Having had this guitar for a year, I can give a good opinion about it.
I will start with the cons, since there are not many for me.
- cheap, loose feeling volume and tone knobs
- weird tremolo (much prefere the fender one)
- the price (biggest con)
Now for the good stuff, and it has many things going for it.
- The pickups are just the best strat pickups out there, no doubt in my mind!
- The neck is just right, feels like home and fits my hand perfectly (I have big hands)
The neck is just so perfect and so nice to play, especially for over thumb playing.
- Good locking tuners that work 100%
- This instrument feels like a vintage strat with high tech built in it!
Don't think you are getting a Fender copy, because you are not. This feels like a PRS strat, a different take on the single coil experience!
Even if the price is high, I will say it is worth it for the Mayer fan because you get the same instrument that he plays.
Another point to add is that almost all of my friends, all Fender strat lovers, say that this is the best guitar they have ever played.
After a few adjustments to the action, this guitar just plays perfectly.
Would also love to try the maple version!
