i use a marshal mg stack and a crate, sometimes a digitech rp80 and get all the tones i want.

the c neck plays itself, and the five way selection switch helps for a quick change to a lead riff.

had trouble out of the box, but the guys where i bought it were great and fixed.

this is a very hot looking machime, it sounds great and hits the tones i want from a fender. less cash would be better, but it is worth the price.

the problem i had was it wanted to fade out after playing for a while. the shop guys tried several times to find and correct the problem. they were cool about it and finally they hit the fade and the guitar has been great.

every body wants to touch it, play it and says it is great looking. we use for country, rock and blues so i guess they are right. it is a must have ax.

I don't have the strat version, I have 60th anniversaty starcaster. It is a great guitar, great for sound. The amp I used blew my first use though, so I felt a little ripped off.

The whammy was a good looks addition, but I rarely use it. The pickups were great.

This is probably one of the easiest guitars I have ever used. Granted, I haven't been playing long, and a Draco V or Les Paul will demolish it, it is a great beginner's guitar.

When i got it, the polish was a little worn, and the strings weren't even on properly.

It is definitely worth what I paid for it. I paid $235, it may be worth even more than that.

So far, i haven't had to contact the company, and I hope I don't have to.

I have seen better guitars, in fact I own better looking guitars, but the classic design to it is great.

The pickups are really quiet and the quitar sounds great. I read alot of negative things about this guitar, after I got mine of course but so far I have no complaints at all....Maybe, it's the calm before the storm... :) Hope not

A beautiful guitar. it is flawless. But, the diamond in the head is a "CZ"

The strings were close to the neck so playing is easy for me, although the strings are not so close that they rattle.

I had to add 2 springs to it so it would stay in tune. Afterwards, no problems. Seems to be well built.

A bit expensive. I think the look might be worth the price, but I'm not sure if a standard USA strat wouldn"t be just as good for a lesser price. 1st Fender so I'm not familiar with the other models. This was a Christmas gift. This might be a guitar and custom case that if you could afford to do it, put it away, instead of playing it, and in 30 yrs it might be worth a lot more. Don't know...
