See bellow.
UTILIZATION
Good neck, good sound.
I locked the bridge because I don't use the tremolo.
SOUNDS
It has that vintage Strat character that I love, with 5 really different sounds depending on the switch...
It sounds awesome with my Peavey tube amp and a clean booster or a heavy overdrive or a deep blue chorus!
Some compression wouldn't hurt if you want to record through a console.
Its weakest point is the output level of the bridge pickup. That's the reason I use a booster. I could also upgrade to a noiseless or humbucker but I would lose the vintage character.
Great to play blues, jazz and rock.
OVERALL OPINION
I own it since 1992 and I don't want to part from it.
Would I buy it again? Of course, but it's no longer available...
