    That neck, is it quite fat and chunky?

    I would describe the neck as "comfortable".
    It's neither fat nor chunky, but it's a little bigger than the "modern C".
    It just feels good, if that makes any sense. I have three rehearsals (with different bands) this week, plus a gig on Friday, and so far I am very happy with the guitar.
    I've heard others say that the older version of the JB model had a baseball bat neck. I'd love to get my hands on one of those.
    I like me some chunk.
    Oh...forgot to mention; the guitar itself feels substantial. It weighs about 9lbs. I picked out the heaviest one. I think the heft adds to the tone, for sure.

    Cool and congrats!

    How "noiseless" are the pickups? Any impact on tone?
    Nothing is anything until it is written. After that, it's everything.

    No "buzz", "hum" or other interference in positions 1 through 5. I LOVE that idea.
    They are dual coil ceramics. They coils are stacked. So, the tone can approach...say....perhaps a lower output humbucker (to my ears), without jeopardizing the classic Strat tones you know and love.

    Absolutely! Having a ball with it. The only things I don't use it for are a couple of songs in drop-D tuning. It messes up the tension with a floating trem.
    I always bring a backup guitar anyway, so no sweat.
