OK in the last 3 weeks I have had a standard MIM strat, a MIM fat Strat, and now a Lite Ash Strat, I am keeping the ASh strat I love it, the Birdseye Maple neck is so much nicer and smoother than the MIM Maple necks I had and its more of a V shape than the quoted C shape, Build quality seems spot on, it has a American style 2 point trem looks the same as the one on the MIA strat next to it, It feels so much nicer to play, I played the MIA then this and I bought the Lite ash, The neck felt nicer to me. But im sure the MIA is the better Strat, but its a lot more expensive. The Machine heads dont have the fender logo so they must be rubbish I will upgrade them but as it has Seymour Duncan pups they will stay.

That's a pretty instrument you got there - Also, just LOVE the maple neck.
Now you gotta make a video for us to hear that weapon ! :)

Congrats. Just because the tuners don't say fender doesn't nssesarily mean their rubbish. They might be but don't discreadit them because the fender logo isn't on them. That might be one of the things that makes it cheaper. Its more expensive to put the logo on. I like the v neck it helps me Keep posture. Great looking lady bud.
