"Great Guitar"

Overall:

(see rating details)

Verified Purchaser zZounds has verified that this reviewer purchased this specific product from us.

bending mechanism works great, b string stays in tune very well after initial string stretching. Finish is flawless. Neck is very comfortable, thicker profile than i expected and satin finish and rolled edges feel great. Guitar is quite heavy but very manageable. The pickups work well for what i play. Overall quality is really impressive, Fender American Standard instruments are being hilt to a higher quality standard than Ive ever seen so I doubt you could go wrong with any guitar or bass in the series. I do have to mention that the maple neck and fretboard are finished in a polyurethane that leaves the wood extremely pale and Id prefer if it had a bit of tint but this is a very minor matter of personal preference. Overall great guitar.
