"Great guitar for the price"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I'll be satisfied w/ this until I die. I'm holding onto it as a keepsake. Other people buy watches and wedding rings, I collect guitars. ;)
Sound
It sounds like a good stratocaster should.
Features
The gig bag is essentially useless. If you're going to own a guitar this nice, you won't keep it in a small satchel like this.
Ease of Use
It's like cutting butter w/ a hot knife. The vintage frets are really good, and so is the action on mine.
Quality
It's a fantasic sounding and feeling guitar. My only complaint is that it's manufactured in Mexico, and like all mexican strats one touch of the whammy bar and the whole thing goes out of tune. Every time I buy a strat I strap the bar down so it doesn't effect my playing. I know a few folks who do the same thing.
Value
I was expecting it to cost a lot more honestly.
Manufacturer Support
Fender is always good for support. Plus its' such a popular guitar that almost any tech can fix it.
The Wow Factor
I'm 25 this year, so when I'm 50 fender will be 85. It's more of a personal thing for me than it is an instrumental.
