The guitars are nicely finished: rolled fretboards ... none of the Mexican "jaggies" that I've been seeing lately, very stable tuning even with heavy trem use and brand new strings, and the Texas Special pickups destroy the Tex-Mex ... nice and fat sounding.
They are indeed $799 ... but a 10% coupon will knock that down to $720. Not bad for an American made guitar. I say good on Fender for this one!

Good to know i just might have to bite on the Black HSS model Strat that is one sexy looking Guitar!!
