It's pretty. I wouldn't buy it. All they mention is it has D'Addario strings. They never once mention the quality of the pups or the switches, pots, jacks. I'm pretty sure the electronics would be cheapies.

A further look on Ebay showed lot's of mid 90's American Standard strats for the same money. To me it's a no brainer.
(1)Get a real strat.

(2)Get a fake strat and spend a few hundred bucks upgrading the pups, switches and pots to have a guitar with no resale value. As soon as you buy that thing it'll be worth $200 to $300 max.

Don't worry about a lack of knowledge. We were all ignorant once. I specialized in it. ADD....it's a long story.

Yeah, don't mess with those no name guitars. If you're looking in the $700 range you can get a good American strat or tele. no problem.

The strat looks nice but im kind of interested in the Tele. I've tried it before and i really liked it, how much do you think i can get a standard one for.

Oh Man, the butterscotch blonde for $549? I may have to put the old Flat Top accoustic aside again, get the Tele I've been threatening to get.
