I bought this at a local MARS Music for $300.00 on sale.
I am a beginner, but wanted an electric that was easy to play and had good quality. I wasimpressed with recent reviews of this type guitar (always high reviews).

The guitar is a beauty! it's got a rosewood fretboard and is extremely easy to play. I find myself growing fonder of my purchase every day I play. I have been able to speed up some of my playing due to this model's ease of play.
The finish is a honey burst finish and is simply beautiful for a guitar. There's a good finish shine on it also.
The strings also seem to stay in tune for a longer time period than on previous guitars I have played.
The electronics (including the output jack) appear to be quality constructed.


The one small drawback is the slight hum from the single coil pick ups. But that's what i wxpected and will probably change the pickups later.

The overall quality is excellent. Paint detail is great. There are no glue marks or scratches.
The output jack is sturdy unlike other cheaper guitars.
The guitar has a rosewood fretboard on a maple neck.

Bottom line: This Strat is the best buy for the money. It sounds great, plays easy and I could not tell the difference between this unit and the American version sound wise.
