$799 Robert, the only drawback is that there's only 2 colours to chose from, sonic blue & sunburst.

I think that's a decent price for a guitar that has the CS 69 pups, steel block and saddles. You figure you'd dish out $219 to upgrade the pups plus another $60 for the steel block and $35 for the steel saddles for a regular Classic 60s or 50s Strat.

2 point tremolo is very smooth and stays in tune unbelievably well. I was worried that it may take from the vintage feel of the guitar but it really does a great job without sounding too modern.

I think I may have to make you wait for clips - this strat is a wedding present from the bride-to-be and we get married this Saturday. So guitar playing will have to take a back seat for a couple of weeks. I will definitely upload some clips when I get back from honeymoon.

GOREGOUS!!! ABSOLUTELY GOREGOUS!!! Sonic Blue looks so bland by itself, but on a Strat it's one of the most attractive colors available. My Marilyn guitar is based off of the 60s Strat model so I know how sweet it is. :)

Congrats!
