Feature:
Love the speedloader, but you have to spend some time to set it up correctly.

Quality:
Beautiful finish...it draws alot of attention.

Value:
I bought this as a pre-serial number floor model...hence, the low price. A little expensive if I had to buy it regular retail. You could probably retrofit a good USA Strat with the speedloader and upgrade the pickups for a little less, but I guess it wouldn't be a Floyd Rose guitar then. Strings are very expensive! +$10 per set.

Sound:
Great pickups. They react really well to the volume knob. They go from nice a clean to extreme overdrive, especially on a tube amp.

Support:
Excellent! Very quick with responses to email

Overall:
I love my FR Model 5. I'm not too excited about the cost of a case of strings, but I am hoping that I will get the value out of not having to spend 15 mins to change a string.
