MGR/VampiroIX « Fender Standard Stratocaster »
Published on 07/20/02 at 15:00I was just starting to get into guitar and I got sick of only being able to play my friend's insturments so I finally decided to head down to Axe's Music and pick up one for myself. I didn't know to much but I saw this sunburst Fender Strat. sitting there on the wall and I fell in love with it. I picked it up and just played the intro riff to Enter Sandman (the only song I knew at the time =D) and fell in love a second time. Sure I dished out all the money I had, about 400 bucks for the guitar, an amp, and a tuner, but it was well worth it.
This guitar is a great guitar period, but it is especially good if you are just starting out at playing and don't want to spend a ton of money right off the bat. It isn't the best guitar you can get but it's a damn good one. This thing can go hard and heavy, or if it's more your style, soft and mellow. So if your like me and are into a wide array of music styles this is a good piece of wood to pick up.
Not to many dislikes here. I have heard better sounding guitars but this one still sounds great.
3 single coil pickups, Rosewood fretboard, and comfort contoured body (whatever that means, I heard it somewhere) make this a great looking and feeling guitar. It was in excellent condition when I bought it and has remained that way 'cause I take good care of my guitar.
Bottem Line; buy this instrument. If your just starting out it's a great beginner guitar. If you've been playing for awhile you can still find a lot of great things to do with this thing, weither your into Mettalica, Creed, or both.
