I don't care want what anyone says the Golden 50th Anniversary that I have Is one fine axe and thats all i can say. Its a mexican made Fender and plays and looks great right out of the box, and many cases better than some American made. I know what I am talking about I am a professional musician I have over 40 years experience, I make a living at it. I have close to 18 guitars in my collection. Les Pauls American Strats, 60's Jazzmasters, Ricks, Gibson Es series. This is one really one nice guitar. I advice all before you buy is to do a little research go to Fender Web Site check everything and you see that parts in the assembly is same as the American strats and this is a Vintage style strat. Again all can say is check it out take the time and compare notes this is a nice Fender Stratocaster for the money
Sound
It sound likes typical Fender Stratocaster just like they made since 1954. I use it thru a Mesa Boogie Nomad 55 but it sounds good in any decent amp that I have tried. The pickups sound great not much 60 cycle hum for a strat
Features
