It is, but keep in mind, that although its modern design and pro features, this is not a Super strat, and cannot become by changing eg. the bridge pickup with a Super distortion. Believe me, I tried. This is a traditional feeling and sounding Strat, with a neck from another world. The general feel of the instrument is as one that worths a couple of thousands euros. Looks are stunning! Just look elsewhere for your dinky/soloist/RG shredding experience!
