Comments
Is there one near you in a shop that you can try? I realise individual guitars can vary, but at least that would give you a feel for the model. I hope I don't sound like a dick (and I'm sure others will happily point out if I do ) but for a £185 guitar I'm probably not going to bother driving 50% of the way to North Wales for a meetup and tryout session. If you want to pop down to sunny Wokingham and try it here you are more than welcome, but I think the petrol money would end up adding a fair chunk to the price for you.
Cheap strats pop up constantly in the forum classifieds - so for 'try before you buy' (which is very sensible), you might want to wait until something comes up for sale that is closer to you.
