Cons:

- Selector switch sometimes cuts the sound if you hit it.
- As usuall, the input nut comes loose ever so often.

This is guitar is just awsome. The finish is smooth and mind blowing. The fret inlay is beautiful, and still provides the side dots. The frets proide smooth, easy bending. It came stock with S&D's and sounds tremendous. When splitting the coils, the sound is lowered but puts out a srtat like tone (sounds like you have two singles selected on a strat.) The neck and middle pickup selections are a little bassy for me while I play with a dirty sound, but sounds very good when playing clean. Guitar is more than suitable for blues playing styles. When hit, the selector switch sometimes cuts the sound, but rarely do I get close enough to hit it while playing.

This is overall a really good guitar, it's a great transaction from a crappy strat copy.
