« Fender Tom Delonge Stratocaster »

I bought this cutting edge guitar while looking for one with power and fast play. Needless to say, that is exactly what i got. I bought it at a local music store for $550 on sale, and it was well worth it. The surf green color also caught my eye, being the only one in the shop that wasn't a dull brown or black. Probably the key factor that led me to purchase this guitar was that I started up a punk band not too long ago and this guitar fits perfectly with that genre of music.

One of my favorite things about this guitar is that it is simple, but no where near plain. The one knob is used for volume, which makes it very easy to control. And the Seymour Duncan invader pickup cranks out deep and crunching tones suitable for various types of rock, in this case punk rock. I also love the fast playing fingerboard (used for those wicked punk rock guitar solos...haha), and the vintage headstock gives it great looks.

If I had to choose one thing that I did not care for too much on this guitar, is that it frequently comes out of tune, but every guitar needs tuning, so it's no downfall.

Both the construction and quality of this guitar is top of the line. The hardware is smooth and it is very durable, and eay to play.

I fully recommend this guitar, it has a very reasonable price tag for the quality instrument that it is.
