Price Paid: £120
Description: Left handed. 3 pickups s/s/s, strat style with rosewood fretboard and what may be an alder body..it's red wood anyway. Unaltered from purchase.
Tone:
Comments: This guitar like most strats can do all types of sound, although really heavy can be out of its reach, I can get a good clean chord sound, good jazz sound, good imitation of eric clapton and stevie ray etc. Playing through a Fender Ultimate Chorus which kicks ass too! Sometimes high notes lack volume compared to low, but pickups should change that
Quality:
Comments: No problems with finish or parts, but it did play badly when I first got it. I learnt a lot about setting up a guitar and did it myself and now I can honestly say that I have played a £1500 les paul, a £3000 PRS and a £800 strat and they haven't felt as good to play.
Overall:
Pros: Value for money - great! If you pay £120 for a guitar you don't expect to find the one you want to play forever. I haven't played any other guitar that I liked the feel of more.
Cons: Setup was terrible upon first purchase. Pickups a little weak, but can be changed.
