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.

Vintage white Standard you say. Well here is my 68 Reissue CIJ Strat.

This one is a 97 model and they turn an almost yellow white over the years.
Yours will have the large headstock as well.
Maple or Rosewood board?

I'm loving that Peavey, strum...Originally Posted by just strum
Maple fretboard on maple neck.And a Fender shaped hard case worth about $100 salesman said.Saw it today with good friend M29 who looked it over and liked it.
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!

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. :

Im diggin your vintage white...you just gotta love a used MIM!!!
In my opinion they are the best deal goin!
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!
