    I heard many good reviews about this guitar before I purchased one and I saw it in the flesh as one was used as a little stage prop on the Westend show of Hairspray...What a waste of a good guitar I thought! Strangely it's my backup guitar for gigging, I mainly use a modified cheap yamaha pacifica 112v and I don't play it as much as I should! I think it's a decent guitar, but to be honest, I tired a 50's classic player strat at the same time, which I thought suited me much more, it felt right, but I really wanted the 60's model so just went with it! It's a subtle sonic blue!
    I think if you're looking for a nice strat, but don't want to pay a fortune, I would go for it, it's solid, sounds good, feels like a classic and I think it will age very nicely indeed!

    This is the first Strat of many which have passed through my hands that I can honestly say I can truly get on with. The neck is a great shape and the flatter radius board and big frets make for a very slinky playing experience.
    The split post tuners are, for me, always a pain when changing strings and regular posts with holes would be a better option.
