I've not played in 30 years and I'm giving this Strat a shot. So far it's been a great guitar. I can't say I've had a guitar that stayed in tune like this one. The fret board is smooth and not bad on your fingers after years of not playing. The bends and pull offs feel effortless. I'd buy this again people.
Is a great guitar, but...

I think this guitar is great. It sounds good and it's easy to press the strings down. However, a day after I got it, the tremolo bar snapped in half. It was really stuck and then snapped leaving a piece of it still in the bridge. Other than that, it's great!
I would buy this again
