"The best Stratocaster For the Price!"

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.

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.

Desirability:
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.

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.

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

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!"

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!

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

Desirability:
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.

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.

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

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.

"A nice slice of good life."

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

Value:
Sure!

Desirability:
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.

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.

Support:
I have not dealt directly with Fender before.

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