The quality of this instrument is amazing: the frets are level, setup was good - either done by Musix staff or was like this out of the box. The neck is amazing. The rosewood fretboard is great. I could not get along with a maple neck in modern C shape, this neck feels sublime. The pups are not as bright, but I'm ok with that - I like the sound to be a bit darker than the standard strat pups sound. I went for this guitar over the Pro II because of the neck feel and the medium jumbo frets. I could live with the modern C on the Pro II, but I did not like the feel of the narrow tall frets. This guitar has it all. Is it worth 3 times the cost of a Fender Player MIM Strat? It is to me. And it's definitely worth the additional 150 or so CHF over the Pro II.
