As an A-level design student, my course requires that I carry out a study of an existing product. I have chosen to study the design and manufacture of the Fender Stratocaster guitar.

I would be grateful if anyone could answer the questionnaire below.

1. Do you consider the Fender Stratocaster as a classic guitar design? (Yes/No)

2. If you answered yes to question 1, why do you consider the Fender Stratocaster as a classic design?

3. Do you own/play a Fender Stratocaster? (Yes/No)

4. What model Stratocaster do you own/play?

5. What made you decide to purchase a Fender Stratocaster, Fenders reputation, seeing other guitarists play Stratocasters, because you consider the Stratocaster as a classic guitar, etc?

6. What comments would you like to make about its, playability (how easy and comfortable is it to play), looks/finish (what do you think of its overall look and the finish applied), reliability (if you think it is reliable or have you noticed any design/manufacture faults), set-up (did its factory set-up satisfy your needs)?

Thank you for your time.
