Why we bought it

The Strat formula at a price that leaves room for an amp. Three single coils, a five-way switch, a tremolo bridge and a maple neck with a comfortable modern profile. We set it up on the bench: truss rod, action and intonation, and it holds tune through the trem. A sound first electric, or the spare that lives at the office.
