Yes

2. If you answered yes to question 1, why do you consider the Fender Stratocaster as a classic design? The Fender strat came out back in the day and has been a popular instrument since the sixties...that is why.

3. Do you own/play a Fender Stratocaster?
Yes and Yes

4. What model Stratocaster do you own/play?
I play a Squier by Fender Strat

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? I'd seen it a lot before, but I made up my mind when I went to Marshall Music in East Lansing, Michigan and played it.

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)? The strat is one of the most well-balanced and comfortable guitars to play. As well as being a nice looking guitar. It also has a great tone. The only problems I had were some problems with the truss and I wanted a chunkier sound, both of which I took care of.
