rounded neck on the new american offerings (also sweet)Buy it now while shipping is free!!!!! NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

The MIM "classic series" are by far the best value in Fender's line. The 70's classic has an awesome quality neck, the body finish is very impressive (I have the sunburst).
