Fender Crafted in Japan '57 Reissue strat. Two tone sunburst, maple neck. The finish is top notch, not a single flaw that I've found yet. The neck is smooth, and all the frets are level, and smooth with bends. Unplugged, it sounds very resonant, and sounds has some nice acoustic qualities. Plugged in, it sounds great, even through the POS Peavey amp I have here right now. Very clear, with nice highs and lows. Each pup position gives it's own distinct tone. The neck position is bassy, and the bridge is not too bright, and really resonates.

I haven't played too much with the tone knobs yet, but they really affect the tone of the guitar when you play with it. It's got really light string on it, but I'm going to put on some mid range strings today and give it another go.

:)

So far, I'm very satisfied with it. I'll need to plug it into my Traynor tonight though, and give it some play over the next week to really tell my level of satifaction.

    It's been a long time coming. I'm fairly picky about the sound and feeling of my guitars, and I'm super poor right now, I'm always hesitant to buy. This guitar has been 4 years coming. I've bought and sold about 5 guitars over the last couple of years, and I'm very satisfied with this one. It plays better than the American Standards I was trying out a few weeks ago.

    I'm also picking up some serious McCready vibes with this sucker.
