They are unforgiving Brandon , there is nowhere to hide. Just crisp and clear sounding the word would be Clarity. There seems to be some issues with the prewired pickguard because the push/pull does zero. Had to hack the pickgaurd some to get it under the 22 fret neck , forced it at first but if you have to remove it even once it should fit correctly. For a few hours of insane work it is pretty nice so far , ten million times better then it was originally as the stock Squier CV POS. Weird as hell playing a Strat that doesn't have 24 frets after 20 some odd years, so much better with that 22nd too can get those E's and F's that were almost impossible to get with 21. Lining up the neck and installing the inserts was pretty tough and stressful but it turned out perfect , zero room for error. Had the other Tusq XL string tree leftover from the Tele so that was just nice.Right in the vicinity of 1200 bucks finished not counting the free labor , can't add that is a guesstimate. Get the Master Luthier over here to tell me what I did wrong one of these days. Still needs some tweaking and trouble shooting. They say ignorance is bliss and I am damn happy.
