Feature:
I did upgrade to the 5 way pickup selector and it does allow the guitar to be more versatile and get those more modern tones you're looking for and still stay in that vintage frame.

Quality:
It's Fender Custom Shop...it better be nothing less than perfect.

Value:
Fender committed suicide when you shot up their prices but what can we do about it? Nothing...

Desirability:
It was setup just fine and the "sex appeal", that comes from the player and not from two pieces of wood.

Sound:
The guitar is really a work of perfection. I have played a very wide variety of Fender guitars and this by far is the cleanest, purest, true vintage sound that I have heard. I do own an original 1962 Stratocater and it gets pretty damn close.

Ease of Use:
It's really not hard to get the tones that everyone is looking for now a days. I know that tone comes from the person but this guitar adds a great deal of sound out of a great amp.

Support:
Haven't needed to use it but I'm sure that Fender would be on hand and foot for me since I paid a whopping 3700.00 for it.

Overall:
I'm going to keep this axe cause it suites me well.
