Good Points: Good looking, comfortable to hold and play. Versatility in musical style and sound outstanding. If they weren't so good, not many people would want to own or play them. That speaks for itself.
Bad Points: Can't think of any offhand.
General comments: I own both a Classic 50;s Strat (Not the Player's version), and also a modified Squier Affinity Strat. I enjoy playing both of them, and would certainly buy another Strat in a heartbeat.

Love the guitar. Easy fingering and can hold a note really well and for a decent time. Chord play is easier for me in comparison to my other guitars. Fairly expensive but that's to be expected in purchasing a Fender Strat.

I like the neck and feel to the body but the frets are a bit too big for my liking. Overall, a great guitar.

The Fender Strat is just beautiful in everyway. It is a song bird, a thing of pure delight. Pure poetry. Hope I can play one in heaven to God himself!

I bought a Fender Strat last Saturday, and I took it back the next day. I was not impressed. For the cost of almost $400, I could've gotten an Epiphone Les Paul. I had one of those new Line 6 Spyder III amps and I found the sound I was looking for, but the Strat didn't deliver. A good starting guitar, but highly overrated for the more experienced players.

I had one of the new-ish Line 6 Spyder III amps, and the amp was not the problem. I found the sound I needed on the amp, but the Strat couldn't deliver. A decent guitar for the beginners out there, but unrecommended for the intermediate to advanced players. A highly overrated guitar.

Fender Stratocaster - Love the feel of the whole guitar! The neck is very comfortable and fast action. The paint finish is just as good as the American series. Hey Its even sorta got that vintage look as well :D Good for old school rock, jazz, especially blues etc. Probably not so much for metal music. Overall a good solid guitar.

The fender stratocaster is a great instrument and is certainly the guitar to get. These guitars will stay in in tune extremley well and produce a great sound in every regular situation. The jumbo silver nickel frets allow for easy playing and the bridge is sturdy enough to withstand thousands of hours of whamybar. This guitar will look and sound great even if it is neglected and you don't do every thing you should. All in all this guitar will stand the test and still look and sound great.

Multi tone guitar. Easy action and feel. Beautifully crafted and it has a unique sound. I bought my Fender Stratocaster Electric Guitar about a year ago, mainly for playing blues and classic rock. I can't put it down, I'm absolutely in love with this guitar.

The feel on these Fender Stratocaster are by far the best. tremendous playability. very easy to mess around with and easy to upgrade. Probably the greatest and best guitar ever made for it's quite simply a legend.

It's hard to imagine a better feeling guitar than a Strat, or most any Fender for that matter. My first was a Mustang, and man I wish I had it now. I've had several Fender models, including the Mex Fat Strat and USA I have now, and also a few Gibsons through the years. The only Gibson model I ever played that was close to the Fender's in feel was a 335, and I'll take the Fender bell tones over the humbucker any day; although that one 335 did have a great sound. If I had to have only one guitar, ...

The Fender Stratocaster is the best guitar in the world, it looks good has very good style and light trim arm. I have five fender stratocasters, two sunbirst 1954. reissue deluxe.and three red strats. two maple and one rose wood. You can play anything from rock to early classical. A really cool nice looking guitar. I would highly recommend this guitar to anyone of any age.

I have the USA delux with the S1 switching on the three noiseless pickups. There are, therefore, 10 different sounds this guitar makes straight from the box from the biting Les Paul alike 70's drive through the sweet bell to the lush Clapton-esque sounds we all love so much. With locking tuners, it's quick to restring and holds its pitch effortlessly. It's been a solid performer and has never let me down at gigs where it does everthing from 50's twang through 60's Steppenwolf, 70's Faces up t ...

There are many views on the web with regard to the American Strat and the Mexican Standard Strat, and specifically which one of the two is best. After spending weeks playing hundreds of them and finally settling on my beautiful Olympic white USA Strat, I can now say that the USA Strat is by far the superior of the two. The tone, the sustain, the feel of the fretboard (USA version has rounded frets), the floating trem and even the weight of the USA Fender Stratocaster electric guitar set it apart ...

I think almost everything about this guitar is perfect, except when playing heavy leads. I like the perfectly shaped body that just floats in your lap :), also the rosewood fingerboard, and there's just something about it, that you feel you can press the strings down super quick.
The Fender Stratocaster is an extremely good buy! I'd say 9.7 out of 10 because you can get one for such little money.

There are a wide variety of Fender Strats, and the American Made Custom Shop are the most expensive and desirable. There are quite a few choices on pickups, which makes a huge impact on your sound. The Mexican made Strat's are about 1/2 the price of the American Made, and they are a good value. However, these are not considered collectible yet.
I have found most new Fenders have to be set up upon arrival. Certain Strat pickups can be a little noisy with 60HZ buzz.
Overall, the Strat is a c ...

The Fender Stratocaster is comfortable to play and beautifully built. The Strat is a tone machine. The three single-coils offer a great many different sounds. Best of all might be the classic Fender clean sound. It is crystal clear with great lows and shimmering highs. I guess this sounds like a commercial, but I love my Strat. I play a 3-color sunburst American Std with a maple fingerboard.
