Shocked to say the least.
First I want to say, I've owned American professional strats, and an American artist series. I had purchased 2 American pro 2 strats from sweetwater... Both had issues out of the box, so I returned (not as easy as they make it sound) After a while I decided to order this less expensive MIM model, and throw in a YJM loaded pickguard... Mainly because I want a YJB signature, but… read more I'm not sure if I'd like the scalloped neck, and sweetwater isn't as kind about returns as they claim, unfortunately. But upon receiving this buttercream beauty, I was shocked. I honestly see no downgrade from the American pro strat, with exception of 3 things... 1. No contour to the heal... But that's fine, I'm used to the strat block heal. 2. No s switch... But honestly, that wasn't really my thing anyway. 3. No case (but let's be honest, those are never free, they are bundled in and called free). I love this guitar so much I'm tempted to buy another to put the YJM in, as this sounds and plays great. In a blind test I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between this and an American model. It's just a great guitar.
A very, very tasty guitar!
Bought this guitar with help from my Sales Engineer Adam Vaughn so I could leave my American Professional strat at home when playing out. Thing is, this guitar is *nearly* as nice! Full size pots, shielded cavity, really great pickups and love the two point tremolo with full size block. Will swap out the tuners for lockers, but that's a personal thing and not really necessary… read more on this guitar. Made in Mexico Fender products are really almost on par with their American made counterparts...at a seriously substantial cost savings. Thanks again Adam and Sweetwater!
Sweet, Sweet, Sweet...
This Strat is just gorgeous! She plays beautifully and didn't need a set up. What can I say!? She's a bonafide Stratocaster!! A friend asked; is it made in America!? The last time I checked, Mexico was still a part of N. America AND California was once part of Mexico. So yes! She's as American as any other Strat I've played. She delivers that sweet, clean, single coiled sound that… read more you only get from a Strat. I love, love, love this guitar. I just can't seem to put it down!! DM
Great strat!!
The team at Sweetwater were awesome from start to finish. And this player strat is everything I was looking for! Love it! Plays and sounds fabulous!
Great Strat
Purchased the Player Stratocaster in Buttercream and ordered a bone nut upgrade and had it Plek'd. The guitar looks and plays great. The pickups sound nice and there really isn't a bad thing to say. It's a really nice Strat.
