Great guitar, great experience!

From the start, my buying experience with Sweetwater has been great! Mr. Robert Williams was excellent, he cared about my satisfaction and delivered admirably.

My Strat came with a perfect set-up, i won't change a thing. The picture of the Brown Sunburst doesn't do it justice, it's beautiful.

Plays very well, for this being a supposedly "lower end" guitar, it's awesome.

These come set up and playable without issues!!

I wasn't sure what to expect and I hate buying without trying but Sweetwaters 51 point inspection including set up, New strings and perfect intonation has me convinced where to get my guitars from. Plays like a dream, Looks awesome and leaves you enough money for a tube amp. Why buy an American strat when you can get a Mexican (on par with the Americans) and have enough left over for a decent tube amp. This guitar sings. Glad I got it!! Plays as good as any American you'll try and you don't have to worry about it. This is a TRUE workhorse guitar. Stays in tune really well despite what I've heard and read and seen. The upgrades are noticeable especially in the Quality Control dept. My rep Tom Maxwell went out of his way to make sure everything went smooth. I can't recomend Sweetwaters and Tom enough. GREAT JOB! GREATER GUITAR!!

I can't believe it's a Mexican!

I got this guitar 2 weeks ago,and I couldn't tell the difference between this one and a american made one,That's how good it is.Fender finally gave this model a complete overhaul,and,by god,it shows.The jumbo frets make it a lot easier to play,and the thicker trem block gives it more sustain.And,it's good to see that the pup compartments are shielded,thus getting rid of that annoying hum that the earlier Mex strats had.I gigged with this last Saturday night,and I got a lot of compliments on how good it sounded.Thank you Fender,for finally giving us people that don't have unlimited funds a great guitar.

Great, great , great!

Beautiful finish, true Fender tone, exactly what a Stratocaster should be. First time I've ever bought a new guitar that the set-up was good. All the good things I've heard about Sweetwater are true, Customer service is amazing, no matter how large or how small the order.

If you read reviews to make buying decisios, BUY, you won't be disappointed.

Our Customers Say...

When it came time to start from scratch with the studio, I had a lot of questions. The Sales Engineers I've worked with are really friendly and patient, and the guidance they provided was invaluable; they basically helped build the studio.
