    Congrats,

    I've wanted a white Fender Strat for sometime, sounds like you got your hands on a good one. What's the pick-up arrangement?

    Do remember - if you mentioned it here, you have to post pictures here.

    And also remember - safety first.

    You just hit all the right buttons. Standard Strat (MIM), Vintage White, my favourite strat colour, Maple board, my favourite Strat board, harshell case, and best of all TWO HUNDRED AND FORTY NINE DOLLARS. All I can say is
    "start the car, you stole that thing". Just Strum is having palpitations over that one. Of course it doesn't exist without pictures. Pony up that money in a hurry so we can see it!

    Based on the comment above the pic, I was afraid to click, thought it might be a pancake shot. Were you wearing those just before getting behind the camera?

    Lookin good F4DPhantomII: Everything lines up nice and looks to be played very little. I did notice your tone control knobs are upside down but I don't think there is a lot to fixing that. :

    Nice Strat! That was a good deal. Sometimes those Standard Strats can be really good.

    Kind of reminds me of a Jimmy Vaughan. I think it has the BWB pickguard though. My 60th MIM has a set of those Tex Mex pickups and they are really nice in that guitar. They would be a nice upgrade.
    I don't know what it is about Vintage White with maple I guess it is that Hendrix vibe. I am always drawn to them.
    Nice score!
