I'm looking to upgrade my G&L Legacy with a new pickup combo. I'm thinking about getting a new pickguard and installing two GFS Nickel Minibuckers and SD Vintage Stack between them. Maybe three Minibuckers... yet me see what you've got.

Not sure this really qualifies as a Super Strat, although it looks like a great custom shop piece.

To me there's a difference between a fat Strat (a strat with a humbucker) and a superstrat, which usually don't have pickguards and feature some sort of locking tremolo system.

It's the most spectacular sounding strat I've ever heard! Scary good!

I don't doubt that for one minute! Is the fretboard scalloped, or just "relic-ed"?

I have a bunch of super Strat type guitars, but this one is my go-to. A Neurotec, MIJ hand built by Fernandes, only around a dozen made in all, it was a high end experiment I understand. Featherweight swamp ash body, maple neck with Pau Ferro fingerboard with 6105's. Locking tuners/Gotoh 2 point bridge. I have no idea about who made the pickups, but the single coils are tappable for low/high gain and sound pretty good.
