MGR/Jambandman « Fender Deluxe Fat Strat »
Published on 07/27/02 at 15:00I bought this from musician's friend for 450 bucks, for some reason, the white color was almost 100 bucks cheaper than the black or pewter
I love the array of sounds. The texas special pickups are hot, and between the 5 pickup combinations with a little tweaking on the tone adjustment, i can't think of a tone you can't get out of this guitar. The neck is smooth, and construction is solid.
The Floyd Rose tremelo is easy to make quick tune adjustments with BUT THERE IS A DISCLAIMER BELOW!
The tremolo only comes with 3 trem springs. Go to your local store and get two more and keep it tight against the bridge. With 5 springs a set of heavy guage strings wont move it, and you will be glad. Once you know the tremolo won't float, stringing will be like any other guitar.
No problems after heavy use for about 2 months. Been through 4 sets of strings, and multiple climates, and the construction seems solid.
For 450$ a STEAL... for the 540$ they are asking now, i don't see why you would get anything else within the price range. I wouldn't trade this axe for anything short of something i could custom build.
