Well guys, after a 9 - 10 month wait, my new Custom Shop Strat is finally here!

Not had chance to play much with it yet, but I will say that first impressions are fantastic!

This is my first CS guitar and so I didn't really know what to expect when placing my order, but I must say that it is all that I had hoped/imagined it would be and I am delighted that I chose to go CS this time!

I'll post again with further views and comments soon when I have had chance to spend some more time with it, but until then, here are a few quick snaps I took for you all to take a look at.

Thanks for taking a look

Russ :D

Yes it is a Custom Deluxe. The only changes I made were the locking tuners and the colour.

The case in fact has a standard black interior. It may just be a reflection from the trees outside the window giving it a green tint?

Thanks again for all the kind comments

Russ :)

Fantastic!

So glad it worked out for you, Russ.

I've done that journey to collect three times in the last 15 years and it does feel special :D

Normally I don't like Strats to look "different" (ie non traditional sunburst) but I like that one. Ash body? What kind of pups?

That case looks GREEN! I read what you said about it but kinda cool lookin'. I've got a green tolexed Victoria amp. Green-favorite color and a great guitarist (sadly, at one time. Big fan- See my avatar...)
