This guitar is just flat-out ripping shredding instrument that can go left right upper down is probably the most versatility then any other guitar on the planet. The balance weight and feel of this guitarist is the simple arranged and designed almost to perfection. There hasn't been a whole lot of extra features that really changed the dynamics of the car overtime but there has been a few modifications but still retains most of the inherent true nature of this instrument.

SOUNDS

This guitar features three single coil pickups a volume control knob and two tone control knobs. In addition to that you have a five way pick up the selector which allows you to pick up each pick up as well as the two positions on the outside of the middle pick up. It's a pretty self explanatory and feature wise guitar.

If you've ever played if Strat then you know it exactly what you're getting get from this instrument. You're getting get a room full of and I feel that is on compost. The tone is guitar sounds fantastic and pretty much any amplifier so you put it in a clean amplifier all the way between modern high gain amplifier instruments going to sound great. It takes pedals well so if you have any rack unit with effects or whatever, this guitar will sound fantastic.

OVERALL OPINION

Overall this is a cool guitar for someone who is a Eric C fan. If you are not there are many other Fender Strat models to choose form and you will be happy with pretty much and of those models. This is a cool guitar for the EC lovers out there and there are a lot of them out there. I personally am not not a EC fan so this guitar doesn't appeal to me but I do appreciate the sound that it produces and the look as well. So if you are an EC fanboy than this may be something that you want to look at for you guitar collection.
