I could not resist sharing my latest purchase.

Managed to find an almost mint (a few minor scratches on the back of the body) black Standard Strat, with maple fretboard, for an absolute song - CAN $350.

The Strat plays wonderfully - a nice low action with only a little buzzing - and just needs a little work on the intonation of the G and B strings.

Dating the serial number reveals that it was made in 2007 or 2008.

All in all, a wonderful purchase.

Tried to use the IMG code, but am currently having problems attaching a photo - anyone know how?

Congrats on the MIM Strat! You have to upload the photo to a webhosting site, such as photobucket and then put the link to the photo in the thread with the word img in brackets

[img]photo-link-from-website[/img]

And that's all there is to it.

I believe (feel free to correct me) the 2008+ got the bigger trem-block. The change also is associated with the logo change so you can easily determine if it was pre- or post-. If it is pre- make sure to replace the trem block with of the newer ones (it screws right up). Good catch -- hope to see pics!
