Got it for the headstock design and classic trem but fortunate for the price point

Shipped well and protected. The guitar played great out of the box. Love the late 60s headstock design and classic tremolo. The lake placid blue is an iconic color.

Is one of my favorite Stratocaster’s to play.

They guitar is absolutely amazing, the limited addition from adorama was the gloss finish. Typically the American performer Stratocaster in the mystic blue finish is satin. The customer service was great and the price was amazing. The guitar came set up flawlessly and They guitar is absolutely amazing, the limited addition from adorama was the gloss finish.
