Any opinions on this guitar?

I tried a couple of them out at MF a little over a year ago. i thought they were very nice guitars.

Only one person had a bad experience and it sounds like his was bad out of the box. still not sure though. Maybe the question I should be asking is what electric guitar have people found the most versatile in the $600 range...

if versatility is what you want you would be hard pressed to find a guitar more versitle than a Strat.
Maybe the Highway one HSS or a Jimmy Vaughn w/3 tex mex pups? at or a little over $600 i think.
Several of the folks here have Schecters that they are very happy with if you want to go for the HH setup.

What's an HH setup? and an HSS setup?

It refers to the pickups
S= single coil
h= humbucker

humbucker is two single coils brought together to reduce the electic hum induced in single coils. Humbuckers do genereate a slightly different sound which you may or may not like. It's generally described as 'warmer' and 'fatter'.

Thanks for the explanation. I guess I really need to listen to each to see which is right for me...

I often thought about buying a Fender Deluxe Player Strat. But then again I often thought about customizing a cheap strat to similar specifactions, for the experience.

It's a beautiful guitar, the nicest looking Strat, as far as I'm concered.

Most of the reviews that I have heard/read, have been great. A couple that were kind of shaudy, but then again, they can't all be great, there were always be a few bad ones.

Try it out! I would go with a H-S-S if you could, but that could be acheived through changing pickups/pickguard.
