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.
