Wanted one for years, but always ended up with something else Fender-esque. Finally bought one, and never looked back (even when I had to sell it - bought a Faker or three).
Finally managed to pick up another one last year, and loving it (as well as the walnut Faker in the pic).
Some love them, most hate them, think Marmite or Harley Davidson.
My advice: definitely "try before you buy", and consider adapting your technique to suit it (i.e. play between the pickups).
