Traded this and the PRS Santana SE today for my Marshall DSL100H.

Believe it's not a bad deal, considering the PG guitar is killer, not very keen on the PRS, it did not click well with me so far, so that is going to go.

Here's a little sound byte of it with my Mesa Mark V.

I quite like this design.

How does it feel compared to a strat?
I'm wondering if it's mikes away.
Beside the hard bridge and mahogany body, they have a lot in common. What is the scale length?

The scale length is 24.75"...The set neck construction definitely helps in sustain and has a lot of character.
I find my strat neck a tad too thin, this guitar on the other hand has a deep D, which is very full in my hands, and for some reason gives me a ton of control over what i play, the depth in the frets also makes note bending very easy, and surprisingly fast than what I thought it would ever be.

The pickups are real gems i must say, DiMarzio Injectors in the neck and bridge position and Area 57 in the middle, also it does not sound thin and has its own character.

In short, this is doing all that the strat does and more....

That's a cool guitar, but you traded a PRS and a Marshall for it? Not sure it's a good deal, but also not sure I understand what you traded.
