Feature:
My tremolo broke where the whammy screws in, so now my whammy bar is useless.

Quality:
The only problem I have had is the tremolo(see above) and the nut on the output jack came loose, but that is VERY minor. I have had this guitar for eight years, and it is still in great shape accept for a few bumps and bruises(which every guitar eventually gets).

Value:
Very cheap and very good quality. Everyman price and a very durable guitar with a wide range of tones. For beginners and experienced players.

Desirability:
I has the looks of any strat, metallic paint, and a low price- this might as well have sexy printed on it in high-gloss paint!

Sound:
Pretty good sound, but the stock strings aren't the best.

Ease of Use:
Honestly, anyone could use this guitar. It is easy to use, and I can get it to sound like anything between an SG and a Les Paul.

Support:
Never had to use it.

Overall:
I have had this guitar for eight years, and it has served me well. It has very little cosmetic damage, and the only other damage is the broken tremolo(which just broke this month), so it is a very good product.

Feature:
It's great tuners, great pickups, 5 way toggle switch, good knobs and pots

Quality:
It's an amazing quality guitar; though occassionally the output jack come loose and you have to screw it back in by hand

Value:
amazing guitar. it's good for beginners (it was my first guitar) and advanced players (I still use it). Definitely worth the money

Desirability:
It's a strat one of the sexiest guitars around (honestly it's so sexy I named it roxanne). the only reason I give it an 8 is because I'm a sucker for Flying V and SG style guitars

Sound:
the sound is amazing. I love it a lot. I am planning on switching out the bridge pickup for a humbucker soon (it doesn't really need it but I kinda wanna be able to match my kramer vanguard on the lower end of things). So I give it a nine just because it is a little bit trebley for my taste but still amazing. by amazing I mean I can compete with my friends Gibson (not epiphone) Les Paul (sound quality wise, it beats his because I play it better)

Ease of Use:
you don't have to sit there tinkering for half an hour to get it to work but really ease of use depends on how good you are at playing it.

Support:
well the way I see it if you don't need to call support then the service is great

Overall:
One of the greatest guitars I have ever owned or played (I much prefer it over my friend's les paul, my former guitar teachers epiphone casino, or even guitars in stores that I fantasized about for months only to find out I like my strat better) honestly the only guitar I prefer over this one is my Vanguard (which is probably not as good of quality it's just bassier and fits my playing style better)

Feature:
it comes with a tremelo, however... it throws the guitar out of tune a lot because of the not so good quality strings. Pickups are good for the price.

Quality:
It is made by Fender... what else can i say?

Value:
Great value for money.

Desirability:
It has the classic Strat look, so sexy.

Sound:
Considering the price, compared to other more major brands such as Gibson and Fender itself, it does sound good.

Ease of Use:
Extremely easy to use, great for a first electric guitar.

Support:
Once again, FENDER!

Overall:
All, i can say is great value for money and that for a first electric guitar... this is the one!

Quality:
For a cheap ass guitar, this is the tops. I got one years ago for my very first guitar... in the time since, ive smashed it, thrown it, stomped on it with motorcycle boots, and punched its lights out with my fist (which almost broke my hand.. i don't suggest you do this). Anyway, its got its share of paint chips and dents, but the sucker keeps on playing, and for the abuse stays in tune just fine. amazing.

Value:
Get one, if this is your first guitar or you just need a guitar in a pinch.

Sound:
Sounds like an electric guitar.

my first axe and its been a good one, i havevt had any probems with the guitar and it takes a beaten to. mine took a five foot fall into concrete and only recieved minor scratches. other than that it still plays awesome. the pickups arent great and you really cant tell the diffrence if your gain isnt on thirty and the tremolo gets loose after a while, but other than these minor things it is a great beginner axe.If it were lost i would go for an upgrade but for the price its a great one.

"Great Beginner Guitar As Is"

Feature:
It looks like a Fender Strat. Plus how can you hate the metallic colors?

Quality:
Lemme tell this guitar really holds up man. I've bumped it into walls, desks, the stand and it even flat on it's face two weeks ago and there are no dents or scratches. And as an FYI no it could be a reason my pickups are giving off a buzz LOL

Desirability:
Never had to use it.

Sound:
I've had it since August. At first it sounded good but after February the pickups started to give off a buzzing sound. I plan to upgrade them to Texas Special or Lace Sensors.

Ease of Use:
As said before it's good at first but just be prepared that you might encounter a buzz from your pickups. It's a great practice guitar. I use it now for finger endurance by placing 11 gauge strings to get greater bends and sustain on my Gibson ES 335. But I still love this guitar more as it is my first electric guitar.

Overall:
It's a great beginner guitar as is. If you want you can modify it by adding some new pickups and/or a new neck to meet your standards. That's what I plan to do within the next month.
