I purchased this online after trying it out at my local guitar shop, and I was very surprised at the standard of the guitar for the low price a paid ($298 new). Themaple neck makes it sooo easy to play, much better than rosewood, and this gitar is VERY light, allowing me to throw it around and jump about without struggling with the weight unlike many other guitars. It also stays in tune no matter how hard you play it which was also a big plus for me. The only bad point(s) I'd have to put in is that the factory set up was also a bit bad, but only needed to change the action as there was a lot of fret buzz, hey you can't have it all. Dependiong on your style of music this guitar is great, if you play heavier styles then you may want to fit maybe a seymour duncan hot rails humbucker (single coil) size in the bridge as this really does sound nice. But for every other style this guitar has a great sound. Much, and i mean MUCH better than that of a strat. Unlike gibsons this guitar does not feel cheap, and the quality is a high standard. But that is down to personal opinion really isn't it! I have had no problems with this guitar whatsoever and it is very reliable and has never, ever let me down while gigging (never had to use my backup :D). If you are thinking of buying it please please please remember : 1) Always make sure you go and try the guitar you want to buy as not all guitars will be right for you. 2) If you have the money DO NOT buy the squier model thinking as its near the price it will be similar, as it is not. It is nowhere near as good a standard and you will regret it if you can afford the fender! |
