This is a beautiful example of the Fender American professional Stratocaster. The fit and finish are great. The VMod pickups sound great and I love the olive color. This is just a very nice American stratocaster that came in a TSA flight case.

Although the antique olive was not necessarily my first color choice, it looks amazing in person. The finish is much thinner than the finish on my MIM Standard telecaster or strat - I can very faintly see the join lines and grain through the finish, and the instrument itself is very resonant unplugged. Out of the box, the action was basically perfect - I set intonation and tuning and have not had to adjust saddles or tweak the truss rod at all. The neck profile is very comfortable for me - far more than either the 2002 "American Fat Strat Texas Special" or 2012 American Standard I had previously - hand-filling and substantial without sacrificing easy chording and bending. In terms of tones - it really nails all of the bell-like tones strats have become famous for. I am definitely more a fan of the three pickups individually than the 'in-between' settings, but it also has the 'quack' you want if you are an aficionado of those tones as well. The vibrato is light and easy - I don't do a lot of dive-bombing, but it's perfect for adding a bit of shimmer here and there. I know I'm still in the 'honeymoon' period, but I believe it's going to be a long and happy marriage!
