My first Strat-style guitar – what I immediately liked: the overall single-coil sound, excellent playability, weight, and responsiveness. However, I haven't yet been able to test it under loud volume/stage conditions regarding microphone feedback, etc. The only downside, in my opinion, is the P-U (pickup) in the middle position, but that might be due to my specific expectations of how it should sound…
