I have to say I'm absolutely love the color of this guitar. Everything about this guitar just screams to me. This is the kind of guitar that is just full of tone and soul and prowess. It's a simple set up in a simple design that has been revolutionized by thousands of artists and guitar players for generations. This guitar has such a feel and talent for reaching across many musical genres and performing it with ease. The gold hardware I have never been a fan of but on this guitar it just looks amazing. The bridge cover is also a nice addition to this instrument as well.

SOUNDS

The Fender Stratocaster is a great guitar to play pretty much any style of music. They don't really excel and drop too much or alternate tunings as much but they really give you a great balance and feel that makes just sing well with any amplifier, pedal board, or any other modulation that you might use in your guitar rig. These guitars really highlight your dynamic playing and feel. Whatever you give this guitar it's really going to return it with great tone and warm. Oevrall this gui

OVERALL OPINION


Strats you can find pretty much anywhere fine and in most guitar retailers. However, this particular one might be a little tough to find. I have seen them around but only online retailers. The neck is nice and thick like the old Strats from the 50's, Overall they're pretty flawless from guitar to guitar and they have just a great character and field for tone. I recommend Strat guitars to any guitarist out there because their great for recording and for digging. However, I would only recommend this guitar to someone who has an extra $4000 to spend on a collector's guitar.
