Best Strat Going

Great buy in a Strat. I bought mine a few months back after doing a lot of research and playing dozens of Strats. It feels more substantial than other Strats. That's not to say heavy, just solid. The paint (mine is a sunburst) is flawless, the v-neck is a dream and the tone is everything you could want in a Strat. The people in Ensenada are doing a fantastic job of building guitars these days. Get one of these. You won't be dissapointed. For me, this is the guitar of a lifetime.

I cannot put this guitar down--the soft "v" neck fits my hand like a glove. The American made pickups make the tone simply classicaly-Fender-gorgeous. And the locking tuners--what a great design!

I originally played three guitars in the store--this one, the Jimmy Vaughan, and the 60th Anniversary Standard Strat. While this one sounded and felt best, I initially bought the latter, because it was the cheapest of the three. Lesson: Heed Clapton's advice, and buy the most guitar you can afford! I ended up not caring for the "C"-shaped neck, so I returned it and paid the difference to get this bad boy in shoreline gold, and have never looked back. Unlike most strats, this comes standard strung with .010s, but once I swapped 'em out for .009s, made the necessary setup tweaks, it made this truly an awesome guitar. Go play one now, NOW! You will end up buying one, like I did.
