Needed a go between and got more
I got this guitar to be a go between while I modded another one I have. After doing the setup and plugging this in, I realized I got more than what I was looking for. With just a few tweaks of the bridge and adjusting the truss, this guitar feels and plays like a dream.
Recommended for anyone looking for versatile playability (Is that actually a word?) in a guitar. Been playing 36 years and played many guitars. This is the first Fender I've ever owned and I love it. Absolutely perfect without the monster price tag.
Fender statrocaster
To may that much for a guitar and don't provide a case. Is ridiculous, every guitar I ever bought has always came with a case. I'll shop somewhere else.
A good solid strat
Ordered this on an open box special. Was attracted to it for the 43mm nut width combined with the 9.5 inch fretboard radius. Checked the frets right out of the box and they were level all the way down the fretboard. No sharp fret ends either. Played great right out of the box. Pickups sound great. No complaints on this guitar at all. It's a good solid strat and I'm really enjoying playing it.
This is an excellent guitar!!!! Please read if you have any doubts!!!
Don't let the "Made in Indonesia" label fool you—this is not a rebranded Squier. This is a real Fender, and it plays every bit as well as the made-in-Mexico Standards I've owned in the past. The build quality is solid, the tone is classic Strat, and it feels great in the hands.
A couple of welcome updates include the two-point tremolo and block saddles, which add to both the tuning stability and the overall feel of the guitar. The only thing I'd change is the 21-fret neck—I'd prefer 22—but it's far from a deal breaker.
All in all, this is a fantastic guitar that punches well above its price point. Sleek, reliable, and a total workhorse.
Good tone
In my first review I see that I actually wrote time
I meant good tone. I also didn't mention that to her trem is great as well. I've had the guitar a while now and still haven't changed the bridge pickup yet. Probably will but it sounds fine. I have a JB ready to put in it.
impressed
Very nice. I was sceptical because of the reviews I have seen. I found no sharp frets, no dead spots, action just right, intonation right on. Good time, humbucker nice and crunchy single coils nice sparkly and has that quack if you want it. Everything a strat should be.
It is routed HSH so you can change it to a HH strat if you want. And very nice fret board .
