Special switching unlocks extra pickup combinations for those moments you find yourself needing a little extra kick to stand out. Combining noise-free performance with enhanced playing comfort, this sleek instrument is a truly deluxe performer that excels on stage and in the studio.
Three Vintage Noiseless pickups offer all the clarity and articulation you've come to expect from Strat pickups--with no hum.

A contoured neck heel and 4-bolt asymmetrical neck plate make it easy to comfortably reach the upper registers of the neck. The flatter 12"-radius fingerboard makes it easy to play fast leads and perform deep bends without fretting out. Locking short-post tuning machines provide increased break angle at the nut for buzz-free playing and enhanced tuning stability, along with quicker string changes.
The ash body bears a highly durable gloss polyurethane finish that will easily stand up to hard playing, keeping… read more the instrument like new for years to come.

"Great Guitar! Great Price!"

I've had this guitar about 6 months now and I love it! ISounds great! I got the red one. It has the noiseless pickups which some people say don't sound as good as the regular ones. I disagree. I can't tell the difference. While most strats just have the five selector switch, this has a push button that gives you two more postions when the selector is in the fourth or fifth positions. My favorite is the fifth position with the push button in. In this position you get an extremely clear and glassy tone that combines the bridge and neck pickup. Using it for some Jimi Hendix tunes right now. Can't afford one of the higher priced strats I recommend trying this one.
Sound
Sounds great. I don't use any pedals or anything like that. It's plugged right into the amp. I play blues and rock. Works great for both of those styles.
Features
I really like the push button that basically gives you two extra positions. I think it gives you different sounds you can't get with the regular strats
Ease of Use
Very easy to get an array of different tones and sounds playing clean or with distortion. Works well with my fender amp.
Quality
It looks and feels very well made.
Value
I think its worth the money.
Manufacturer Support
Never needed them as yet
The Wow Factor
I've always thought strats were one of the best looking and versatile guitars around.
Musical Background:
Been playing guitar about 14 years. I just play at home
Musical Style:
Rock , Blues
