    This is a Keeper. i was Playing this at a Jazz Improv invite Through a Line Catylist on 50w setting Mic'd up.No pedals. This Guitar has Bite and can go Mellow and also provide you withan "acousticky" chime. Now This Ocean Turquoise Color under the stage lIghts with the Red Tortoise Guard and the cream pick-ups knobs is a very stylish combination that suggest to the viewer they may be in for something uniquely different.In what way? That is up to you. I haven't even set mine up yet..I will soon but it still played nicely sounded EXCELENT, Looks dreamy sounds creamy, Trem works great, Like the shorter precise angle of the arm.

    I can not stress how impressed I am with this guitar. I'm a Fender Japan snob, but when I first saw this on the wall of my local Guitar Center, I bought it on the spot. I didn't even plug it in. Here's the one hangup: it is probably going to be set up terribly out-of-the-box or off the floor. The action was so high it was nearly unplayable and the intonation was off. That's not a setback for me though, as I set up and work on my own guitars. I fully expected to even have to replace the pickups. If you're new to guitar or not familiar with guitar maintenance, I'd recommend a professional set-up. I got her home and did a set-up. Once I did, I was incredibly impressed. The QC on mine was great. No sharp frets or any cosmetic issues. The neck is thin and a breeze to play. The rosewood fretboard is also fantastic. None of that cheap pau ferro garbage here. Perhaps the biggest surprise was the pickups. The neck is absolutely lovely clean or distorted. Not muddy, and it articulates very well. The same can be said for the middle position. The humbucker is nothing to write home about, but it's serviceable, and I've certainly played worse in this price range. Get this thing in front of a Tube Screamer and it really shines. I am now a convert to these Player II strats. Kudos to Fender for an excellent upper mid-tier product here. It beats the heck out of anything Gibson (or Epiphone) is putting out, particularly when it comes to quality control. Those products are a nightmare. I even recently recorded a demo with my band using this guitar and it sounded stellar. It's not quite on the level of a Japanese Fender, but it's darn close.

    I was never a stray guy, I got a hold of one my friend found in the trash, rebuilt it and started playing it. Now I am in love. Picked this up and can not put it down. Gorgeous color way, incredible quality. " Made in Ensenada" fender showcasing what Mexico is capable of. Ace guitar.
