This guitar is absolutely beautiful. They action is great and the paint job is fantastic. 10/10 would buy again. I live in a house of musicians and I myself am just learning but everyone agrees that it's wonderful.

The Strat that could! Solid wood body, Candy Apple metal flake. 'Red Rooster'! She has a Tele neck, Tele pickup and Tele headstock. A Fender Bass pick guard and knurled volume, tone knobs. Push/pull on the volume, that turns easy for swells. 3 way control knob takes you from Tele, Les Paul neck to combo that is straight Tele madness and the third that is Texas Stratacaster goodness turned up to 11
Sound
When I first plugged her in she was a little 'scratchy'. But once she warmed up, her magnets charged, she began to wail. And hasn't stopped yet!
Features
Her neck is bare, hardly any coating, but it works, her fretwork beautiful. Her paint flawless. Balance and tone, I love it. I love her twang and her soulful ness. I recommend one to anyone.
Ease of Use
The fretwork her fretboard, like butter. Getting sounds, bending notes effortless. Easy to play. Basically a student guitar, like a Les Paul Jr. . Which I equate her with. The 51' Squier Strat. 'The Squier 'Les Paul' Jr.'
Quality
Excellent craftsmanship. Well made. One note make sure you tighten jack nut occasionally
Value
Worth double, triple what you pay. But...as they say 'it's all in the hands'.
Manufacturer Support
No problems here. zZounds support is award winning I 'ass'ume.
The Wow Factor
Having the onky c original design by Squier makes it a collectors item.

I am very pleased with with the fit and finish of this guitar . There are no sharp edges on the frets , the action is very nice (For me) I haven't replaced the strings yet , I played it through a Peavey VK 112 with it on the Class A setting (haven't try AB yet) switched between both pickups , which are decent , especially with the PU selector set to both and the bridge PU set to single coil , that's the setting I like the best . I gave it 5 stars for overall , 4 1/2 on features because if you pull the coil splitting knob too hard it pops off , 41/2 on quality because of the last statement , 5 on the sound , ease of use , value and 3 1/2 wow factor it was only available in red (i'm not a fan of red guitars )and a 10 on recommending this product . I have a Fender Tele , but this one is steadily becoming my fav. I don't play professional , I'm a bedroom musician so the chances of me change out the PU is very unlikely . I gave it a 3 on manufacturer support mainly because I have had no experience with it .
