Fender Blacktop Stratocaster HH with Maple Fretboard Electric Guitar Candy Apple Red Maple

bought the sonic blue model with maple neck and i like the look and also was very pleased with the sound on all five switch positions.  very versital guitar.

much better quality than i expected from a MIM guitar.  i did'nt kow what to expect for this guitar but wanted to take the chance.  i have owned many guitars from gibson, ibanez, taylor, and others.

Over the years i have become a strat guy.  they are just more comfortable to paly for me personally.

I have always wanted fenderr to make a double humbucker guitar.  I currently have a artist series blackie, and american Hss strat.  This guitars quality matches the HSS strat.

Great value for the guitar that you get.  no comparison to the others for similar or even higher price.

nothing bad to say about this guitar.  great buy for the money.

very pleased with the look of the guitar

Much better quality than i expected from a MIM guitar.

for the money, i don't think you could beat this guitar. I have several american made fender strats,and the differences i see and hear from this guitar makes it the best value you could find. There is not a dimes worth of difference between this and a american made guitar.

Overall,  made me very happy that i purchased this one.  I always wanted a strat with double humbuckers, and i am blown away by it.  Please don't think i am a salesman for fender if you read this. I would not give this guitar a rating like this if it were a piece of crap.

I have owned a lot of guitars over the years. If you are starting out, or are a experienced musician, you should buy this guitar,it will last you for years and play well.

This guitar is by far the best I've had.  It plays like a dream.  Sound is exceptional.  I would recommend it to anyone.

Good quality, well built guitar.  Pickups sound great

A lot of guitar for the price!

Would recommend this to everyone.

Excellent value for the buck!

Rosewood insert on back of neck was not sanded properly and protrudes slightly at the third fret. Maple neck has slight blemish near the nut. Would have returned this guitar but the neck feels fantastic and the guitar setup right out of the box was perfect! This guitar does out go out of tune!

Best guitar for the money I have played. The maple neck is fast and feels great! The Alnico's sound full and warm but are crunchy when pushed. Its nice to play a strat without the annoying hum from single coils. Love the guitar!!

Great guitar! Disappointed in the packing though! I am a frequent customer of MF and this is the first time I have a complaint about the attention to detail with MF. The box the guitar was packed in was not bubble protected and was sliding around inside the second shipping box. Fortunately after a through inspection I did not find any damage to the guitar.

Everything you need is here.  Nice single coil tones for chord work, or for lead (especially country twang leads).  Great (truly) humbucker tone for the leads or driven fat tones.  The TREM works, really well.  Gorgeous finish and details.

Pickups are a work of genius.  The neck pickup, for example is fantastic, fat yet articulate and full of harmonic overtones.  On a 10 volume, it kicks.  As you know when you turn the volume down a bit on humbuckers you tend to lost the high end, the clarity.  Which is sorta true here as well, BUT when you go all the way down to 2 or 3 on the guitar volume the sparkle magically comes back, for really NICE spanky clean tones with sparkling attack. That alone is awesome.  But the split coil tones are also totally useable, and even excellent in their own right.

PRS and others have tried and not done as well at the coil splitting thing.  This baby gets it RIGHT.  For live playing (which I do often, professionally) the single coil tones offered hwere are great for chord work.  Each of the 5 pickup settings here is VERY nice in its own right, and you will love this guitar for its tone if for nothing else.

Zero defects.  Nice fretwork.  

Eleven actually. 

Been playing over 40 years bla bla bla, own lots of boutique guitars, yada yada.  THIS item is the BEST working-musician guitar I've owned.  GREAT versatility.  Looks like a nicely done franken-caster.  Feels right in the hand.  Sounds great.  AND, you don't really have to worry much about a guitar for this price.  If it gets dented or stolen, not that painful a thing to deal with, ya know?
