Fender Review: Stratocaster (Mexican Made)

Fender Electric Guitars



History:

Purchase: Bought it used at a guitar shop in town. Traded in a Jackson RR-10D Rhodes flying V electric guitar and about $75.

What I Like About This Fender Stratocaster (Mexican Made): When I bought the guitar I liked that the previous owner had equiped it with 3 Fender Lace Sensor Pickups (red, blue, and silver). When I decided to replace one of the pick-ups with a seymour-ducan livewire active pick-up I found out that the Lace-sensors wern't wired correctly. So when I got it all fixed, got my new pick-up in, got the bridge adjusted..... It was perfect. I love the guitar and I can't think of anything that I would change about it. It is marroon and i took off the white pick guard to put on a tortoise shell... MMM it's beautiful, black knobs and pick-ups. Awesome guitar all around, great for any style of music.

What I Do NOT Like About The Fender Stratocaster (Mexican Made): N/A

Fender Stratocaster (Mexican Made) Quality Rating: For being a Mexican Strat i can't find anything wrong with the construction at all. Bridge works fine, I do use the tremelo. Fenders are awesome.



Review Summary: The strat is the best guitar I have ever owned. I'm currently looking to get another guitar with 24 frets and some humbuckers, but there is no way I'm getting rid of my fender.

Rating of this Fender product: 5

Other Fender Reviews That May Interest You:



Fender Eric Clapton Signature Stratocaster - If you want the easiest guitar in the world to play, with a smooth, huge tone, get one of these. One of the guys that did sound for me when I was playing this guitar called it the "Green Machine". I named it "Miss Molly" from the song "Good Golly Mi...

Fender Strat (USA) - Great guitar because of its versatility and of course one of the most popular guitars in the world because of the quality of sound it produces. Doesn't look half bad either....

Fender Classic Series ´50s Strat - I´ve never played a "real" vintage Strat but I guess this guitar must be close to that sound: very clean (while a little noisy on the background) classic guitar. As you´re suspecting at this stage I liked the guitar a lot. Highly recommended. ...

Fender Standard Jazz Bass Mexican 4-string - A good bass, but the price is overly inflated simply because of the Fender name. If you're not thinking of upgrading any of the parts, an Ibanez would give you a better value, but if you have the money and skill, an upgrade in the pickups and bridge...

Fender Standard Telecaster - i recommend that you definitely buy this guitar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...
