"The best Stratocaster For the Price!"

Sound:

Oh my god the sound of this guitar. I played all the guitars in the shop.. and frankly i was dissapointed with the American Strat, i played an Epiphone Les Paul, A Warlock, A Telecaster , a MusicMan.. I was starting to get dissapointed.. When i spotted this guitar i picked it up.. The sound made me buy it right away.. Its perfect... The Seymour Duncan pickups give you a real vintage feel and the guitar makes you sound good even if your not that good.

Feature:

The seymour Duncan Pickups!!! The greatest thing in the world! Theres a Tremolo on it even though i am not a fan of it, it should not be on this guitar, i felt it was a bit too high and i had to go get it lowered because my strings were getting untuned while i wasnt using it. The Strap holders are made extra large for me to bounce around without dropping the guitar, a very wise choice by Fender.

Quality:

Top Quality Guitar. Even though its the Korea Version i say that i would chose this guitar over an American Strat anyday. Its a perfect instrument for the road, you would blow minds with this beauty on stage.

Manufacturer Support:

I had trouble with the tremolo, got fixed in a day, excellent support.

Value:

I have to say that this guitar is UNDERPRICED! I payed around 800$ for it and i would go and pay over 1400$ for this machine. Its definatly worth buying over all those over priced guitars, actualy.. i would buy another one if something happened to this one.

The Wow Factor:

This guitar is absolutly sexy, The nice finish on the beautifull birdseye maple, its a beast , a masterpiece, it turns me ON! As soon as i saw this guitar i had to buy it.. it flew out of the room and right into my arms.

Overall:

This has to be the absoluty best choice i have ever made. Buying this guitar is a dream come true.. I have done gigs with this and it has not let me down. I get OOHHs and AHHS when people see this guitar and it makes me feel proud to own this masterpiece.

"lite ash strat - a heavy contender!"

Sound:

well, if this makes any sense to you, it has warmth and presence... to be completely honest, this is my first strat. i have played many over the years, and owned copies, but when i saw it in the showroom, i knew i had to have it! this is an absolutely beautiful guitar! everyone that sees it agrees - which is odd because they all have differing tastes. plays well, fast kneck, wish i had taken the plunge years ago. typically at home i play it through a 10 watt marshall electronic amp. love the seymours, not the loudest pickups, but great sound. if you are at all considering buying a new strat, you might wanna check this one out.

Feature:

typical strat features, except for the pick-ups. fender never lets you down.

Quality:

what can i say, this is the only section i could say a 10 because i think there are very few actual 10's but the quality is definitely a ten!

Manufacturer Support:

i have never been in the position to use fender support, but my feedback from others is great.

Value:

hey, we always want to get the best as cheaply as possible, but this is an awesome guitar

The Wow Factor:

i want it? of course i do... sexy? not sure about that, but it is a beautiful guitar. i wanted it before i ever touched it, so i guess there is definitely an appeal there. i could make music without it, but i am glad i have it.

Overall:

wanted one for so long that i think i'll be happy with it for quite a while. who knows, i may experiment with pickups or something like that eventually, but the guitar, with any luck at all i'll have it for a long time.

"Best guitar ive played 4 a long time. Kills any american strat"

Sound:

The Sound Is Awesome. The Seymours Are way brighter and better sounding than the American which cost alot more. It sound kills the mexican strat anyday. I fell in love with the awesome sound of this guitar.

Feature:

The features of this guitar are incredible! the Seymours sound excellent. They did a great job on the looks too. I think that the two point floating trem is always an awesome idea. I LOVE this guitar. The strap buttons are big enough to prevent almost all accidents which i would hate to see.

Ease of Use:

This guitar was relatively easy to use. The only problem was that the action was set a little high but that is normal.

Quality:

the guitar has really good quality. The birds eye V neck and body are very sturdy. No buzzing through the pickups. Its excellent

Manufacturer Support:

I have not delt with the support and i dont think i will.

Value:

The value is awesome. Way less than the american and alot better.

The Wow Factor:

This Guitar is HOT. It feels awesome and is such a lovely color. This guitar is on awesome guitar and you should buy it.

Overall:

i think this guitar will last really long and i think that purchasing it is a great investment and a wise choice. I think if i lost this i would get the same thing all over. The thing i like the least about this product is NOTHING. Its PERFECT.

"What a bargain!!"

Sound:

the bridge pick-up can be almost too glassy but with plenty of power and clarity. otherwise a great array of sounds though the tone controls are not the most effective.

Feature:

for an almost budget instrument, my guitar was superbly set-up with a dream of a neck, and overall excellent hardware. this is definately a superior guitar to my '98 US std Strat which cost quite a bit more.

Quality:

Beautifully constructed and finished, you wouldn't have been dissapointed if it had come from the custom shop.

Value:

I would rate this item as superb value for money. country of origin aside it is simply a beautifully made instrument

The Wow Factor:

I saw it and had to have it.

Overall:

Time will only tell what fettling it will recieve but it is the first guitar I've bought that I didn't feel the need to adjust in any way before getting stuck into playing it

"Great guitar even at twice the price!"

Sound:

Beefiest single coil sound I ever heard. I could not believe the bridge pickup in full overdrive. Middle and neck give good SRV tones. Can still get the usual array of squaking and quacking sounds. Beautiful clean sounds. I've been putting DiMarzio humbuckers (with a coild split) in the bridge position of my strat style guitars for years, but I wouldn't have to in this one.

Feature:

Standard wiring. Vintage look.

Quality:

I gotta say the one I played rivals any American Strat I've played in the past few years. A pleasant surprise when I picked this up. I was already to buy a G&L; now I have to think harder about it.

"A nice slice of good life."

Sound:

This piece has good sound. Now that I have taken the pick guard and isolated everything improved all of the connections and tightened up all of the tolerances it is pushing hard on a 9.

Feature:

The pickups are cool. They seem to be tuned to party up the bright sound that the ash wood could have had with standard pickups. I dig the Bird's Eye Maple fingerboard, It matches my Dynaudio speakers for my home system so this little guitar even looks great just sitting.

Quality:

This guitar has the standard American Strat finish although it is made Korea, it is finished liked an American or a Japanese version. There was a bit of sloppiness in the cut-outs but it was easily remedied. The parts are all the same as the American Strat

Manufacturer Support:

I have not dealt directly with Fender before.

Value:

Sure!

The Wow Factor:

Well. "sex appeal is for humans. I don't get all aroused over a guitar. This guitar does have great looks but again, the looks of the guitar don't get the great vibes, the action and skill are what does that.

Overall:

I don't wear them out, and I already purchased the 50th anniversary Strat. The model that just looks like a 1954 reissue.
