Fender Review: Tex-Mex Stratocaster

History:

Purchase: I got this tex mex strat at a store called Guitars Plus. I was looking for a nice bluesy sounding guitar and I knew I wanted a Strat. It was used so I paided about 400 dollars. The owner said it had been sitting in a stock room for a couple years and he brought it back to his shop and there it was waiting for me.

What I Like About This Fender Tex-Mex Stratocaster: I love the way this guitar feels and plays. Its got the vintage hardware the tex mex pickups and a rosewood fretboard. It is does extremely well for playing Stevie Ray Vaughan type stuff and it is just a really nice guitar.

What I Do NOT Like About The Fender Tex-Mex Stratocaster: There is really nothing i dislike about this guitar. Its perfect for me. If you want to get the true tone out of it put big strings on it.

Fender Tex-Mex Stratocaster Quality Rating: The quality is great. I've wacked it off a few things and stuff got a few marks and nicks in it, but thats what happens with gigging and a hard playing style.

Review Summary: This guitar is great for blues and classic rock. I would hate seeing a punk rocker playing one of these. These are great guitars even though they are made in mexico they are still very nice.

Rating of this Fender product: 5
