The satin neck and push/pull remind me of the pro ii I bought (from sweetwater and returned because it had major issues). Was gonna buy a pro ii but the price kept going up. Saw this and it seemed like a decent option. The white has a kinda pearl irradesance thing happening which I really like. The rounded fingerboard edges are great (not as smoothly rounded as thd pro ii... but that's a good thing for me because vibrato on the high e of the pro ii would sometimes lead to the string going off the board. Don't have to be as careful with this one).Noiseless pickups are nice. Can use the 1,3,5 positions without my noise suppression pedal.Overall all I can really say is... it's a strat. I do not see any quality difference between this and the US pro ii. So I'm very happy. Everything works right, feels right and plays right. And I love the pearl Olympic white. Mine arrived well packed with the box from fender inside the zZounds box.

I got the dusk color with moon glow pickguard. It looks to be the moon dotted by craters against a dusk night sky. Very cool if you think about it. From the neck down, starting with the tuners: this guitar remains in tune well. Uncommonly well. The neck and fretboard feels comfortable while the frets are slightly higher and less smooth than the american pro. You won't notice the noiseless pickup setup because they are noiseless. Pun intended. Great bright, snappy strat crackle and sparkle. Lastly, the tone and volume controls give you great response while coil tapping adds to this already stellar instrument.
