Comments about Fender Stratocaster Tone:

well the guitar works, like a strat, it sound a real strat sound no like the copies, so I do not want to mentioned, the brands, so I like it, the only thing I replace was the bridge pickup for a very old blue lace sensor just because I usually need a humbucker on the distorsion and believe it or not but the middle and neck original pickups sound louder than the lace sensor on the clean mode , but they turn to some kind of "micky way" on distorsion, so the lace blue sensor is a little quiet about noise, and the noise was the only reason about the change, so overall the sound is good, there s few imperfections on the countoured body, but I don't mind about a perfect figure, the nut was defective the low E and high E strings have different measure between 5&6 and 1&2, need to be replace it, bad for Fender quality guys, the nut is the nut and hasve to be all the six strings in paralell, well the spring cover also have a defective slot you need to remove the cover each time you restring the guitar so the slot is aout of place, and well this is a cheap strat real one, so it is like a persian carpet if you look closer you will see the imperfections, but get a little away and you will love it, if you do the sound with your fingers there is no difference btween an american strat and a MIM strat
