NGD: 5150 Series Standard Stealth
It's the guitar I didn't know I wanted until I played it. I never really gave them much thought. After all, it's basically a strat with two humbuckers, which Charvel has been making a version of for years now.
-However-
After I pulled it off the wall and played it, it immediately felt comfortable to me, like an old broken in pair of shoes. I have been playing the Frankie quite a bit since I got it, and although it doesn't quite feel as good as that one, it is very close.
I really thought it sounded good and resonant unplugged, so I had to plug it in, and I was very happy that I did. It doesn't sound like the Frankie on the bridge pickup. Can't quite put my finger on it yet, but it's just a bit different. Maybe it's the Ebony fingerboard, or the Volume pot being wired to a tone pot, but it's different enough to notice. I also like the options of a neck humbucker and the combination of the two humbuckers that I don't get in my Frankie.
Anyway, I decided that I didn't need my Player's Series Tele anymore, and traded her in for the Stealth.
I will still play my Partscaster Strat, my Frankie, and my Homebrew Les Paul, but I can easily see this guitar becoming my "go-to" that I will be playing the most. It's just a comfortable guitar to play, sounds great, and it's a workhorse. Glad I decided to pull it off the wall on a whim. I was not even looking for anything, but it just felt too good to pass on."Having an opinion that people disagree with doesn't make you a Douche, arguing with the people who disagree with your opinion and calling them stupid does!" -Me.

Awesome...I grabbed a matte year year old model recently and feel the same; just so comfortable to play and sounds great! I got a great deal on it being a year old and discontinued color (green is my favorite color) plus I liked have the selector switch on the bottom although it is sweet yours has the kill switch.
Congrats man; enjoy!!!
It's 5150 time!

Mine does have a kill switch. I would have rather had one without the kill switch, but it doesn’t bother me to have it. I just see it as a gimmicky kind of feature that isn’t particularly useful to me, but it’s there if I ever want to use it
