Playability: The neck is a light "u" or "v" type of shape, is easy to grasp for large or small hands, and has the quick feel of sealed satin hard maple. Near the headstock, the back profile of the neck is a deeper “v”, and as you go towards the body, the neck softens to a “u.” The neck is a delight, similar to the un-tinted-neck $1200 Strat variety, and is not found on any currently-available non-US Strat that I have been able to find. The body is medium in weight - not too heavy, and not as light as some of the lightweight ash Strats. The JV Strat is much more comfortable than the '70s Strats I played as a kid. Tuning-wise, Fairly aggressive string bending did not pull it out of tune.

Sound: Rox your sox!!! Nice midrange, not too noisy, clean when clean, aggressive when played distorted, and sings the blues (especially through the Fender Hot Rod at the guitar shop) like an old pro! Far surpasses Standard and Highway 1 Strats in the sound department... The Jimmie Vaughan Strat is set up with .one volume knob and two tone knobs (neck to bridge if viewed from the player’s side of the guitar).

Value: This is a $999 guitar in value (not 'retail', 'street'). Period. The sound, quality of make, and appointments are top-notch and represent the Mexican Strat pinnacle. (NOTE: I've not had the pleasure of trying out the new 60th Anniversary Strat yet. I suspect it will be a really nice alternative to the Standard. {new window} ) If you can afford the JV Strat, go for it. You'd have to step up to American Deluxe or Custom Shop to get a more satisfying instrument.

Features: Nearly every feature makes this a 'working musician's Strat'. The pickups: great; the vintage tuners: just fine; the neck: good for hours at a time;, the trem, bridge, and weight: just fine; the paint finish: flawless. The gig bag is a nice touch (although I have a Freedom hard shell case for this wonderful instrument). The Schaller-strap-lock-compatible strap buttons are a really nice feature. I’ve got a nice strap that is set up for Schallers, and I can use it on this Strat without installing new buttons. The neck plate is the four-screw variety and does not have micro-tilt.
