Reply With QuoteYou bought a new Strat? I don't believe you that intro sounded so dang understated! Congrats! What color did you get? Blue with rosewood? Show show show!

New guitar in the house! (Deluxe Player Stratocaster)
Went and tried a bunch of guitars today. I liked the Highway 1 a lot too, but decided to go with a Deluxe Player Stratocaster.
It has an ash body, Rosewood fretboard, noiseless pickups. Pics to come soon...
It's always hard to decide, especially with 5 metal kids around playing their heaviest riffs all the time, but I think I got a pretty good one.
It may not be the "truest" Strat out there, but it is quite versatile and I think it looks cool and is nice to play.
More to come...

Congratulations! I'd love to see it too.
Does yours have the Samarium Cobalt pickups or the Vintage Noiseless?

Way to go Robert, you've been talking about a nice Strat for a while.
Oranges and lemons, say the bells of St. Clements...
Yep, I sured did buy a new Fender Strat! First time I've ever done that...
I sounded understated because in the end I bought on a whim. Not sure yet if I love it (only played it a few minutes really, but I do like it.) They were closing the store and I liked the feel of a gray one, but it looked kinda ugly so I just grabbed a different a guitar with different color and quickly test-played it, payed up and left.
It has the Vintage Noiseless pickups.

I can't say that I've given up on a flanger cause I've never liked the effect either. I also can't say the same about Tremolo. I hate them both equally. - Tone2TheBone 2009

I'd be more than happy to give 'er a good home
Nice git, Robert. I like the woodgrain. I don't think I've ever seen the grain thru a blue finish on a fender before. Can't help but wonder what she'd look like with a white perloid pick guard though. Maybe I'm just picky?
Then again, the way you can play, it could be puke green with a rusty orange pickguard and it'd still be cool! LOL!
Seriously though, nice guitar. Congrats on the Strat. I know you've been thinking about this purchase for a while. So... what's next? (Funny how you can never reach the top of the gear mountain, eh?)
Peace,
Trev

Tim, my old "Dark Wing '51", she'll stay in the backup stable.
Trev, what's next? Well, I am thinking a Maz 18 JR non-reverb, and maybe getting a Cry Baby wah.
I am also thinking of getting rid of some guitars - a Squier Strat and an SX Ibanez-style guitar. Maybe the SX Strat too. I just have too much stuff I never use.
Some day, I will get myself a Suhr Classic. Gotta save for that one though... or else sell of everything I've got for that one guitar...
