The tremolo is likely to detune the guitar when used, so I blocked mine with a wooden wedge inside. Still I think that it's one of the best choices in this price category. It really is a Strat, no doubt about it, and you can't really get that feeling from anything else but a Fender or this Squier (I'm sceptical about the Affinity series...).
