sound features
The sound is less jerky in the treble for a single PU, and instead has a nasal, clogged sound with a well-developed middle.
The PU does not have much power, or it will howl if distorted too much.
The dial type PU selector and the switch next to the PU can produce 7 different sounds (5 sounds like a normal strat, front + rear & all PUs), but as usual, I only use the rear PU.

I think it was about 30,000.

I bought it about 10 years ago just for the looks.
It is an improved version of the Dan Electro released in 2001 or so, and differs from the original in that it has a metal bridge and Gotoh pegs, which make tuning more stable! The tuning is much more stable.
I've only used it in the field a few times because it doesn't play or sound good, but I'm thinking of taking it out a bit from now on.
I love the overly flashy look.
