Thanks, Robert - it plays so nicely, and sounds great with the Joyo pedal - as do all of my guitars and the amp! First pedal I've found that really does so much to shape the sound in ways that fit my taste. Playing with the 'voice' pot and the 'gain' just gives a wealth of tonal variation.

I really like the neck on this strat, very sleek and comfortable, satin finish which I like better than the gloss. The body resonates nicely so it feels lively unplugged. As I noted, it has a warm-ish strat tone, which I like.There is an internal vibration with B and B flat notes anywhere on the neck that you can hear/feel unplugged, which seems to be connected to the middle pickup (if I press on it the vibration stops) - I'll take off the pickguard at some point to see if there is something loose in there. All in all, it feels like a gift that fell in my lap!
