MGR/Bad Monkey « Fender American Fat Strat Texas Special »
Published on 05/20/03 at 15:00I bought this guitar new at Guitar Center for $950. They wanted more but you know you can always haggle em' down. Just threaten to take a ride down to Sam Ash and they'll hack down the price for you. I bought this guitar because I needed something better than what I had.
This guitar is the most versitile guitar I've ever played. It can go from mellow blues to raging metal and everything in between. It comes in a lot of colors but mine is black with a maple neck. The overall tone and tone control is amazing. I also like it because right from the shop the action is great, and it stays in tune. I play classic rock tribute songs and metal songs of my own. Thats why this guitar is great. You can go from Hendrix to AC/DC to todays metal easily.
It came with .090 guage strings. Other than that its perfect-no problems that cannot be fixed.
Three words: American Fender Stratocaster. This little honey aint no sissy Les Paul. The quality is top notch. You can throw this baby round' and she'll still make beutiful music. Of course I wouldnt swing mine around, but if you want to, gopher it. You cant buy a better Fender unless you get a custom one.
Before you buy that PRS give this guitar a try. I'm saying its better than a PRS but its less than half the price and only slightly unsuperior. I'm not kidding the great sound of this guitar is definetely comparable to that of THE top notch guitars. And to tell you the truth its better than any Les Paul in my opinion.
