« Fender Fat Strat »

My parents got me this guitar for christmas. They bought it from guitar center and I think they paid about $560 for it. I had been hinting that I wanted a fat strat because I hated my other guitar(A piece of crap Samick) and I wanted something with a humbucker for a fatter sound. Made in Mexico

I love almost everything about this guitar. It is comfortable, has a nice, full sound, good action, and it stays in tune well. I also like the color -light blue. I think Fender calls it daphne blue or agave blue. Also, the HSS pickup configuration gives you lots of tonal possibilities.

The pickups are a bit noisy, but it doesn't bother me that much. My only other complaint is that I don't have 2 of these awesome guitars.

This guitar is very tough and well built. I think it is just as good as the American-made version, and it's a lot less expensive. Fender really knows what it's doing. Again, I was kind of dissapointed by the pickups' humming, but I guess I can live with that.

Overall, this is a great guitar for any level player. It has a great sound, great action, and a great feel. One last thing, I was able to get some awesome pinch harmonics(squeals) out of this thing, something that I couldn't get out of my old guitar.
