Amazing guitar!

Very stable FR, overal sound is pleasant, agressive with very tight rhythm sound and classic stratocaster alike clicky sounds which im very fond of. I could not be more happy, no complaints, and maple top veneer is relaxing looking and has that 80s charm. Highly recommended if you find one since they are out of production.
