I like the Floyd sound, but playability is for me the most important, any experience with this guitar anybody?

The "light" is the grain of ash, not the weight of the guitar. I'd suggest you get out and try a few and make your own decision to what feels best for you.

I think the Lite Ash Strat, and particularly the Tele, are amazing bang for your buck. Seymour Duncan pickups, birdseye maple necks with abalone dot markers, and nice grain on the natural finish bodies that I've seen (why would you want a colored body on that wood?). At the price, what's not to like?

My only tiny reservation is that I find those pickguards a little cheapy looking - but easily replaced. I think three-ply parchment looks particularly good on those instruments.

So, go for it, before Fender think better of the knock-down deal they are offering!

Cheers - C
