Sounds like a good price to me. That guitar should allow you to play whatever style you like. Good luck and welcome to the forum............ 8) Mike

No I don't think you were cheated. $455 seems fair. Is it in good condition?

As for what music you can play on a Strat....well you can play anything you want. It's the most versatile guitar ever. But since your Strat has a humbucker in the bridge and a Floy-Rose tremolo, it won't quite have the classic old school Fender sound. It will however excell at heavy metal!

I don't think you got cheated -- I'd say you paid the going rate for that guitar as long as it's in optimum condition. It's a dive-bomber, with a HBer, so the sound will be unlike a traditional strat - it's a shreading machine. The MIJ guitars offer excellent workmanship, of that you can be sure.

If this is your first guitar, learn and enjoy!

The build quality of these guitars is extremely good. You probably paid in the ballpark of what the original owner paid for it new.

Good price on a MIJ. As for music, its a strat. Sky's the limit. Play what you like, everything is covered with the strat!
