"bargain!"
I read a few good reviews and decided to give it a try (2nd hand), especially as they go for rather little money. boy what a pleasant surprise. beautiful instrument. very resonant. nice bidseye maple neck and fretboard, neck feels great with smooth satin finish, soft v-shape. transparent 2 piece ash body. build quality is immaculate. lots of sustain for strat standards, very nice action and playability. seymour duncans sure pack a punch, matter of taste, but seem to fit the ash body very well. strong attack.
I got some 10 guitars around here and this is the cheapo of the bunch, but it actually grew on me and is one of the most played guitars by now. I sold 2 more "reputable" strats (american standard, '91 and 84) recently as the lite ash felt more satisfying to me.
highly recommended, especially for the bargain money it goes for. no brainer.
