Fender is probably the biggest music company in the world when it comes to amp and guitars. They have been played all over the world from beginner learning guitar players to the best professionals in the world. Any guitar who has ever been playing the guitar longer than a few year most likely have picked up owned a Fender Stratocaster at some point. This is cool white Olympic color that gets better the more it ages. What I mean by that is these white paint jobs tend to turn into a cream color the more it ages. That is a cool this to see your instruments turn into.

SOUNDS

This guitar doesn't have a whole lot of features compared to many other guitars and especially some of the newer modern guitars that have different push pull pots as well as switches that can kill the sound door boosted or whatever. The pick ups are very general and there basically three single quill pick ups. You have volume control not been to tone control mountain is pretty much about it. There is a pickup selector that allows you to pick up to five different total selections. You can switch to each pick up as well as this spaces in between the middle and the outside pick ups. See you at five total options available. You can get a lot of range in this guitar with what ever amp you are using. These guitars takes on the rig that you own and just compliment that existing tone.

OVERALL OPINION

At new you can find these guitars for right at around $1000 or so. These guitars are such dream machine and full of tone. I would recommend every one to own one of these. They are great for recording and excellent for live use or heavy gigging. Every guitar player should own one of these at some point in their career.
