ST-20MN LH CA : We who are about to strat salute you.

Starting off I've been looking into buying a cheap strat for a while having previous bad experience with two other brands which I will not mention names.

Firstly, straight out of the box, a quick tune and instantly playable with smooth fretwork and a comfortable neck and have managed to get the action a little lower which was really low out of the box. intonation was almost perfect. Literally 15 minutes and this guitar was fantastic.

Secondly the pickups. What have you put in this little gem, there wonderful I have played expensive strats and they don't sound as good as these. I've run cleans to crunch to driven blues to hard Rock and these pups really hold up well no squealing etc...

In conclusion I love this guitar I can't believe the price. Its always a pleasure to pickup and play and captures the tone,feel and essence of what a stratocaster is with quality underdog vibes. Great product for a beginner or an experienced player like myself (29yrs) who's gained quite a collection of axes over the years.

My only negative point would be that the machine heads are a little bit rough but provide great tuning stability nonetheless.
