Shredding machine with maximum access

This is a "superstrat to the max"... lightning speed neck, best bolt-on junction (Stephens Extended Cutaway), awesome action, screaming pickups, versatile Floyd trem. Need I say more? Oh, watch Nuno Bettencourt playing one! :-D

is it a 90s one? the old ones were the sweetest

Actually, mine is a 2006 or 2007... a very balanced instrument, IMHO. The pre-2000 models have an aura of their own, don't they? Especially the Davies ones... ;-)
