The school department I work in recently started an after school guitar program.  This program is being offered to all students from grades 5 through 12.  While I'm just the "computer guy" there, I was still quite eager to get invovled.  One of the first things I offered to do was to take home, and test out, the recently dontated guitars.  I was pretty pumped when the music teacher broke this axe out as I had never see one before. 

This is a Silver Fender Showmaster Cetlic H guitar.  Don't be fooled by it's single humbucker and volume knob.  This guitar plays and sounds pretty decent.  The action was far better than the first guitar I played as a young lad.  As you might expect you can't get a variety of tones out of this beauty on it's own.  This is quite noticable when playing with a clean tone, but the distored hummer cranks!

This may not be a U.S.A.Fender Stratocaster, but it still playes really well and has a heavy sounds that some younger generation players may be looking for.  There is one of these selling for $350 on eBay right now.  While this is not something I would purchase for $350, I would say it is worth the money if you're looking for a super light, unique guitar, with killer action.
