Was looking for a strat with a floyd when I found this thing on eBay. It's a squier that the dude had dropped a floyd in. By co-incidence, it turned out he was in my parent's town (interstate). I gave them the money, they picked it up for me, and I finally got it in my hands yesterday.
No idea what the pickups are in it (I should measure the resistance at some stage), but I don't think the HB is stock as it's a different colour to the singles, slightly. I was thinking about putting a reverse maple fretboard neck on it, but I'm digging the look so far. A change of strings to 9-46 and a quick action adjustment and I'm pretty happy. Might shim the neck slightly to get the action a mite lower. Hate the volume knob placement though, as the pot spins too easy when I knock it. I'll probably drop a tonezone or super distortion in (although I have some ibanez and peavey HBs around that measure around 15k) as I like hot pickups. It has a cool set of strap locks on it - they screw into a base unit and the strap can still rotate.
Overall, not a bad buy. Not too badly ripped off. Seems like a solid guitar.
