"Great guitar for the price."

Feature:
Loved the vintage look.

Quality:
Very well made, the sunburst finish is gorgeous.

Desirability:
Want it? I had it.

Sound:
This is a great Strat for the price. i wanted the Buddy Holly look and sound, and with the vintage style string tree and vintage synchronized tremolo this baby is close! I upgraded to the American standard Strat and wanted to keep both.

Ease of Use:
Great sound, great quality for the entry level Strat.

Support:
didn't need any at all.

"Strats are the best, ever."

Feature:
The gig bag is pretty generic, but the guitar seems very well made despite being a Mexican Strat. I feel like I bought a great guitar and saved quite a bit of money by not splurging for an American Strat. The finish (mine is arctic white) goes well with the maple fretboard. It's a very attractive looking guitar.

Quality:
Well made mexican Strat. I plan on having this guitar forever, it will play some gigs someday. I really don't think I'll have any problems... it's a Fender.

Value:
Saved lots of $$$ buying the Mexican model, and it sounds just as good.

Desirability:
The Stratocaster has looked the same since the mid 50's... it was sexy as hell then, and still is today.

Sound:
I bought my Strat for the classic Strat sound. Nothing compares to it. I threw new strings on right away, put 2 more springs in the underside of the bridge, and the tone is great. I'll eventually upgrade the pickups, but I play with a Fender FM combo amp that has tons of settings and effects, so I can get different sounds.

Ease of Use:
Strats are easy to play. The neck is very comfortable and smooth, frets are smooth, this is a great guitar and very fun to play. The 5 way toggle switch gives you tons of sound options. The manual is crap, some generic pamplet that seems thrown together. I'll turn the other cheek and buy the 'Stratocaster Handbook'.

Support:
never dealt with them, so I dunno. I'm sure they're friendly, though, they're a respectable company.

Overall:
I have always wated a Strat, and my expectations were sky high. And I'm not disappointed, I have only praise for this guitar, nothing bad to say. Tons of musicians over the years have chosen this guitar for a reason... Stratocaster sound!
