Location: south east Michigan | To some of the guitar geeks out there this might be old news, but it's new to me.
.
Pulling the volume know "out" activates the tuner.

Here is a mini video. fretlight tuner
My first impression is that this is a pretty nice guitar for the money. Made in China. Fit and finish very acceptable. Very playable.
The real meat & potatoes is in the computer software. That will take a while to delve into.
Sidebar: Mrs. Slipkid does not think much of the color. I have been told that this guitar is not allowed on the main living room wall hangers. |

Nice enough colour for a guitar but I wouldn't want to swim in it. Pretty much. This is a photo of the beach at the Mission side of Carmel, California. It's my most favorite place in the world.
If you turn to the right from here, you can see the famed Pebble Beach golf course about two miles in the distance. |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | Surf Green is a great vintage color used on Fender's vintage and reissue models. Ice Blue and Olympic White are my preferences, and Dakota Red is up there, too. Fender's selection of color choices during the early years is a story in and of itself. The choice of pickguard color can also make a huge difference in overall appearance. For instance, on the Ice Blue models, the pickguard is actually light green. Olympic White models look best with a tortoise PG to my eye. The combinations are endless. Display it proudly, Brad! |

Location: Montana | Ok, I finally got this, the fretboard on this guitar actually lights up! In the videos I thought I was looking at software that merely showed a fretboard on screen with the fingering marked by lights. That's wild. |
