Fender: More new stuff @ Swee Lee

The Koa Strat is one of the best eastern crafted Fenders (Korea) in the market namely due to the body wood- if you are after that darker, lower midrange, akin to what an overwound single coil would churn out & nothing excessive in the top end (but Fender's signature tone remains to be their defined top end, despite the 'restrained' tag), the Koa is one to consider.

On the contrary, the Roadhouse Strat offers you the sizzle courtesy of a trio of Texas Special single coils. I've put them through very high gain/ drive settings (amp in use: Peavey Bandit + the drive booster in maximum overkill!) & the twang remains prominent, so if you are into this kinda tone, the Roudhouse rocks.
