I’ve always wanted a Fender guitar since I started playing the guitar and finally got it. 

Fender was an iconic brand of guitar to me when I started playing guitar, I didn’t know any of brand but Fender and Gibson. Now I know many guitar brands but I chose it because it just sounds and feels good. Also, I hadn’t had any guitar which has single coil pickups. Personally, I think single coil guitar and humbucker guitar are totally different things, output power, dynamics, noise etc, and that makes me want to try different amps and effects pedals. Single coil guitar is new to me, even though I’ve been playing guitar for a really long time. 

 

When I tried this guitar at a music store, I felt it’s well-balanced guitar in many ways, the sound, playability, and prices. It seems the pickup on this guitar is new and was made for this series, it’s called “V-mod pickup” and it has different magnets between higher strings side and lower side. 

And these frets on this guitar are “narrow tall fret”, it’s quite smooth to bend strings. 

 

I still don’t know all the features and potential of this guitar yet, but I’m excited to try many different effects or amp’s with this one. I probably will write about how it goes here.
