Writer,
I got it during the recent SL sales, it's should be in the mid 2k-3k range. Dunno how to describe the neck but it's like a thick C shape, almost like the 52 tele neck but with a flatter 9.5" radius, satin finished, only the headstock are lacquered. And i like the (to me) suspiciously bigger than usual medium jumbo frets.
there's alot of mojo in this strat over my deluxe, not too sure about the Edwards tho.
