Well I got this baby last night:

It has the maple neck and the S-1 swith for the Humbucks. Wow the sounds I was pulling from this thing. Very Very cool.

I don't know what's more exciting, the fact that I'm a proud new owner of an Amercian Strat or proud of my Horse trading skills. ( I traded in my LTD F-100 and my Kustom DX16 on the deal). Which knocked the asking price down by half.

Anyhoo Here's a fun lil pic

Thanks for you input the other day. I can't wait for this weekend.

YEAH! Not much in the world prettier than a good strat!

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming -- "WOW--What a Ride!"

Yeah and it really is. On first glimpse I'd say Hmm ok Silver, but taking a second look, its actually an awesome color up close. It seems to have some depth to it.

I'm thinking of getting a white pearloid pick guard for it.

Oh yeah I'll get some Pics when I get the pick guard on their. It should come next week. I think the white pearloid will look cool.

Why this weekend? Well I'm mostly busy the next few evenings, so I won't be able to get some real TIME with her till then. I did get a about an hour and half last night.. whoa this thing plays so fast.

I don't know if its the Guitar or I'm just just getting better. Its probably a bit of both. I've been working on Floyd's Brain Damage a lot and the chords just seems to flow together real nice.

Congratulations on the new Strat. She's a keeper. 8)

I like those colors. I even like the black pickguard. I've been thinking of replacing the white pickguard and dials on my blue Strat with black.

Have lots of fun. The American Strat is a great guitar.

Very very nice .. made me think I should have bought an american strat rather than the MIM one I got. I guess I can wait a couple of years and upgrade :-)
