"I've had two strataccoustics, and this is what think..."

Feature:
The lead in thru the strap button is nice feature. hardware feels good quality. The fact that the body top is not cut away at an angle for your forearm (per the electric strat) means you ave almost permenant blisters and raw skin on your forearm if you play it live a lot. (I'm not joking here!)

Quality:
This is the second one I've owned in two years (I broke the first one by knocking it off a stool I'd stupidly leaned it on so it was my fault not Fenders) both guitars developed a crack from the lower edge of the soundhole to the front of the body, bout an inch or so. Guy in the shop tells me its the duff struts inside, apparently they all do it, but it doesnt seem to get any worse or affect the sound. Battery for the pre amp was a pig to get out when I had to change it. One of the string pegs snapped the first time I changed the strings, and I had to drill the stuck peg out.

Value:
Good value for money, (hey it sez Fender on the end of the neck(tho why doesnt it say Strataccoustic? Fender too tight to pay out for the extra word? a good working guitar. Attracts a lot of attention at gigs.

Desirability:
I broke one and went out and bought another the same week. How much does that say about 'I want it?'

Sound:
Yes it sounds naff unplugged. Its a plastic body about three inches thick. Whaddya expect? Plug it in and it sparkles. You do need to get a set of decent strings on it as soon as you can. Very playable neck, but not for the 'diddly diddly' speed freaks. The best amplified acoustic sound I've had in 25 years of playing...and so far never a hint of feedback when paying live, tho there is a tendancy for sympathetic resonance from open strings at volume, but hey...it's a fender and it looks soo cool!

Overall:
I think it will be a long time before I look elsewhere. I originally didnt want one of these I was just going to buy a strat, ut the guiarist in the band talked me into it. Now I wouldn;t part.

"Fender's fantastic plastic guitar by cultusatanas"

Quality:
Dude, it plastic.

Value:
140 US, not to bad.

Desirability:
This guitar looks cool, that's why I bought it. I'm also a sucker for pretty girls.

Sound:
Not the greatest sounding acousticly, but it's ok through my marshall. I needed a cheap elec/acous guitar and that's what I got.

Ease of Use:
A mixed bag, you want it to play descent, drop the bridge saddle, shim the neck, and new strings. I knew this when I bought it, an hour later it was ok. i like the feel of the neck, it's a bit out of wack, the high e seems to fall off the finger board. But all in all the neck has a very nice feel to it.

Overall:
I'll keep it til it breaks.

"Perfect for any1 looking for a superb guitar"

Value:
I expected to pay much more for such a brilliant quitar!

Sound:
Brilliant, wether just playing @ hom or at a gig! I'm in a band and it sounds brilliant on stage!

Support:
Waited 2 months to finally get the right guitar, but no regrets, was absolutely worth waiting for!

"THIS F&%KIN ROCKS MY SOCKS"

Feature:
everything one this rocks

Quality:
Very solid guitar. Haven't had any problems yet, don't expect any. Looks friggin sick too.

Value:
I wish it was cheeper, but I guess this fine guitar is cheep at 300$ so I really can't complain

Desirability:
HECK YEAH. This guitar is one of the sexiest looks I have ever seen. It practically melts the pants off of girls and makes guys say "I wish I had a Stratacoustic"

Sound:
This thing sounds like none other......possibly, no definately the best electric/acoustic guitar that you can buy. Fender does it best!!

Support:
Never delt with Fender, but you don't need to. This gutiar practically takes care of itself

Overall:
I will never replace this baby. If it dies, then I'll just get a new one.

"if you could find anything better in this specified price range please send a review as soon as possible and give us a complete"

Quality:
what do you expect it's a fender

Value:
best in its price range

Desirability:
i can't wait to get it in sunburst. they could give you more of a choice in color though

Sound:
might want to change the strings

Overall:
overall great sound, looks, and amazing value

"OK axe but, needs work out of the box."

Sound:
It's OK...the original strings are the pits. Highly recommend doing the following as soon as you receive the axe: (1) Change the strings, the original strings are bad, (2) Adjust the neck to lower the action, (3) Insert a good battery, and (4) Get a hard shell case, the gig bag don't cut it...DOFAT
