Published on 08/17/11 at 10:26Fender is probably the biggest music company in the world when it comes to amp and guitars. The Fender Stratocatser is an American icon and an American classic guitar. 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. They have been played all over the world from beginner learning guitar players to the best professionals in the world. These guitars have been feature on countless stages and records for 50+ years. This is a nice guitar for those who need a comfortable neck and the look of it is just beauty.
This guitars features two humbucker pickups and a normal Strat tremolo. Everything else is the same on this guitar other than the two humbuckers. This is a good guitar for someone who like the Fender STrat feel and needs a beefier tone .

SOUNDS
This guitar sound pretty good in most music styles even if you don't play heavy metal. You can even get a great tone with a down tuning on this guitar which is more difficult on other Strats. Another great thin about this guitar is that the great pickups are already in stalled into this guitar. SO you don't have to replace anything once you buy this. Just get it to your guitar tech for a pro intonation setup and you will good to go.
This guitar sounds great with a solid Fender amp, but sound better through a Marshall amp of some other high gain amp. I know these guitars are tuned to their amps and visa versa so it is natural that hooking up a nice Fender Twin Reverb would sound very pleasant, but this guitar sound best with this double humbucker arrangement with a good high gain amplifier.
OVERALL OPINION
If it were me i would go with a Charvel over this guitar. The Charvel has a better neck profile that I like and already comes with proper pickups as I would suggest switches the Fender brand pickups out of this guitar. Not sure the price of these guitars since they are pretty hard to find out side of Japan which is a good market for these guitars. So I would suggest a Charvel which is made to similar standards as these guitars but much more hot rodded.
