The Fender Strarocaster guitar is extremely iconic and an absolute brilliantly made instrument. It's a fantastic we well balanced guitar that resonates very well. It's able to branch across many styles of music which doesn't limit it in any way. The features are pretty minimal but yet very effective. You have a volume control knob to tell control knobs hey five way pick up selector. You also have three single will pick ups I really give a good versatility in tone as you slept each one and in the in between position.

SOUNDS

I really like the tone of this guitar because it has a very authentic and organic sound. Most the sounds that this guitar does is blues based music but it's a very versatile guitar for pretty much any style of music out there. This guitar doesn't do very well and drop tunings or extremely heavy game sounds but if you get a good solitude overdrive going with some nice analog delay or some digital or analog chorus sounds in you can get a really great rock sound good for pop all way up to hard rock.

OVERALL OPINION


These guitars pretty sound pretty much any guitar retailer around. You can find them online as well and in many used classified sections. I highly recommend this guitar to anyone looking for an absolutely brilliant instrument that is extremely versatile from any style of music out there.
