Nice! I've got 047 (Classic Virtuoso) and wanted to mention that Mike (RIP since 12/18) was a great luthier who, before opening his own shop, ran Ibanez's custom shop that handled their retained artists' needs, among other duties. These are usually customer-specced guitars, so some of the below may be different from this example.

That's a roasted maple neck (unfinished or oiled/waxed) that Mike hand-carved - no CNC. Those neck screws don't go into the wood - there are brass receivers set into the neck for the firmest connection possible, with the bonus of no wood wear. Hardly anybody bothers to do that.

No string trees due to the headstock angle, perfect fret work, hand-carved body (likely Swamp Ash), too. Electronics? That's likely a set of Mike's go-to Amaltifano vintage strat pickups - $300/set, usually matched to 300 ohm CTS pots. Usually Hipshot locking tuners and Wilkinson/Gotoh bridge/trem. Of course, the original finish will be impeccable.

If you're looking for a very high quality boutique builder strat, this is a very fine guitar to consider, and the seller's price appears in line, as well.
