Okay, so after a month and-a-half of buying and returning a CP 60s Strat, exchanging a 2004 American Strat for a Mexican Strat and a Pro Junior amp, then returning that set up yesterday, I believe that I have found the one.
She is Daphne, a 1996 American Standard in Daphne Blue with a rosewood fretboard. I apologize for the bad pictures; they were taken with my cell phone camera. I will get better pictures later, but I just had to share this with you.
If anyone has the specs for 1996, I would be interested in knowing what they are.
Thanks,
Jim
Nice! congrats on the new addition to your family,

Nice! 8) 8) 8) 8)
I've always liked that color with a rosewood board.
Sorry, I don't have the specs for that year....
It looks like it has a single ply pick guard....?
(Maybe it's just the picture quality)
It does have a modern bolt pattern in it - not a 50's style.
Just seems odd that it would have a single ply guard (Which I like better myself).
Are the pole pieces flat or staggered????
(Just wondering if they had switched back to staggered by then?)

Glad you didn't settle and ended up getting an axe you love. Play her hard!

Nice vintage look. And if I remember correctly, isn't Daphne now owned by someone who holds a world record? Hope she sounds as good as she looks - cool and elegant.
:D :D :D

Thanks everyone! I have tried to respond several times from home, but something must be wrong with my laptop, affectionately known as "craptop."
Vic, yeah she is now owned by a world record holder, but I am trying not to intimidate her with that. I don't want to put any pressure on her.
Anyway, thanks again to everyone for the kind words. I am working on getting better pictures of her, and my other gear. Hope to have it up soon.
Jim
