This guitar is soooooo good. Cheap, well made, great pups, greeeeeeat sound. Love it. Best budget Fender ever. Get one.

here a little vid I made. Ok sound quality is bad but perhaps you still feel how "strat" this baby sounds.
I am in love

Yes niiiice. Playability is so great with the C-shape neck. Still its a solid piece of wood. Anyway the best feature is the satin nitrocellulose lacquer instead of acrylic lacquer. Problem with this. the lacquer is super thin and will look vintage banged up after 3 month. I loooove that but its nothing for people that like nice and shiny guitars. But this finish lets the guitar resonate much better than acrylic lacquer. Great sound.
The guitar is totally stripped down. No fancy additions. But all you need for tone. For me thats enough. I tested many really expensive Strats and this cheap baby was competible. So I took it home.

I really like how those strats play. Picking up one of those in the store at random is actually what made me want a strat, it just played so nicely smile.gif I haven't plugged one in though. Sounds good!

what I also like is the large 70's style headstock. Now I will learn how to play it properly. It has exactly the tone I always wanted and with that I hope I will get the sound and style I try to achieve for a while now.

Ah highway one!
My friend has one, he recently changed the neck to a warmoth fender style vintage thing 50's style neck thing with Rosewood board.
(Yeah, that sentence sucked)
Now it play's much better!
I really liked the guitar but it's not my personal favourite.
Congratulations though!

That FAT headstock is great! Malmsteen swears that the larger mass of the headstock gives better tone and sustain... He's right! cool.gif
