Great strat copy. S/S/H pickup configuration. Maple neck(?) with Rosewood fingerboard. Gotoh tuners-not sure if they are stock or the orinal machine heads were replaced with them but they hold pitch really well, hardly every have to tune. 24 frets which is nice.
Sound

It has a great funky tone. Love the sound of the neck pickup alone but mixing pickups sounds quite thin. Quite bright sounding. Don't really like the sound of the back pickup though. hoping to change it with a seymour duncan or dimarzio or something.

Really well setup when i bought it second-hand. The neck is really fast for a strat copy and very comfortable playing chords on but also great for lead.
Reliability/Durability

Drops it heaps of times and never even chipped the lacquer finish. Only got one small chip done by someone else by a screwdriver. Giving it a nine though because the pickup selector is getting a bit dodge, though it is about ten years old so what can you expect...
