MGR/dan h « Fender Mexican Stratocaster »
Published on 07/20/02 at 15:00About 6 years ago at a place in Holland, Michigan called Del's, I bought the guitar for about $320. It was cool because It was my first electric guitar, I had been playing acoustic for 4 years. I bought a little 15 watt Peavey amp to go with it, but I now own a Line 6 Spider, I think thats 100 watts.
The best thing about it is that you can get just about any sound out of it you want, from low and crunchy to high and whiney. The neck is fast, its got 3 single-coil pickups and the two tone knobs. Its really easy to modify it with all kinds of stuff. I put new knobs and pickup covers on it, along with new tuners and it only took me an hour. It sounds great with any amp, great tonal quality with high distortion and on clean.
Nothing really, the only thing is with the tremolo bridge, the strings tend to come out of tune every couple days, but its not even worth mentioning, since you can tune a guitar in two minutes max.
I've had it for almost seven years, i've taken it gigging in the van, i've dropped it countless times, and, its still together. No construction defects, its worked as it should for as long as i've had it.
Even though it's the first electric i've had, its still the best, If you're willing to pay $800, you can get an american strat, but basically, its the same guitar. It's great for beginners and experts alike.
