Fender Review: Japanese Stratocaster

History:

Purchase: I got this guitar used from a private seller, i paid about $350.

What I Like About This Fender Japanese Stratocaster: what do i ... LIKE? this may take awhile... i like...ummm... everything. First of all, it looks like a guitar anyone would be envious over, secondly, it IS a guitar everyone should be envious over. I love this guitar. The sound quality is amazing, you pay a third of what you pay for an American and it is SO close in sound it is nearly undistinguishable. Mine is a standard, it has three single coil pickups, and i cant say anything but it sounds like a million bucks. I haven't had a problem with it scince I got it. I love it. I wouldnt even trade this guitar for an American strat any day. Seriously.

What I Do NOT Like About The Fender Japanese Stratocaster: Dislike? what is that?

Fender Japanese Stratocaster Quality Rating: Its a Jap Strat, Blonde fretboard, 21 frets. Standard Strat Neck, Body and Bridge Set up. ...THE PICKUPS ARE HOT....

Review Summary: I urge anyone who is buying a used American to just TRY a jap first. See what you think. It sounds different, but honestly not worse. Just try it.

Rating of this Fender product: 5
