Classic vibe 50s Strat: It's here!
I got an email from my guitar tech. He said the classic vibe just came through the door. He is setting it up with 9.5 D'Addarios as we speak.
I am going to head over tomorrow and take a look (possibly buy) Oh hell I will be picking it up!
Just thought I would give you a little eye Candy.

He said it reminded him of his old JV Squier he used to own. It was in need of a set up and it will be in great shape when I go to see it tomorrow.
A full detailed rundown on it to follow.

That is the one he got in today. I asked him what it looked like and he sent me those pictures. They know how to fuel the gas better than anyone!
Hey Bloozecat my wife tried that approach. She also said don't you have one just like that. And I tried to explain that it wasn't "exactly" the same.

The problem is that the tech/manager that I deal with is a magiician when it comes to set ups. He said he will have it set up for me with the 9.5 D'Addarios and it WILL play like a dream. I am a really good customer of his and he treats me very well. So yes you can pretty well bet I will have it when I return.

It's hard to believe that's a Squier. She's a beauty, zman. If quality keeps going like it is, the boys and girls at Fender are gonna start getting jealous again.

Not that I want to stir up any trouble with the ZWOMAN in the household, but I can think of a couple of counter arguements here:
Why do you need another pair of shoes? Don't you have some just like that?
(Shoes...the nerve that's sure to get a response...maybe not a good response, but....)
Why do you need another manicure? Didn't you just get one last week?
(You don't see me re-painting my guitars every week, do you?)
Why would we want another kid? Don't we have one just like that?
(A flak vest, a Kevlar cover, and a nomex suit is advisable if you enter this terrority. Proceed at your own risk)
All kidding aside, ZMAN. The Classic Vibe Squire Strat is a hot looking new offering, but this particular guitar looks pretty sweet. The wood grain looks great, and the burst is nice, clean, and very uniform. That could be the luck of the draw if you order one, but this one is a known quantity. Add the great set-up you described and this seems like too good a deal to walk away from. We've all had those, "I wish I had", moments. This could be one of them if you let it get away.
(BTW: Should you or any of your IM force be coerced into completing this transaction, the Bloozcat will disavow any knowlege of your actions...to your wife, that is. This message will self destruct in five seconds...
