This is a great addition for anyone to own and play! For most people, the neck radious is going to be very easy to get those tones out! This is a fast playing, hot sounding guitar and as you already should know, if you have any issue at all, zZounds has fantastic customer service to help. What's not to like about it? The noiseless pickups have that "singing" Bell like tone that makes the Stratocaster famous. Do not allow anyone to tell you about this guitar, buy one, play it and fall madly in love with how this guitar sounds after you get it set up and going! That is how you should do it. Pay no mind to negative reviews. I was lucky as to this guitar, it was given to me as a birthday gift from a relative that purchased from zZounds.

The pick ups are noiseless when they were adjusted. This quitar plays easily and the tone is rich. It sounds like a professional instrument.

The color on this guitar is wonderful. However, the cost for what you get on this instrument is not good. First the good... of course the color is fun and unique and great to look at and the saddles on this guitar are perfect and wont tear up the furniture or your hands and lastly the locking tuners are great and keep the guitar in tune especially on those dive bombs. Now the bad...First and foremost, It has a modern C neck profile which is fine if you are a beginner but many of my musician friends hate them. It's sad, but lately the modern C or the deep C is the only neck Fender seems to wants to pump out. Every stage musician I know only uses a soft V, mid sixties C or an oval shape...but mostly a soft V. Secondly, the bridge has a zinc block which is just no good for sustain or sound transfer (steel is needed). Lastly, Fender noiseless pickups...to my ear and every musician I have ever met that played guitar (save Eric clapton)...just doesn't cut it. As far as what's left on the guitar it's all pretty common and relatively cheap to make or buy. The price on this guitar seems way to high, and for me to buy it just for the positive items I have already mentioned seems a waste. Honestly, after the neck replacement, the bridge and block replacement (not the saddles) and the pickup replacement, I would be out another six to eight hundred dollars just because I like the looks of this guitar. AHHHH...NO. I love Fender guitars but for the last two to three years there has not been one single new guitar that I would buy. PEACE
