"The best guitar in the world!"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
whenever i need a new guitar, i'm just going to buy another one of these, exactly the same, but new.
Sound
it is the best sounding guitar i've ever played
Features
i wish it had a hardtail bridge
Quality
i've had mine for almost exactly a year, some of the finish is wearing off of the neck along the edges by the frets
The Wow Factor
the stratocaster is the best looking guitar to me. I got mine with the maple neck and surf pearl finish and i love to just sit and look at it.

Musical Style:

rock
