I am working in Orlando and went into the local guitar center looking for a midi controller for pro-tools... ended up bailing on it but looked at their used wall.. I found a 2007 NAMM '57 Strat (black) and a '68 Strat (burgandy mist). I've gone ahead and put a deposit on them until my taxes come back. I wouldnt normally buy used, but I'm getting both for the price of one relic strat... so I couldnt refuse!

It would seem the burgandy mist on has an interesting story. Someone at GC lost the case and COA. I made them call fender yesterday and verify its authenticity. They found out that they can order a new COA for roughly $34 or it would cost my $89 to do it myself.

It was orignally in the Seattle store but they were unable to move it. Guess it was a good decision to send it to Orlando. I buy guitars I want to play, and have little interest in collectibility. Having the COA is important to me.. the case not so much. I have so many cases now - not as many as Alain of course - that I dont have room for more anyways.

John Lennon sang "life is what happens when your busy making other plans". Its funny because I always thought myself as a sunburst guy, but I keep buying other colors. I wanted a sunburst early '60s tele custom - I ended up with a tuxedo black one. I wanted a sunburst late '50s strat - I'm ending up with a black one and an HLE. Ironically enough, late '60s strats I like in black. I've ordered a '69 in black and the '68 will be burgandy mist. I do have 2 sunburst strats from early '60s... '60 and '62. Guess that satisfies the craving. I would like a '54/'55 to finish the collection.... We'll see. I need to stop spending and start saving. I'll try and post pic's as they come in.
