Fender Player Stratocaster Plus Top PF Tobacco Sunburst
Had a horrible setup out of the box, frets aren't level, alot of fret buzz on the low strings. It sounds really good though I need some work to make it feel good too.

In one sentence - great guitar. Fine craftsmanship, looks fantastic, but most important great sound and playability. Real joy to hold in hands and make music. Covers wide range of music styles. Guitar came well packed and with basic setup done by Musicstore. It needs final setup at home or at your local luthier. In example, it came tuned with safisfying string action but I needed to fix pickup height, intonation of strings and to do some tremolo adjustment. That's nobody's fault. It's just the way it is with almost all new guitars. It can't be perfect out of shop. Recommendation.
