« Fender Stratocaster Mexican »

Well I made the purchase at HSK music in Kirkcaldy,Scotland,In February (2004). It caught my eye when I entered the store it had a beautiful 2-tone sunburst finish. I just had to have it. I'm a big John Frusciante fan and noticed he plays a strat,vintage but still a strat. I can't really let this one out my sight It's my favourite guitar. I paid £330

I used to have a black Squier strat and it had a thin neck but this strat has a more chunky type neck which I like and a smaller headstock. I use d'addario 10s which work really well. The finish is one of the things I like most about it you can't beat sunburst.

Just a minor thing the pickup arent bad I'm thinking of putting original 1962 pickups on I admire the vintage tone alot.

Well with this guitar your definately getting value for your money they are different to squier strats, so if you have the money buy one its worth it.

This has been the best guitar I've owned and played. It's a good starter guitar if your looking for something decent with quality or if you have advanced its good all round I'm not letting it go I love it.
