LOw Price? Make no mistake. Low price Yes. However the quality is VERY good. All major guitar makers sell a copy of the Fender Stracaster, World's most popular guitar. So competition is intense. With modern C & C mfng methods it is difficult to find a poorly made guitar these days. Pay the extra for a brand name if you like or pay way less for similar quality in a Strat copy. Your choice. Also You can have the practice amp for $40 if you need one. I have two Black classic Stratocasters so selling the extra one.
