SOUNDS

If you want a real fender, this guitar does not satisfy you.
Due to the quality of their microphones, it is much more modern and a real personality possde but do not compare a strat USD. The sound is less round, more bold.
With saturation (as low leve), it excels.
His big flaw is the pickup, too crillard its clear, the knob of Tone does not change anything, ineffective.
I put a 8 causes the bridge pickup.

OVERALL OPINION

I recommend this guitar but not for those seeking a real stratocaster because the use is s'aperoit it is different, more modern.
It's a great guitar: Luter, electronics, tremolo, pickups (except neck), color (vintage white).
Perfect for blues, rock and possibly jazz.
Least for the most demanding music in the sound as folk, country, the surf, nashville
