"Very Fine Guitar"

Feature:
I don't feel that the original pickups as well as the 3-spring bar was my cup of tea. So a little personal changes were done. I know some people probably would object to that. But, then again, I prefer to wash my dog outside rather than in my bath tub. Some would object to that also. Basically, this is my guitar (and my dog) and I really don't care.

Quality:
No flaws whatsoever. But it is the heaviest guitar in my collection.

Value:
It's a steal!

Sound:
I ripped out the stock pickups and installed a gold, blue, and red Lace. Also installed a trem-set on it. Awesome guitar.

Support:
40 years of playing and I have never needed support from Fender. Can't say the same about Gibson, though.

Overall:
Anyone who has several instruments (of any kind) will quickly admit that each one has its own distinctive personality. Even if you just have two, I'm sure you can notice a difference, not just in sound of course, but in the entire makeup of the instrument. Each one is different, just as each one of your friends, or even your children, has specific qualities about them which make them dear to you (I hope this doesn't sound like mush). I love my Paul Elegant. My Washburn Roger Waters (#24) is a magnificent piece. My Fender F-55 12 string from my teenage years I shall never part with in this life. My 345 has no personality. That I can not explain. My PRS feels like a toy and was made to play Iommi. On and on and on. But....this 70s strat, along with my 335 are my 2 MAIN ELECTRICS! I have never played two eletrics as wonderful as these. And I am very thankful to have these two.

"THIS GUITAR KICKS ASS!!!!!"

Feature:
it uncluded a wammy bar, but i never use them. the pickups are great, but i replaced the bridge pickup with a seymour duncan hot rails strat replacement pickup. SWEET SOUND!

Quality:
it was made great. the bridge is somewhat loose, but not too loose. just loose enough to bend notes and chords.

Value:
i think this guitar is worth 630 bucks. i probably would have paid more for it.

Desirability:
theres nothin like a fender strat in your hands, especially the 70s

Sound:
this guitar is great for all types of music. i play a lotta rock, classic and new, and nothing sounds better than this guitar to MXR fuzz, to MXR phase, to VOX wah to Marshall MGDFX50. i highly recommend this guitar to anyone

Support:
i havnt had any problems with it, so i havnt had to talk to the company.

Overall:
im pretty sure this guitar will last me at least 5 years. ill keep it for the rest ofmy life, but in a few more years i wanna get an Eric Clapton strat.
