Chrystal, McMinnville, TN Reviewsbased on 4 reviewsBest strat I have ever owned!
by derek wallace from Rhome Texas
wow what a fat neck! but I have large hands so this neck is perfect! the build quality Is just amazing! there isn't a flaw on the outside or inside. it has the tightest neck pocket I have ever had. ... read more [+]it actually took a little bit of a nudge to get the neck out to adjust the neck relief ;) . also there wasn't a single drop of paint in the neck pocket. nor was there a single speck of dust inside under the pick guard. the pickups sound amazing and are dead quiet in the 2 & 4 position. the tone on this guitar is HUGE, its probably because of the added neck mass. there was also no fret rattle of any kind and the intonation was dead on. fender and sweetwater did an excellent job on this one. this strat will definitely be passed down to my children one day November 3, 2011 Music Background: Bedroom blues master! as a bonus AJ Becerra with sweetwater is an awesome guy and a pleasure to work with. but there is one thing I have a complaint about. the guitar case doesn't want to stand up on its edge. G&G got the halves a bit misaligned so it tips over with just a slight breeze. the case also feels allot lighter and lower quality than the 1984 vintage reissue case I have. but its just a case and it will still do its job. close [-] Fender Vintage Hot Rod '62 strat

by David Hartwell from NY
Yes very nice guitar. Neck is nice once you get the feel of it. Has excellent tone. Finish is very thin so be careful with it. the normal poly coat is much more durable compared to nitro.
