Hi All,
I'm thinking of buying a 57 strat hotrod, does anyone have one? and if so, please tell me your thoughts. How do you like the "soft V" neck, the pickups, playabilty, neck radius, workmanship, etc.....thanks so much.

i played one about4 months ago, and it is an extremely nice guitar.... god craftsman ship, the pickups sound great, and its the same overall quality you expect from a strat.... the neck is slightly different, but neck size doesn't bother me at all, i adjust to them pretty quickly, but i think it would be a good guitar if you decide to get one after playing it

I would consider the 62 if it had a maple neck. unfortunetly they don't offer it. 8)

I have the 62' Vintage Hot Rod Strat. It's my favorite guitar. The pickups sound dynamite and the neck feels really good.

To me there's nothing prettier then a '57 strat. I love that vintage look.
