Memphis Review: Strat Copy

History:

Purchase: I actually recieved this guitar from my school's jazz band department. I signed up to play in it, but they said I needed an electric. Since I was playing acoustic at the time, I took the offer of the memphis for the whole year. At the time of this review I have had it for two months.

What I Like About This Memphis Strat Copy: It is truly a starters guitar. I think that in that respect, I mean, it plays okay, you can learn on it, it works. It is extremely tough, mine is circa eighties, and for a cheap guitar it still works okay.

What I Do NOT Like About The Memphis Strat Copy: I absolutely hate the crappy tuners, the last pickup is finicky( it will make some-no sound often), and it can go out of tune a couple times a day! AHHHHHHH! To a beginner who doesn't know what it sounds like to be in tune, than they wouldn't care. It also has the most lackluster body you will ever see. The fretboard is glazed plywood, same with the body.

Memphis Strat Copy Quality Rating: IT IS SO TOUGH. Oh my god it is. The quality of workmanship is 0, but otherwise, it is tough.

Review Summary: Listen anyone out there, it is about on par with a squire bullet. It is your bottom of the barrel crappo guitar. But, if you're a beginner and find this for cheap, you will be fine. However, I have only been playing for 4 months, and Iv'e already succeded its abilities.

Rating of this Memphis product: 2
