What have they done to it that could possibly affect playability? Tinted the neck? The strat saddles? As I said before, there's no reason to think it wouldn't be a fine guitar, but there aren't any improvements over the last version that are worth talking about. If these features appeal to someone, then by all means they should buy one. But calling this a major revision that ihere mproves the guitar is pure bull, IMHO. There simply aren't any "improvements" that would motivate me to even play one.

Unless someone can show me where Fender details what they have done to change the neck other than the finish, I have to assume it's the exact same neck with a (more?) polished fretboard. If that's an improvement, then enjoy.
