Product Review: Fender Standard Fat Strat Electric Guitar

You want a Fender Stratocaster but don't have the budget to get the $950 US American made instrument, don't think that you have to lower your standards incredibly by going to the cheaper Mexican made version. Sure, it's no USA Strat but for the money, it's a great buy. Below is my review of this great musical instrument.

I ordered this Fender Standard Fat Strat through mail order. It arrived securely packed and without damage at my door promptly. I've always been a bit uneasy about ordering a guitar through the mail but this experience was fine (knocking on wood)

Features

The Fender Standard Fat Strat is a Mexican made electric guitar. The guitar features an Alder wood body, a maple neck, a maple or rosewood fretboard (I chose the maple), Fender tuning machine heads, one hum-bucking pickup in the bridge position, one single coil pickup in the middle position and one single coil pickup in the neck position. 

The Fender Standard Fat Strat has a 5 way pickup selector switch, a volume and two tone knobs. It also features 21 vintage style frets with a vintage style tremolo bridge. The guitar comes in color choices of Black, Arctic White, Brown Sunburst, Midnight Wine and a Silverish Grey. All with a white pick-guard. That being said, let's get down to bare tacks.

How does it sound?
