"Great, sleek guitar at affordable price."

Feature:
All that came with it was good. Tremolo bar and allen wrenches was it. and a great warranty! wish it came with the hardshell case.

Quality:
No blemishes, no nothing that you wouldn't want. the finish is so smooth!

Value:
I think with age, this marvellous piece of art will grow in value. i know for sure it will to me.

Desirability:
A beautiful finish and great electronics. definatly worth more than you pay.

Sound:
it has a slight buzzing sound when you first play it but it doesnt last long.

Support:
I didn't buy online but from my local dealer. we had to go through the company to order and they were very friendly and the guitar was there before it was supposed to be.

Overall:
I most likely will not sell this guitar, but will add more guitars to arsonal. i will add different specs on. new pickguard, humbucker and maybe some locking tuners.

"Great beginner guitar, wide variety of sounds, stylish looks, affordable."

Feature:
Double humbucker is nice for a range of different sounds coming off the pickups. Has a whammy bar which is fun to play around with, and comes off in a second if you don't like it.

Quality:
It takes my drops and dings with the best of em. I've had no problem with individual components breaking unnecessarily.

Value:
Excellent versatile guitar for a reasonable price.

Desirability:
I love the way it looks. I have a midnight blue paint job that I simply think is the best.

Sound:
It is very versitile, a great broad range of sounds from extremely bright, to warm acoustic tones. Very aesthetically pleasing design, easy to play.

Support:
nope.

Overall:
I'll probably play it for a total of about 5 years or so.

"Mex Fat Strat rocks"

Feature:
No accessories came with the Mex guitar. I bought the Fender molded hard case for $79. Wish they detailed the pick guard a bit more, plain solid white.

Quality:
Some issues in appearance. Small nick in fret board (at bottom). Guard is not completely flush, willl take back to get fixed. The setup though was really close.

Value:
For the price, you cant beat it! You can pay from 400 to 3000 for a Strat but I dare you to beat the sound except by the most deserning ear.

Sound:
I went to the guitar shop looking to by a Samick Ultramatic. While I was trying the UM4 the shop owner pulled a brown starburst Mex Fat Strat and handed it to me. 2 minutes later I was convinced. The Samick is a great sounding guitar but the Fender blew it away. With this one guitar I can go from Benson to Aerosmith! The humbucker pickups really kick ass.

Overall:
If I were to replace it I may look at the American version but it had better sound or look much beter.
