MGR/Mike Winograd « Fender Fat-Strat »
Published on 08/09/02 at 15:00I got this guitar two christmases ago. I was just starting guitar, and we were getting me a good one to start with. I'm pretty sure the guitar was $400.
The different pickups on the guitar are nice. There's a neck, mid, and a humbucker at the bridge. The humbucker gives the nice strong twangy sound you want at the bridge. Has two separate tone nobs.
The neck isn't as playable as i would like. It feels too wide for me, despite the fact i have nice long fingers. But for the price, it is nice. Also, when palm muting, for all you punk players, it is quite easy to accidentally turn the volume nob either all the way up or down.
Overall, this guitar is pretty nice. Nothing compared to my friend's $1600 Jackson, but it's a nice guitar, especailly for a beginner. It's one of the ones that Fender has made in Mexico, so you can get a better Fender for a cheaper price. The nut where the chord plugs in comes loose, but it's more of a hassle than a real problem.
Good beginner or semi-advanced guitar. I like it. Could definitely get a better one for the money though. Try Carvin if you are looking for a nice electric for a good price.
