EXCELLENT...Guitar looks feels and sounds quality. They did an excellent job!I adjusted the height of strings, I like it ver low and was able to get a very good low fret action. Bridge is a very High gain Pickup. It has nice sounds with good lows and mids and picks up high freqs really well. The guitar looks showroom quality shiny and pristine. The frets almost look stainless steel. Great guitar for the fender Floyd rose Maple fret board fans. Thanks Fender.

"Great guitar for the money"

My guitars are Gibson LP's and this one was my first foray into Fender Strats. 1st, I will make one very important point regarding the Floyd Rose setup, There is no routed area behind the tremolo's tail. You can depress the arm fully, but based on the height of your action, your pulls will have minimal space to execute ie: 5mm or so. This for me was originally a downer but I made some adjustments and I'm OK with it. For those looking for equal movement in both directions; definitely something to consider. When you pull it will run into the guitars finish. You could consider routing the body later to accommodate deeper pulls. Again, coming from playing Gibson LP's this guitar has a very nice look and feel to it. The sound is most definitely a welcome change although maybe more background buzz then I'm used to - due to the single coils?. The 25.5 Scale length wasn't as jarring as I expected. In fact its easier to play notes frets 12-21 (much less pressure needed to ring notes) and the Strat offers greater access with a deeper cut away. Another detail worth noting. Mine came sans a guitar case. All of my Gibson's shipped with hard guitar cases. This Fender was boxed in Styrofoam popcorn. Unusual experience for me, but it arrived in good shape. A Floyd Rose on any guitar can be finicky out of the box. Mine needed adjustments with the tension springs. I tightened them because it was going out of tune with mild tremolo use. This guitar is definitely a keeper just consider the very shallow pull you'll be able to execute on the FR

"Serious Strat!"

Love this guitar. I boought one about a year ago. I had to set up the bridge to float about 1/16" and restrung with .08's. Plays incredibly. Humbucker is agressive and the single coils sound so stratty its ridiculous. I am no longer a alnico snob as these ceramics sound beautiful. My 17 yo daughter has been playing it and now she is getting one for her birthday. Great sound, great finish. Big bang for 750 dollars. I guess the only complaint I have is a floyd rose guitar without 22 frets seems like a mis-match. Modern tremolo should have a modern neck. Gonna take one star off for that. Also one of the string holders on the floyd rose has a tiny scratch, -1/2 star for that. Haven't needed support yet but zZounds is great. 5 stars.

this guitar is fabulous. Other than the pain of getting a Floyd in tune, setup was pretty close as shipped. After an hour of adjustments, this is a dream to play. And it is gorgeous! Ordered on a Saturday night and was here bright and early Wednesday. Will definitely be using zZounds in the future.

"Strat that kills"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars

Wow, I'm blown away by this guitar. After purchasing I changed string gauge to tens and had it professionally setup, highly recommended and this guitar plays amazingly, as good or better than my American deluxe. I will admit the pickups a a bit brash but I can dial in nicely with volume, tone adjustments quickly. The best thing is sweet blues and rock tone with metal ability and in tune tremolo usage. Let it be known that the Floyd is the Korean version but as far I can tell the only thing missing is the German stamping on back and the engraved F.R. On top plate. One thing that got me so excited was the plus top and how well the finish is, way beyond the web photo ability to portray. I have four electrics and this is the one I'd chose if I could only take one guitar and had to play a variety of styles.
