Fender Standard Stratocaster HSS Electric Guitar Candy Apple Red Maple Fingerboard Review

I did what would make most musicians cringe... I bought a new guitar online, sight unseen, no testing, no trying. The only reason I did was because of Fender's reputation, not only for the main Fender brand, but also their careful attention to the Stratocaster brand. I was not disappointed! The guitar is beautiful! The red and white body looks stunning with the maple neck. The paint job and finish are flawless and arrived well protected with peel-off plastic pieces and a micro-foam covering. Everyone who picks it up loves it, not only for the look but also the feel and the sound. The action is good (not too high, not too low) and when paired with my Fender Mustang amp, this guitar sounds like a gem. The HSS configuration is perfect... I can't think of a reason why someone would go with fewer pickups. You can always turn off some of the pickups for different sounds, but if you don't have them in the first place then you don't have the option to get the full range of sound that they provide. Definitely get the HSS, you won't regret it! This has been a wonderful addition to the home for family and friends and is everything that the Stratocaster name is supposed to represent... beauty, quality, tradition, and terrific sound.

Fender Blacktop Stratocaster HH (Black - Maple Fingerboard) Electric Guitar Review

Fender Blacktop Stratocaster HH (Black - Maple Fingerboard) Electric Guitar
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've owned several Fender American Strats over the years including the Big Apple which I loved. I was a bit leery on purchasing a Mexican Strat as I felt they just didn't have the feel, hardware, electronics and fit and finish of the American models. Because of the HH design, black body, maple neck and of course the price, I had to give one of these Strat Blacktops a shot. I figured I could upgrade hardware and electronics if need be. What a surprise! This guitar is really put together well. No slop between the neck and body, fit and finish is top notch. The pickups are actually quite good. I was anticipating having to swap them out, but they really give me that humbucking depth and tone at the 1 and 5 positions and still get the Fender sound at the 2 and 4. It does sound different than the SD pickups on the Big Apple Strat, but still thick and heavy when dialed in. The neck feels and looks great. I like the 9.5 radius and the gloss finish has that vintage tint to it which looks beautiful with the black body. The only minuses I have are the fret ends are just a little sharp (but not uncomfortable) and the guitar doesn't stay in tune as well as I like when playing hard. Could be the nut or tuners. I leaning towards the nut, but I haven't examined them yet to see. Other than those minor issues, this guitar is a keeper!

This Fender plays much like the Fender I had in 1970. It has no flaws and sounds like a good stat should.

Fender Highway One Stratocaster Electric Guitar Flat Black Maple Fretboard Review

I got the black one with s/s/s and a maple neck
the finish is smooth and matte nitro. the neck has a matte finish as well and is thin and fast with a wide fingerboard and wide string spacing... 10 inch radius... this neck is awesome fast..!!!
The pickups are very HOT wound alnico 3s and have a rich woody tone. the rwrp middle pickup basically gives you awesome humbucker performance in positions 2 and 4. the alder body is 3 piece and resonates well. the sustain was improved when I installed a callaham bridge block.. unplugged this guitar is LOUD.
Because of the rwrp middle pickup though you do lose some strat quack but it more than makes up for it with the humbucker behavior you get in pos 2 and 4... I love this guitar.. weighs only 7.5 pounds.. screams and is a fast player..

Taylor SBX1 Solid Body Classic Electric Guitar, White Review

Taylor SBX1 Solid Body Classic Electric Guitar, White
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this guitar a couple of weeks ago and have given her a little time to settle in and find her place in my world. I was a bit skeptical when I first saw that Taylor was making a solid-body electric guitar. I was in the market for a new guitar and have owned nothing but acoustic guitars for the last 8 years so I figured it was time to get an electric guitar. I hold the belief that for the most part you get what you pay for and knew I wanted to get a guitar that would be with me for a long time. Fender Strats sound awesome but I personally don't like their feel. I'd love a Gibson Les Paul but was already looking at a chunk of change to buy one. I saw that this transparent white beauty was at my local guitar shop and decided that since I was "just looking" anyway, I would give her a try. I was thoroughly impressed. Taylor makes a great guitar. It may be that I come from playing acoustic guitars but I love the neck on this thing. The finish is gorgeous (you really need to see it in person to get the full effect). The pickups cover a broad set of sounds and the sound this thing produces is something I quite enjoy. Taylor makes a case specifically for it that it fits in perfectly with no slop. As of right now I'm just as in love with this thing as I was in the first place. I'd recommend it to anyone. One thing I've always heard about buying a guitar is make sure it feels good to YOU, and for ME this one is "just right".

Fender Standard Stratocaster HSS Electric Guitar Lake Placid Blue Maple Fingerboard Review

In an earlier life, I was a rockabilly bass player--both upright and electric bass-- but never owned an electric six-string. Played acoustical six- and 12-string back in the folk music days of the 1960's. I saw this Strat on the Amazon site and the Lake Placid Blue paint job caught my attention. Since one of my favorite albums is Tony Joe White's "Lake Placid Blues" I thought this must be a sign from God. I clicked it into the cart and the rest is history. Now I'm an aging Swamp Rocker!
Out of the box this axe plays well and the sound is truly Stratocaster. Even my wife (a classical guitar junkie) even recognized the penetrating Strat sound. With a $500 price tag this little Fender is hard to beat. The gig bag is more than adequate protection unless you are planning on opening for the Stones at Radio City Music Hall and need to ship it to New York. :>)
Since my experience has been all acoustical, the Strat will take some 'getting used to' but I don't see that as a major problem and it certainly isn't the guitar's fault.
Anyway, I don't have any reservations about recommending this Fender.
So put one in your shopping cart and I'll see ya at Radio City Music Hall. We'll teach the Rolling Stones a thing or two!

I cannot thank the guys at Kraft enough for the fantastic service they provided when I bought this guitar. And the effort they went to in helping me out was extreme. To say I love this guitar is an understatement. It damn near plays itself and my playing has improved out of site since I took delivery. I could not believe when I plugged it into my Marshall amp that there was nothing but silence until I started to play. Other guitars have given me small, but noticeable, feedback but his beauty was absolutely silent. Playability is supreme, in fact I picked up a "deluxe" Start the other day and it came nowhere near offering the ease of which this baby allows you to play. I was lucky enough to pick up the last one in the shop and I see there are a few still kicking around but I would recommend if you are looking to buy A Clapton Strat you act swiftly because they do not stay on the shelves for very long.
