Awesome strat. It sounds great, it plays great and it just looks great.
If you are into metal and you like the look and feel of a strat. Then this is the strat to buy. The only minus, is that my strat needed some setup before it played great. In fact my strat played aweful when i got it and had some issues with noise bleed from the bridge humbucker when the volume was off etc etc. Sent it back to thomann and they sorted it out, free of charge. Today its one of my favourite guitars. Dont regret buying it whatsoever.
