Published on 07/21/11 at 23:39Fender 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.
My very first guitar was Fender Strat but with the standard three single coil operation. So I am particular to this guitar. I love the soul and tone of a good Fender Stratocaster like I love the air I breath. This is one of these great instruments that take the glory of playing to a whole new level.

SOUNDS
The tone from this guitar is very good. This is an extremely versatile guitar with the 5 way selector and three single coils operation. Any old amp will do with this guitar. This guitar will also work for any style of music except most of the drop tuning stuff. You won't be able to get a deep thick fat metal tone from this guitar. Any of you are into that kind of music you already know that. Other than that it will suit most players just fine.
The soul form this guitar is just alluring. This fine instrument is so silky and smooth that is makes you amp sing like it was meant to be together. This guitar will connect with you like no other guitar can and probably ever will. There is a reason why these guitars have been copied the world over and still remain one of the most classic icon on music history.
OVERALL OPINION
AT new these guitars come in right at around $1599. not a bad price for a history in rock i roll. These guitars are such dream machine and full of tone. I would recommend every one to own one of these. This is a little bit different neck profile than the 60's so try and play one fist to get the feel of it if you can.
