"Business as usual"
My old strat started to wear out, so I decided to buy another one.
Unfortunately it's not the same as the previous serie; it's have a thicker neck (but it's semi-gloss, which is a cool thing) and a little bit different shaped body (I don't know how, but it have a total different feel). The AlNiCo pickups are a little weak for me (I prefer the ceramic ones...), so I changed them to a Lace Sensor Gold set.
But all in all, of course, it's a Fender on it's own - as usual.

Excellent service from Thomann, mediocre setup from Fender
The guitar itself is beautiful and has great sound, but be prepared to set up your axe by a competent technician. Out-of-the-box it had serious problems with intonation and string buzzing. It was a dissappointment for me considering the reputation of Fender.
Fortunately I've found an expert and I got some useful advice via e-mail from Thomann as well. Thumbs up for them, thanks.

My first Fender
Alright overall. Some fret edges are sharp, goes out of tune in double bends (perhaps due to floating bridge).
