• Excellent

  
  As reviewed by Nelson Ayala on 12/14/2011

  Awesome guitar, the sound is like if the 50's were kept in time and released nowadays with each strum of this beauty. Very light body, vintage neck finish, it feels in between of sticky and satin, but for my playing is enough. The pickguard's eight screws can not hold it flush with the body at some points however not an issue. Tremolo works fine with a little chapstick in the nut, be careful with the small black spring within the hole, once you remove the tremolo arm it will fall. I would prefer the 5 way switch to be installed from factory but still you get it as part of the case candy. Definetely a keeper, you will not regret it.

• Wonderful guitar

  
  As reviewed by Garrett on 3/1/2011

  This guitar is worth every penny! Comparing it to my American Special Telecaster, the quality difference is stunning. Great tone. You will notice that the nitrocellulose finish isn't quite as "quick" as modern finishes, but that'll sort itself out as you play it in. I went with the Surf Green color -- it's a beautiful color, and the first thing people comment on when I take it out of the case. The supplied case and acessories are in line with what you should get with a vintage reissue -- vintage style strap and a non-braided cable that appears to be similar in style to the 1950's era cables. Grab a tweed reissue amp, and you won't need a DeLorean.

• The Strat You Dreamed About.

  
  As reviewed by TOBIN TRAXLER on 9/21/2012

  The guitar is exactly what I was expecting. The intonation and clarity are spot on for a vintage Strat. The Surf Green body had no imperfections. The neck was a little narrow but it was smooth and fast. The only issue I had was a mark on the top of the case but it wasn't worth sending it back because the guitar is perfect. The setup was excellent right out of the box. Match this up with a 57 Champ or a version of the same amp and the sounds are fantastic. I would highly recommend this guitar if you want the vintage look and tone. The pickups are not noiseless so expect the hum at high gain. That's just the way it is.
