I bought it for the extra sound variety compared to a regular SSS strat, all-maple neck with 70s head and black&maple esthetics.
Soundwise, neck and middle pickups are hotter and darker-sounding than on 50s/60s style Strats, to better match the bridge humbucker output. They are more bassy and work well with distortion. If you play with the tone controls, you can get a very well-pronounced out-of-phase quack in the in-between positions, almost like a wah. Yet, it's still a Strat, the glassy cleans are there when you need them, the maple fretboard gives you that extra little bit of treble clarity.
Qualitywise - no complaints, esp. considering the price.
If you want an all-maple neck 70s-style Strat with an oversized headstock and HSS pickup configuration, this is a good pick.
