Man what are you waiting for? Go buy it . A guitar this good won't be at this low price for ever. Dude the best thing is, not only is there a fender aerodyne stratocaaster, there is also a telecaster and jazz bass.

Sound
This guitars sound is so amazing .It sounds better than any other guitar in this price range. By far its' sound is superior to IBANEZ,SCHECTER,EPIPHONE,and some FENDERS' themselves . When I hooked it up to my Line 6 spider 2 112 this guitars tone soared up to the the stratosphere it self. If you like alice in chains and the alternative genre , this guitar will help you get the tones.If nt try the Fender Jag-stang, it has sustain switches.

Features
When I bought mine it came with a fender molded case . This guitar is very well made, the parts are genuine fender piecesmade in the United states. The only thing I wished it had would be the S-1 switching,but this guitar came out ayear before it was developed . Does not matter I put it in myself.

Quality
This guitar has an amazing quality. Mine was made in good'ol Mexico. The guitar has a beutiful ebony and cream binding finish,(indeed the true "blackie") I often do gigs and this is my main guitar so I bought it because I know it will last me forever .

Value
THis product is worth every penny,though I would consider the fact that itcost $100 less in the fall od 2004 .

I dealt with fender to see if I could get the parts for te S-1 switching ,they gave me agood idea of how it worked and I put it in . Now it has active circuitry and vesatility .

The Wow Factor
This is a very atractive guitar . The basswood body is curved up and not flat like the other strats fender currently makes,though I asw anew fender with a flamed maple top . This guitar is asteal man you have to buy it.
