Bought it twice!
Bought a JR Strato years ago an sold it because of GAS. Got myself another one, simply because it's a very good live guitar. I play a lot of shows, from smaller venues to bigger festivals and this Fender never let me down. Heavy guitar. Built rock solid. Just one knob. Excellent.

As a live guitar this is well built and can take the stress of constant live shows and still sounds fantastic

A bit expensive, but still great
Here are my short remarks:
* I bought this Jim Root Stratocaster but I also have the Harley Benton HH 20 mock-up which visually look very similar. In real life they are completely different. The Jim Root guitar is a lot heavier (literally and figuratively - it must be at least 500g heavier), its neck is a lot thinner/faster, and while played acoustically it does not sound like plastic. What I find interesting is that the guitar absorbs the string vibrations very easily (it must be the mahogany body) since it is very quiet when played acoustically.
* My copy of this particular Jim Root stratocaster has one visual flaw though - the maple neck has one small dark brown branch spot on it which makes it look a bit cheapish, I rarely see branch spots on even on the Squiers;
* I almost bought this guitar when it was around 1500 euros, but missed out by a day. I think the 1500 euros is a fairer price.

The toughest Strato
If you're looking for a no-compromise metal Strato, don't look no further!
Playability at the max, and tones, not only heavy.
No tremolo needed!
Black and beauty!
