« Love this look!! »

You can immediately feel a great tone and overall from first strum and just probably the most versatile and perfect instrument you can play for any style of music. You get three single coil pickup's a volume control knob and two tone control knobs that allow you to dial in your specific total needs for each pick up. You also get a five way pick up selector that allows you to pick each pick up individually and then the space in between the two outer pick ups in the middle position. It's a simple guitar and doesn't have a whole lot of extra switches and booths and different things to get in the way of just pure tone. The wood grain with this pick guard is a nice look as well

SOUNDS

The tone from this guitar is absolute top notch. There is a reason that these guitars have been copied the world over and still remain one of the most classic icon on music history. This is an extremely versatile guitar with the 5 way selector and humbucking and single coil operation. You can find these guitars played by some of the most famous musicians around the world.

Any old amp will do with this guitar. This guitar will connect with you like no other guitar can and probably ever will. I love the way this guitar sounds with a good old Fender Bassman or a Marshall plexi amp. The soul from this guitar is just magical and pleasant. If you have played one American Fender Stratocaster than you know exactly how one sounds. There isn't too much variation of tone between Strats. This fine instrument is so silky and smooth that is makes you amp sing like it was meant to be together.

OVERALL OPINION

At new you can find these for right around $1500. This is the deluxe models series so there is a little more involved in the building process and the overall construction is top notch as well. This one be the step right under custom guitar from Fender. So if you don't want to spend several thousand dollars then this is the best guitar for the money.
