I'll update this as time goes on, but for now my first impressions are that is a comfortable guitar that sounds incredible. It sounds like you think a strat should.
I live in a rural area so I'm not running out to my local G.C., trying out a guitar, and then buying it on line to save on taxes. I was buying this based on the strength of reviews I found. My main concern is what the "soft v" neck was and how it would fit my "smaller" hands (I'm a 5'8" 163# male). I have a tele with a "modern C" neck and I find it tiring to play if I'm doing alot of barre chords. This neck is very comfortable, fast, and easy to play. If you had concerns it was going to big - it's not. If you have big hands you might reconsider. I like a maple neck. It seems fast to me. The action is low so it's easy to fret and bend.
The body is the lighter weight alder. Comfortable to stand with for long sessions. The body is slightly heavier than the neck so it feels balanced. It comes with a fender strap. I bought the pewter (the exact same guitar Eric plays in the latest Crossroads Festival when he plays with Steve Winwood). I like the color as it's a subtle metallic flake pewter. No flaws in the paint, finish, or neck.
Now let's talk electronics. The noiseless pickups are perfect - no hum. Classic strat sounding. The onboard electronics are what sold me on this model. Check out the video on the TBX to see how that works. I especially like the "trebley" tone which sounds chimey. The midboost is great, instead of a pedal, to bring out the mids and lows and add a crunchy texture to your sound. Good for solos.
Is this guitar expensive? Yes! Is it worth it? So far, I think it is. Will I tire of it in a year? Maybe, we'll see.
Stay tuned...
UPDATE: The tremolo comes "blocked" with a piece of wood between the bridge and the body. Apparently this is what Eric does. No instructions come with this on how to set up the tremolo so I had to watch some videos on You Tube. The guides on Fender.com were not helpful as I didn't know the terminology. Not that setting it up is hard, but it does take a little time and tinkering around to get it just right. I set it up so I could push down on the arm, not floating.
Quality and service issues aside, this is an amazing guitar! It looks beautiful and sounds incredible. The TBX tone control sounds great. I do wish the battery was easier to get to, however. You shouldn't need to remove 6 screws just to replace the battery.
