I bought it in December. Used at a Local music shop. Did not try or play it stock. It had strat like single coils and black strat type knobs. Bought it and a set of extra slinky strings. When I got home I immediately removed the strings and cut the pickguard for a set of Mini Humbuckers ( body was routed enough stock) and gold mounting rings, changed the knobs and added a Rhythm/Treble Selector Switch ring, parts I had laying around. Painted block markers over dots. Installed new strings. Intonation was close enough. Sounded good , but then changed Volume pot to a 500k linear taper that had better response . My band liked the sound at rehearsal. A little tri-flow on the nut and bridge. Stays in tune. I will be using it at Bar gig this Saturday (unless Covid-crap cancels it).
