Just bought a Malmsteen Strat! Any advice?

So, I just decided to take a shot at playing a scalloped board...Thought this would be the best way to go. I'm pretty sure she's real and original...has the SD stacked pups...Anyone own one...have any advice or thoughts about the pups or setup?

What do you like dislike...what could be better? Thanks

Here is a nice 61 Duo sonic in a sweet icy mettalic green finish. Nice linear checking throughout...I purchased this guitar on reverb as is. It was already refinished..Needed some help..Cracked nut, tone pot was dead, frets needed a leveling. Once that was all done I found another south polarity BB pup around 6k,and swapped it out with the north pup in the guitar, still in the case...now in the middle position you get the pups in series like a Strat...I got the guitar for a song..put aged compensating brass saddles, and tuners on her...slab board and original frets sound amazing! Plays so well and really has an awesome tone..If you dont have big hands they are fun entry level pre CBS guitars!
