John, I'm not a pro but, is it the sound or the way it feels in your hands that makes the price right. Consider that it is a 50's reissue. (or both)?

[johnhguitar]

Honestly, I gave up trying to put together a guitar I was satisfied with and found this and said, "Could there be a better guitar for me?" I've used it in the studio and at gigs and people always compliment me on the tone I'm getting. I don't have to keep looking if it's doing it's job right?

I do like the new Fender Strat Special that's much cheaper but for now I've got what I need in this instrument.

Thanks for your interest.

John, what string brand and gauge do you use on your guitars?

[johnhguitar]

Usually I use .10 gauge on the solid body electrics. With my jazz guitar I use .13 flatwounds.

I been playing an acoustic guitar for about a year on and off. I know 9 or 10 songs and I'll like to buy my first electric guitar. Could you, John, please recommend something for me? I would really appreciate it very much! Thanks!

[johnhguitar]

Pick up different guitars that are in your budget. Play instruments but don't just order one that someone says is good. You make the choice after playing it. Thanks for your interest.

Hi Mate, What are the pups please. Great demo`s thankyou.

[NintendoSinceBirth1]

you can really tell the difference between this and other strats, its sounds ten steps above the rest when you crank your pro junior and play it, nice playing you deserve that beast

I mean no disrespect, but is it me or John doesn't try as hard on demonstrating stratocaster than telecaster. I mean I was going to buy a strat, but after seeing Mexican made telecaster review, I totally change my mind, because tele displays more character than strato regardless of versatility.
