Picked this up Saturday morning, used it for a gig that same night, and it was AWESOME. Neck single coil tone through the AC mode of my Egnater Tweaker was simply spectacular, and the cleaner tones ended up being a really good tonal option for the weirdly structured wedding in which we at various times found ourselves playing to people sitting at their tables clapping politely, then a random bunch of people dancing right at the back of the hall, and then to the far side of the stage, and then about 6 people in front of us
But that's another story...What we have here is a Fender "Hot Rod Reissue" Strat, made in Japan somewhere between 1990-1995, haven't checked the serial just yet. Lots of cool stuff like an original FR, TBX control, push/pull split for the 'bucker (which by all accounts is either a Dimarzio PAF, PAF Pro or Super 3, haven't quite figured out which yet), contoured neck heel and compound radius fretboard. Sounds great and plays fabulously, the neck is pretty damn thin which is a small negative for me, but otherwise all awesome, all day!
