Published on 11/22/11 at 11:59Made in Japan Fender Stratocaster's are almost identical to the US-made fender Stratocaster guitars. There's not a whole lot of difference in feel and balance and tone between these instruments. It's not like the US built compared to Mexican built where you can definitely feel the cheapness and the overall unfavorability in the Mexican made guitars, but the fender Japanese made stratocaster's are pretty much equally well built as the US made.
UTILIZATION
If you've ever played Fender Stratocaster then you know exactly what you're to get with this guitar. You have three single coil pickup with a volume control knob and two tone control knobs. You also get a five way pickup selector and that's pretty much about it as far as features go. In addition to that you do have a tremolo system which allows you get this nice vibrato tones. This guitar features a blue paint job with a cool rose wood fretboard.
SOUNDS
The Fender stratocaster tone is just as solid tone that's really built for any type of music. These are very versatile guitars and the playability factor is what stands out with these instruments. These are one of the most favorable guitars in existence because of the overall tone and balance. They work well with any amplifier or effects pedals board or racks that you might half. They go with pretty much any style of music.
OVERALL OPINION
At new you can find these guitars for little less than a US built Fender Stratocaster guitar. Overall if you're looking for a great instrument that's going to be extremely versatile and very well-built and have a great feel then this is a great guitar to own. They're a little bit cheaper if you can find them compared to the US built but in my opinion I would much rather just have a US built Fender Stratocaster and pay a couple hundred extra dollars for it.
