I use this plate on a squier maintenat since 3 months and I must say it has revolutionized my guitar and my playing.
Indeed, these microphones need a right hand bcp more precise and present.
I wanted a new guitar may eventually buy more mics laying (total € 350) a was the wisest because I liked the handle strat.
The pickups are really great simple bass are present. When coupled with the double midle is my favorite position, a very special grain. While only 85 does not require that the distortion in a screaming riff leave alone. to clean it sounds a little dry, that's why I prefer the 4 position.
With experience, I would do cetain that choice.
