Good appearance, very similar to the Fender costing 3 times as much. Lack of pre-drilling gives a lot of options to a builder, though it did make me quite nervous when I started drilling.
The only thing keeping me from giving a 5 start review is the neck pocket.
On mine, the overspray of finish into the pocket meant that there was a laquer and paint build up which had to be scraped and sanded before drilling and installing the neck. Without it, the neck I had would have been crooked and been impossible to set up as there was a lump of finish at the edge, causing the neck to have a very high back tilt.
Fender neck pockets are either masked or routed after finishing. It would be better if you changed that.

What a deal. Bought this to replace a trashed body on a late 90s strat. The neck pocket route was 100 times better than the original. A bit of sanding to take off the over spray but it fit perfectly. Not too tight but snug. The route for the trem was a bit snug for the 90s bar. Had to sand 3 or 4mm for clearence on the bottom side for the trem to have enough clearance. The 6 screw trem screws also go through the bottom route. Its a bit deeper routing than the original fender body. Everything else seems to fit perfectly.
