    I bought this guitar in the blue color as opposed to the white one I took back... this one was spot on with just a regular setup. Pickups were good as was the tuning stability. I guess they are working out the kinks, quality control wise.

  • Great entry level to Fender

    I actually took the Strat model back and bought the Telecaster version and I was much happier with it. Start has a nice neck and body is really similar to sn Affinity. Pickups are pretty weak. The neck was actually only 2K. Bridge was little over 5K. Did not stay in tune that well.

    It's using the same exact electronics as the sonic and the neck the same exact neck used on the debut guitar.

    How do I take out the whammy bar? I tried to get mine out, and it snapped.

    Unscrew it counterclockwise – The tremolo arm on a Fender Standard Strat usually just screws into the tremolo bridge. To remove it, gently but firmly twist it counterclockwise until it comes out. Don’t force it – If it feels stuck, try wiggling it slightly while unscrewing, but avoid using tools unless absolutely necessary (and with care) to prevent stripping threads. Check for push-in style – Most Standard Strats use screw-in arms, but if yours feels like it’s not threaded, it could be a push-in type (more common on newer or upgraded bridges). In that case, gently pull it straight out with a little rocking motion.
