Congrats. I have an HSS elite I am really happy to be the owner. It came with terrible factory setup though, a luthier had to meddle with the nut and it came to life, no sustain at all initially. I pretty much use it for a superstrat, because the neck is facilitating, but most importantly the guitar stays in tune with heavy trem use. Actually it did before I slightly damaged bridge plate, but it is still perfectly good for downward tremming. Great to have that in a guitar without a Floyd, it keeps all the powerful tone of a traditional strat which a Floyd would weaken I believe. One reservation I have is a little too much twang and zing to the sound, if I am not mistaken in my diagnosis. I am sayin this comparing to a 90s US strat. I would make changes if I knew where that came from, because it makes for a harsh distortion tone. I also have some misgivings about somewhat unfocused distortion sound on the lower strings . Still searching for the best humbucker for it actually. But then I am very happy to have it despite these points, because it is so versatile and plays great. I agree N4s sound really good for what they are. Enjoy yours, and please let people hear your observations further down the road.
