MGR/Justin « Fender Standard Strat »
Published on 01/12/02 at 15:00I got this guitar because a couple of my favorite guitarists used it. I bought it from musicians friend and paid $300
I really like the neck. The neck is finished just enough to shine, but still let your fingers fly around without getting that stick on the glossy necks. The look of it is cool, I like the bridge, I like almost all of it.
I didnt like the cheesy look of it when I first bought it. I got black with maple fingerboard. The pickguard was pure white, and it looked really ugly and dumb. I put black knobs and black pickup shells on it and replaced the bridge pickup with a seymour duncan JB jr. It sounds really cool, especially if you like that downstrum-Ramones type sound.
It stays in tune through anything. My string strip very frequently at the bridge though. It is better (In my opinion) than American Strats.
I would very much suggest buying this guitar.
