All rounder, good value for money
This is a 1989 Korean HM (heavy metal) strat, bought it second hand for about € 150. The neck is really good, feels better even than my USA Strat. Bridge humbucker is what makes is special compared to standard strat, great sound though I would not necessarily purchase it if you are really into HM (which I am not). Jack plug was broken shortly after I bought it, but got it fixed cheaply. Don't expect rare wood for the body, is probably some sort of ply wood, but light weight and the sound is better than one might expect. A welcome addition to my collection with a character of its own.
