SOUNDS
My two favorite wood combos are the Alder with Maple and the Alder with Maple and Ebony fret board. This fortunately has the first which is the best wood combination out there. The butterscotch paint job is an unusual one as I see this on Telecaster more than i do with Strats. Either way it is a good look with the black pick guard and black control knobs and pickups.
The tone from this guitar is very good. This guitar is one fine classic instrument. It can get a solid clean tone for some single coil action. This is an extremely versatile guitar with the 5 way selector and humbucking and single coil operation. You will still need to replace all of these pickups in this guitar as they are garbage. I suggest using Seymour Duncans as I have found good use of those pickups in all my guitars. They aren't boutique but they sound just as good in my opinion.
OVERALL OPINION
You get a wealth of versatility with this pickup setup. The added humbucker is a plus to this guitar and adds a great amount of depth tot he versatility. You can pick these guitars up new for right at around $850, which is even less than the three single hums. This is a great price for an American made Fender Stratocatser guitar.
