Review: GREAT LITTLE STARTER GUITAR - I bought this guitar during the PRIME Day sales. Paid $115.00. I bought it for my grandson who is finally showing some real interest in learning to play the guitar. It is a starter guitar made in China and it never will be or play like an American made Stratocaster. That being said, here is what I did to make it a nice playing guitar. I am not a professional luthier, I'm just trying to make the guitar playable. 1. Unpacked the guitar and let it sit on a guitar stand for 2 days to let it stabilize at room temperature. I noticed that it is much lighter than a American made Stratocaster 2. Removed the strings, original strings are not good strings at all. 3. Polished every fret with medium scotch-brite pad. ( you need to protect the finger board so you don't scratch it. I use the blue painter tape. I cut the scotch-brite into 1/2" strips. ) 4. Remove the the tape and use a soft dry cloth to wipe dust and residue from neck. If there is dust on the body, use caution so you don't scratch the paint. 5. The finger board appeared to be a very dry wood, not very pretty. So I used some dark Old English polish on it and it soaked the polish up and i let dry completely. I wiped the fingerboard until there wasn't any polish coming off onto the cloth. Don't put polish on the pearl dots. 6. Put the new strings on. I use the D'Addario EXL-115. They hold tune very well. 7. Tune the guitar to standard pitch 8. Adjust the next until it is straight. the hex wrench is provided. 9. Re-tune and checked every fret to make they were all ok and playable. Not one high fret was found. 10. Adjusted the string height on every string, (hex wrench provided). I use a dime to set height on the 12th fret of the small E string. Check every fret to make sure there isn't any string buzz, if there is you will need to raise the height of that string. 11. Checked the intonation at the 12th fret with a guitar tuner. It wasn't perfect, but close enough. ( It is adjustable if needed) 12. Checked tuning and plugged it up to the FBA-10 Guitar Amplifier. It sounds and plays great.
Review: Amazing value and sound. Beautiful. - I paid like $159 for a Stratocaster. It sounds great to a new player of guitar. Been meaning to learn to play my whole life, I got this and a 5w spark mini amp, a music teacher and professional blues musician both recommended it. It looks beautiful, also it’s cool. 1. High build quality 2. Tuned and just learning 3. Size is a proper Stratocaster, any guitar, right for me though. 4. I got the spark mini as my amp which is perfect for my use. Any amp will work. 5. I got the bare guitar but it had good strings. 6. I’m a student so can’t rank playability. I have been meaning to learn guitar for 29 years, Stratocaster made the perfect setup for an apartment dweller, and I think this is a perfect guitar for a student. It fits in a case, I keep it on a stand in the corner, I tried a keyboard so it’s super portable by contrast. Normal sized guitar.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's Fender quality for an unbeatable price
*by I***D on June 20, 2026*

Great guitar, huge step up in quality from cheaper options. Holds a tune for a long time and looks fantastic. Frets are smooth at the end and positioned well on the neck. High quality materials and everything so far is very durable as it looks brand new.
