50th anniv US Strat

Posted by MrSuperlead from Au on Feb 12, 2007

Reviewer's Background: Professional musician

Reviewer's Play Style: Rock, Hard rock, Blues, Country

Ive been playing classic rock for 20 years, I have been using early metal panel Marshall amps for a few years now and dont plan on changing, this guitar has everything I need to aid in my rock sound, great neck, great ash body tone, the pickups were supposed to be 54 custom shop but have plastic wrap, not cloth, dont know what they are but they dmust have come in them all because Ive owned 2, I stupidly sold the 1st after a few years for a custom shop, classic strat, it looks and sounds better than the 50th anniv but was harder to play and what good is that? so I bought another 50th anniv, its good for most styles of music, Ive left the pickups stock because Ive tried lots of different types and brands and was happiest with most Fender stock single coils despite most people dis agreeing, I think thats mostly due to hype, listen to your own ears, youll probarbly find these are best, Fender has wound more pickups than all other manufacturers combined.. thats saying something, they aint stupid.

50th anniversary American Strat

I have been playing a 1971 Tele for the past 25 years. A year and a half ago I received a 50th anniversary Strat for a birthday present (note: be kind to your siblings; karma is a wonderful thing) I absolutely adore this guitar. The tone through my Super Reverb is nothing less than amazing. The neck is very playable. I would recommend this axa to anyone.

Best Strat for the Money

Posted by TELEYANK from New York on Oct 27, 2005

Experience w/product: I own it

Reviewer's Background: Hobbyist

Reviewer's Play Style: Rock, Country, a little blues, some alternative

I am a Tele player. I wanted a real strat to play classic rock. This guitar is the real deal. I love the way it plays, it has fast and smooth neck, and I love the way it feels. I play it through a 1968 Fender SF Vibrolux. Sounds just like a strat should sound. Not only does it sound great, you can play most any type of music with this instrument.

Best electric guitar I've ever owned

Posted by Motorhome Brother from Spokane, WA on Oct 21, 2005

I purchased my American-made 50th Anniversary Strat last spring. I've always been a Clapton fan, so owning an American made strat was the icing on the cake. I LOVE the maple neck and fretboard. I feel that with its smoothness that I am able to play faster.The C-shaped neck feels great in my hands. The U-shaped neck which is on the 1954 Custom shop reissue feels a bit to wide for me. My guitar produces a very clear "strat" sound, which is super if you're into "surf" music. However, I play a lot of Blues songs, and the guitar is also perfect for this. I can't imagine owning a guitar that would beat this one. It's beautiful and plays and sounds wonderful. In conclusion, I play mine through a new 64 version Fender Twin Reverb. The combination of this particular guitar and amp is awesome.
