Really durable, i can depend on it a lot. If i played live on stage i'd have a better guitar but this is great for practice just not that loud.
But this guitar is like rock hard.

For $70 this is a heck of a guitar, good for a fun play around or a practice guitar. The thing i love about this guitar is that soft quite sound it has its great for blues and soft rock. If i lost this guitar or it got stolen i would get it again because its really cheap but well worth it to have a play around guitar.
Hope you found my review helpful.

(Previous reviewer says near enuff and is right.)
Neck is what sold me on this axe as being very Fender Strat, Tele & Peavey T-60, Reactor feel as in solid, great frets and ease of play.

Pickups basically decent but not killer and very noisy on selecting Neck, Middle, Bridge alone (but mix of two pups at the time very quiet). Tested through a Marshall amp on clean and overdriven.

Action was superbly low, no fret buzz anywhere. Intonation near prefect. And get this -- that's how I found it of all places, hanging with other guitar-shaped things in a pawn shop!
Body work solid, construction good, finish basic black, one ply pickguard, controls all work. Nuthin' fancy here folks.

I only picked this up as I was curious WTH a Behringer Strat sounded like and how it played and for $70 it was worth having as a bang around axe with trem too.
I just snapped up a nice loaded Tex-Mex pickguard off-da-eBay today with an extra pup settings mod to allow 7 extra tones to pop in this sucker to crank it up a notch.
I may even sand the body down to do a natural finish.
So for those of you wanting a better than Squier, less expensive than Fender Strat USA / MIM Strat clone, this ain't too shabby. I do recommend updating the pups though as the stock are -- well run-of-the-mill . . .

The finish on this guitar is similiar to the Fender MIM Stratocasters and the neck is a fast action soft "C" profile. This guitar has three single coil pickups. The neck is maple, with a maple fretboard and 22 medium jumbo frets. The body is identical to a Stratocaster with 5-position switch, volume, and dual tone controls. For the price, this 2005 guitar sounds very good. I sincerely believe that if it said Fender on it, it would sell for $400 easily.

I play a wide variety of rock and blues and these single coils really sound good for that and probably anything. The tremelo keeps the guitar in tune well, even with moderate trem use. I play this through a Blues Jr and a Fender Princeton. The thing I LOVE mostly is the fast action neck. It's smooth as can be and the pickups sound great in all five position.

I bought this from Guitar Center and they set it up very well. I lowered the pickups a little and like to make the amp work a bit harder which results in a better tone. The neck joint is tight and solid and the paint is drop-dead gorgeous.

I've been using this for a backup to my Telecaster and I really like the sounds from this guitar. I'll bet many would think it was a Fender if they didn't look at the logo on the headstock. Everything is still very solid and I would even use this at a gig without a backup if I needed to.

I've only called customer service once and they were very helpful in giving me the info I was looking for. The warranty is 5 years. I don't think that I'll have to use it, but you never know.

I've been playing for 21 years and have a Fender Telecaster and an Epiphone Dot. This guitar gives me that option for the Strat sound with whammy/trem use that I didn't have. I love how this guitar stays in tune without locking tuners while using the trem bar. This is much better quality than the Squiers, and about on par with the Mexican made Fender Standard Stratocasters. This guitar has 22 frets though, so more room to get "up there" on your solos. I love it and I'd probably replace it if it was stolen. Best bang-for-the-buck in a Strat-style guitar I've ever seen for this price !
