simply great guitar

I was lucky enough to purchase 1 of only 4 that GC in NYC has... bought it yesterday, plugged it it and was blown away .. I have 2 other American strats..2004 and a Clapton sig strat ..

This guitar's tone is better than both, in my opinion. or, maybe at least equal to the Clapton sig I own.

The picture does not do this axe justice.. 1st because they tinted the neck .. it looks really sweet.. great touch.. but yah, looks are not the most important thing here .. the new vintage saddles deliver a richer tone .. yes, i'm not a big fan of a floating trem, but it's an improvement over the previous american strat saddles, BELIEVE ME.. listen for yourself..

anyway- maybe traditional strat fans will not initially give this new axe a chance, and some part of me didn't want this axe to be any better, but after playing it myself and hearing the richer tones delivered out of this new axe, i am recomending this new Strat to anyone who is lucky enough to get their hands on one ..

Good luck to all!

There's really nothing new to say about Strats...they sound awesome and are generally noisy due to single coils. No big deal though, enjoy!
