Alder body, 3 single-coil pickups and standard synchronized tremolo — it’s where the tradition began and still carries on today.  Check the price.

Features:
It gets some pretty decent classic rock sounds, and with the right pickup selection you can get a decent metal tone out of the pups. The neck is fast and the action came set perfect. With that being said…. This guitar was made very well, it plays Great and looks Fantastic! It makes you want to play it.

Quality:
The natural wood grain is clearly visible under the lighter brown portions of the burst. The maple neck is strong and ‘fast’ and the electronics/tuners do their job without any problems so far.

Tone/volume knobs and switch all work just fine. The pickups aren’t too bad, but it really depends on taste. With the stock strings and stock pickups, it’s a decent guitar. It really comes down to taste. Right now, it sounds beautifully bluesy to me with everything stock, but the pickups can be a bit muddy and tinny at the same time.

Sound:
There is a difference between ceramic and alnico magnet pickups. It isn’t just the differences in their magnetic qualities. It is the fact that alnico magnet pickups have 6 small magnets and ceramic magnet pickups have 1 magnet with 6 steel pole pieces. If the presence or absence of tone pickups in the chain affects the tone.

Value:
A great guitar for the money spent. Check latest price.

Ease of Use:
These aren’t very well crafted. that translates to an uncomfortable neck profile and so-so frets. But overall its OK.

Overall:
Great for beginners and for long time users, the recommend changing the pickups and tuners.

The Stratocaster XII features an Alder body, Maple neck and Rosewood fingerboard with 21 frets.

Feature:
The finish and the look of this guitar are great and the sound is good (A little muddy using the neck pickup). The factory setup on this thing is horrible, the action was so high it was unplayable. This can NOT be corrected just by lowering the bridge, the neck has to be removed. After a lengthy setup it plays well with out any fret buzz. The neck is a little to narrow for my liking causing me to bump other strings while fretting. Has good looks and stylishly light. The guitar to hard on wiring though.

Quality:
This is a great sounding 12 string that looks cool and is extremely easy to play. The instrument is quite light in weight with good balance and it has a rather narrow neck. The tone is really perfect for a 12 string and this guitar is easier than most other 12 strings I’ve tried. The guitar arrived in perfect condition and fits in a standard strat-sized case. It has a solid feel and the finish is spot-on Fender beautiful.

Sound:
This guitar has pretty good sound depending on the amp you use. It is a good beginners guitar but for more experienced players this isn’t your choice. As far as the sound goes the sound on these is comparable to what you would get on far more expensive 12 strings. They sound beautiful, unique and at this price it is a great buy. It sounds like a strat, but adds the chorus, phase, jangle sound of the extra 6 strings. It sounds great both clean, and with some grit.

Ease of Use:
If you have never owned a 12 string before this is an easy playing instrument and this guitar will bring out a different side to your playing as it does to mine.
The action is great right out of the box and it is EZ to chord. When you plug it into your Jangle Box and Sonic Stomp, the sound of this guitar is as good as my Rickenbacker 12 which costs a great deal more than the Strat.

Value:
This guitar is worth a little less then they’re asking, around 150 less. Check Latest Price.

Desirability:
The 3 color sunburst gives this guitar that vintage look, so that really appeals to us old Byrd’s and Beatles fans, who already love the jangly sound of the electric 12.

Feature:
In the future a case would be nice to include for an additional cost. Just to protect such a prize. Satisfaction guaranteed. Came with an Allen Wrench.

Quality:
This guitar is very well made. High quality ESPECIALLY for as inexpensive as this is very nice. Anyplace you play it would be appropriate. It just fits you like a glove, like an old friend when you see them again. That’s something you don’t get with other brands Thanks Fender. Great workmanship and quality for the money.

Sound:
Sounds like a strat. It sounds like a really angry, roaring tyrannosaurus, who is surrounded by 200 hungry raptors, who haven’t eaten for six years. Of course pickups could be hotter. But other devices pick up that easily. Looks and plays like a true Fender.

Value:
EXCELLENT value for the money. Check latest price.

Ease of Use:
Very similar with strat.  May play any gig you want, everything will fit nicely together.

Desirability:
Burst finish, Solid Alder Body, Sealed tuning keys, jumbo frets, Maple top, pearl pick guard. What a value, WOW!!! Not seen this value before. GREAT job Fender for offering a Deluxe Squire this way. Feels like an old friend who’s come home. Very appealing blad!

Overall:
When you got what is Real Quality don’t need to search for anything because it is your question.
