Customer Review Summary
The Fender Tom Morello Strat FR RW BLK is a stunning guitar that truly impresses with its craftsmanship and design. The option to customise with the Soul Power sticker adds a unique touch, and the application process is straightforward thanks to the included template.
The sound versatility is remarkable; the two Noiseless pickups deliver a beautifully balanced clean tone, while the Seymour Duncan humbucker roars under high gain or overdrive settings. The Floyd Rose tremolo system functions flawlessly and complements the guitar’s aesthetics perfectly. Additionally, the killswitch, a three-way switch, works exceptionally well for playing Rage Against the Machine songs.
While the guitar is largely exceptional, there are minor drawbacks. Some users have noted that the fret ends could be better finished, which may be bothersome for those who frequently play with their thumb over the low E string. However, the overall sound and appearance meet expectations, making it a worthwhile investment.
One of the standout features is the guitar’s ability to stay in tune, even with significant temperature changes. This is a huge plus for musicians seeking reliability. Although some users found the Floyd Rose a bit cumbersome for tuning and string changes, most agree that it performs admirably. Customisation options, such as changing the pickguard, can further enhance the guitar’s appearance.
In conclusion, the Fender Tom Morello Strat FR RW BLK is a beautiful instrument that offers an expansive sound spectrum and solid performance. It is definitely a purchase I would recommend!
