I'm a big fan of the Sterling line. I like it as much or better than anything in Fender's Squier line. In some ways I like it better than Fender's Player Stratocaster (locking tuners, roasted maple neck, truss rod access), which is considerably more expensive.
Although it's made in Indonesia, my understanding is that the Sterling line goes through an additional QC check and setup in Music Man's California facility. (Please correct me in the comments if this is incorrect.)
One possible deal-breaker is that the neck has a 12" radius, which is found on some Stratocaster models (currently the Player Plus off the top of my head), but most Strats and Strat-like guitars use a smaller radius. Depending on what you like and what you're used to, the neck could feel big to you.
At $400, this is a guitar the beginners can hang onto for a long time. It can even serve intermediate and advanced players well as a beater guitar.

Just trying to figure out what the name of this particular make/model/line is so I can see if there's other colors/configurations. Why is this one different? https://www.guitarcente
