    .. but I was blown away by the playability and tone of this guitar. I have a 2009 American Standard strat with "Fat 50s" in it which honestly does not compare to this beast, not even close actually. This guitar has all the spank you want for southern rock or flip it to the use the neck or bridge pick-ups for sweet, compressed, sustained tone (think Eagles solos). SRV tone comes naturally. The modern neck makes it so easy to bend notes, plays fast and smooth. I really wish I'd gotten one of these a heck of a lot sooner. And, the finish looks incredible. I own a lot of very expensive guitars and right now, this is the one I'm picking up each and every time.

    I love the color of the guitar and love the way it sound. Only personal downside for me is that the action on it a tad bit high when i try lowering it, has fret buzzes even when adjusting the neck w a trust rod it still buzzes.

    This is my first Stratocaster and it's color was the only reason I bought it. I picked mine up 2nd hand in June and have loved the single coil tone ever since. This is a great guitar to pick up, especially on sale. Since I've purchased it, I've switched out the pick guard so something with more personality.
