This guitar sounds great; is versatile; is comfortable to play; stays in tune when you use the whammy bar, on stage, live, it delivers, all the notes, harmonics, dynamics and noiseless; looks awesome; has all the best Fender high end mods for versatility and playing ease and is pedal friendly; the pickups are balanced; play clean, play overdriven; if you are a good guitar player it will make you sound great; if you are a bad guitar player...oy vay! ... you will appreciate the guitar more if you have chops and it will appreciate you for having chops by making you sound like an in-tune rock star. I have one in my hands and one on the way. I never want to be without this guitar. I ordered another one exactly like this one. Appreciate the compound radius maple neck and select alder sunburst body. Such a nice grain. Stays in laser beam tune. The best of what a Strat can be. A self-actualized guitar. Evolution, perfection, years of labour, attention to detail, the ultimate guitar playing experience. It happened in 2015. You were here when history was made again by Fender. I made it my go-to Strat. I made a difficult decision; I traded in my Jeff Beck Strat for this, I have seen the future of the electric guitar. The first number I played on stage with this axe was Eruption. This guitar is a racehorse. 6L6's bring out the resonance, EL34's bring out the Eric Clapton sound on Hideaway. The neck is attached to the body; the bridge is over troubled water, the tremolo arm snaps in, the strings glide over LSR orbitals unimpeded by string trees on the way to locking tuners. When you're weary, when tears are in your eyes, when times get rough, play it and find the magic zone.

guitar was'nt set up ,and the tremelo bar was missing! had to wait ten days for a replacement, also had to have the neck adjusted because of string buzz. when you are paying this much for a guitar it should be double checked for setup and equipment included prior to shipment! this was a big thing for me! and was i ever let down! i hosestly hope ,(you the reader of this) it dosen't happen to you. what a DISAPPOINTMENT!!!!!
