This Strat has never let me down. Although I was skeptical when I purchased it, I have grown to have much respect for this guitar. I can tell you that it blows my 1979 Fender Stratocaster away in sound, performance and comfort.
General Comments
This was a “sleeper” guitar and not much information was released about it. Even Sam Ash can’t tell you construction details since it has been discontinued only that it was a special run made for their stores.
The most impressive aspect other than U.S. hardware is the neck. Extremely smooth to play and the fiery curly maple is unlike any I have seen.
The least impressive aspect are the stamped covered chrome machine heads. Spend the $30.00 and purchase a Fender replacement set and they will drop right in.
