I bought a sonic tele and it was set very well. I had to adjust the intonation just a little. Plays great. Then I saw the strat on sale plus I had a gift card so I bought this also. The frets were not sharp on either neck. Some reviews say the frets need polishing but I found them to be smooth. The strat was set up perfect. A little fret but on the low e but when it warmed up to room temperature it was fine. Action nice on both guitars. Finish was flawless. I have an American tele and strat. Only difference is the American pick ups have a somewhat warmer soundbut not that noticeable. Don't be afraid to give the sonic series a try and save yourself big money. A few years ago a budget guitar was about what you would expect. Now you will be pleasantly pleased.

Great Sound, Poor Quality Control

I picked up this guitar to fulfill my desire of learning guitar a few months ago. While it sounds great, and I love playing it when I get the chance, I'm often plagued by electrical issues with this. While I often travel a good bit, I keep this in a hard case for its protection, but I'm now faced with having to get it serviced for electrical issues for the second time in a few months. If you're set on getting this, be sure to get a warranty for it, and be aware of what you might get into when it comes to the electronics of the guitar.

    I recently got this guitar and it feels and plays great after a quick tune up. It could use a little set up for my personal touch but definitely playable right out the box. Perfectly intonated, action is set nice, not a single sharp fret. It's great for any experience level!

  • A great first electric guitar!

    I have been playing acoustic for years, and finally bought my first electric guitar, this Stratocaster! The fretboard and body color are simply gorgeous. It's super lightweight and the strings are a lighter gauge, making this a great beginner guitar in general. 10/10

    This is my first instrument so I have nothing to compare it to but I couldn't be happier with my purchase. I haven't had to do any tweaks or adjustments and it plays great. It's a beauty too, highly recommend. I thought there was a fret buzz, but it turns out I just needed to learn how to play properly.

    I buy these guitars for may very young grandchildren. This one I would like to keep this one because the sound and feel is very good. I have bought a few poor cheep guitars in the past (12) grand children but the quality, it seems is getting much better.

  • This thing is incredible!

    This is my go-to guitar, and for good reason too. The fretwork compares to that of the best strat you can find, and I gotta say, fender, squiers are getting to be too good!

  • I bought this for my wife who is a beginner!

    I took it out of the box and I have been jamming on it for about an hour, easy playing neck! I know my wife is going to love it! She has an acoustic but her fingers hurt after 10 minutes so I bought her this! It's an awesome playing guitar right out of the box with very low action. Buy the 5 watt lekato amp that plugs into the guitar and jam away, no cords needed.

    Weight?

    Open Reply - Gear-Support
    All guitars vary depending on the density of the wood. Manufacturers usually only spec size and type of wood. Guitars are generally between 6 and 12 lbs. They can be more. The only way to know the weight of an individual instrument is to weigh it. I'm sorry but I don't have one to weigh. This will be approximately 7.5 – 8.0 lbs.
