« Fender Stratocaster Made in Mexico »

I bought the strat at Guitar Center. I pain $439 for it new. I really like the feel of it. The neck feels fast and easy to play. I traded in an Ibanez which I had bought there also.

This guitar is very easy to play. I set it up myself, so everything is how I like it. I have large hands, and the strings are far enough apart to make me sound better.

My only problem is I prefer the Les Paul sound. Which is why I play that a lot more than the Strat. I play Rock and metal mostly. I new that when I bought it. But, I just ordered a fat strat pickguard and pickups. So hopefully I can play the strat a little more.

The construction is great. I compared mine with an American Strat. And I just couldn't convince myself the minor differnces were worth the cost. It feels solid.

I love the way this guitar feels, and hopefully the sound will be better real soon. Either way it was money well spent. I want to learn some SRV any way. And you gotta have a Strat to play that.
