FenderFSR Squier Sonic Stratocaster, Laurel Fingerboard, Black Pickguard, Arctic White

Took a different route on this one, let the neck acclimatize for a week. The guitar feels really solid, like the late 70s look of this FSR Sonic Strat. Like the single coil pickups and the laurel fretboard. Can't beat the price for what you get. Like the way this one is breaking in - the guitar might have some mojo.

I actually prefer short-scale Gibson guitars but bought this coz I wanted a Strat - I played one when I was a kid and missed it.I chose this one instead of the one with the hard tail bridge to get the full "Strat" sound.I'm pleased with the decision.The fretwork is great on mine;The neck and hardware are perfect.The action needed to be adjusted coz it was really high but that's typical.The neck finish isn't the high-gloss Maple lacquer that I liked so much, but feels very nice - like my Jackson Dinky.I suggest looking at a couple Youtube videos discussing Strat setup before starting to seriously play it; as the setup can affect your "experience" with the guitar... Especially the trem bar,,, mine was extremely tight.About the only negative thing that I've found so far is it goes out of tune a little easy, but that's trem bars for you... ESPECIALLY if you adjust it to "float" - but I digress...For the money, I'm going to say you're getting as close to a Strat as you're prolly gonna get with this price-point.

I got it cause I wanted single coils and I love how they sound
