"Great Guitar"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Unfortunately I have GAS (Guitar Aquisition Syndrome)!! It won't be long before I convince myself I need another.
Sound
Not the best sound, but very good nonetheless. Needs a little help from the equipment.
Features
Great finish and a fast neck and beautiful tone. It even seems to have some sort of natural reverb or is that my ears!?! Stays in tune no matter what I do to it! Was even delivered in tune.
Ease of Use
Couldn't be easier to use. Being a leftie, I find it easier to get what I need from Fender. Straight out from the case, a few adjustments and away I went.
Quality
Looks like it would last for a long time. My only worry is that the diamond would eventually pop out. Only problem I have is that the low E does not line up over the neck pickup.
Value
Good value for money.
Manufacturer Support
Never needed them
The Wow Factor
Already got it.

Musical Style:

Rock / Blues
