"Wonderful Instrument"

Sound:

Sounds great in all 5 switch positions. Stock pickups are very focused and have the bell like Strat tones.

Feature:

Comes with case, whammy bar, tools, strap, and a cord.

Ease of Use:

Easy to get bluesy tones, or rock tones. It is possible to get some county twang out of it also.

Quality:

The American Strat is well made with quality woods and electronics. the neck fits tightly into the body just as it should. Fret work is good on both of mine.

Manufacturer Support:

I have e-mailed with questions and received a response within 24 hrs. Very good compard to other companies I have dealt with.

Value:

You get what you pay for and I hate to see prices keep climbing, but it is worth the price and it is made by skilled craftsmen here in the USA. You can find a deal every now and then at a lower price.

The Wow Factor:

No guitar feels better in your hands than an American Strat.

Overall:

I own 2 American Strats and I will kep them forever. One I will leave with the stock pickups. The other I have changed the pickups to get some heavier tones. I would never want to be without at least one of these guitars, and I am blessed to have them.

"Way of the legend"

Sound:

The sound of the Fender A Series Strat Could Be Better, It is flat and not what you would expect from one, the finish is timeless the action superb, the pickups muddy i am going to buy new ones for the strat, this is the only major hang up. Les pauls do sound more pleasent.

Feature:

The features are the biz, amazing.

Quality:

This product has the best quality i have seen on a guitar, every detail flawless.

Manufacturer Support:

Never had to use the support as of yet anyway.

Value:

Cheaper than a gibson but i have a les paul and it sounds like god.

The Wow Factor:

Sexy sexy sexy hard to take you're eyes of, i would say one of the most pleasing to the eye guitars, Eye candy

Overall:

I am quite restless but i enjoy playing the blues on this guitar so that to me says alot

Fender American Series Stratocaster (Maple, With Case) Customer Review

Sound:

I alwys judge a guitars sound quality clean,with no effects or gadgets.I've never played a Strat I didn't like.However in my opinion,my own Strat is about as fine a guitar two hands have ever loved.I have alot of unanswered questions about my guitar as it is :some kind" of special edition.All original,gold hardware,maple neck,fretboard with black dot{s}at the appropriate places,headstock is factory painted the same color as the body,which I'm sure is an indicator of something different and rare,as is the headstock decal that says Fender Stratocaster. Mine says Fender "Strat".Serial number is also on headstock, E024966 Can someone please help me identify my guitar?

Feature:

If you can play,it has everything you need.If you're just starting,you should be so lucky to learn on a Strat.I learned on a Silvertone.Wih I still had it.

Quality:

This rating based on past practice with my own Strat.

Manufacturer Support:

Never spoke with the company as this was a private sale.

The Wow Factor:

They fit soooo good.But very heavy after 3-4 sets,which is the exception to the rule because I've never played or even been told about a Strat as heavey as mine.

Overall:

The only other guitars I would even consider owning are a Gibson Les Paul or a Gibson Firebird V,probably of 50's-60's era.Or a '56-'57 sunburst Strat.
