Overall Rating:

Fender Stratocaster Yes Find the round body uncomforable sometimes It's a beautiful guitar

Model Year: 1980
Price: $900.00 Cdn (new)
Where Obtained: Lillo's Music

Features:

I think I put the right model, it's a custom balladeer built for a southpaw, has a pickup in the body and is one sweet guitar

Playability:

The neck tapers slightly, it's the only guitar I've owned so I can't compare it to anything but my buddies Fender Strat; I love playing the blues but can only do them justice on this guitar with extra light gauge strings. My next axe will be a Strat, U.S. made.

Sound Quality:

Fender Champ, kinda cheap amp but OK for me. Bass isn't the best.

Durability:

Very reliable, rarely needs tuning, likes to be kept in a humid environment
