This guitar is a strat-style guitar. Mine is left-handed. It has all the usual strat features, like 5-way pickup selector, 1 volume and 2 tone controls. Not so keen on the pickups though, not a great sound. I will probably change these soon, to some which are better. Otherwise, some great features.
Sound

As i have already said, not a great sound. Ideal if, like me, this is your first guitar, but i would recommend getting a better guitar for regular gigging. There is a constant humming, but a noise reducer pedal might fix this. For the price, i would not expect anything more for the price.

Not much to say against it here, really. Only problem i have had was when i cross-threaded the whammy-bar, but im sure that can happen with any guitar. Tuning pegs are not brilliant, but i can very easily cope with that.
Reliability/Durability

I have never had any major problems with this guitar. I use this occasionally for gigging, without a backup, although if i could afford a better guitar i would probably use that instead, purely for the sound. If you are a new guitarist who will only be gigging occasionally, this is perfect.

Never had to deal with them, guitar has never gone wrong.

Perfect starter guitar, and excellent for the price. I would really recommend this guitar if you are looking for something in this price range, but you get what you pay for. It is now about 3 (i think) years old and i still use it for gigs.
