Hey all. Been lurking and reading a bit. I just got back into it after taking too long of a break from serious playing. I sold a few items from my gun safe and I had an urge to buy an American made guitar with my new found cash. Ended up with an 02 American standard strat. Olympic white with maple fretboard. Picked up a hot rod deville amp just for the hell of it too.
After I had it set up by a luthier here in town my strat plays like a dream. Ive never had a guitar fit me so well. Dont know if it is the guitar itself or this guy did some magic to it but Ive been playing for hours every day. I have a 15 year old son that plays bass and a 12 year old son on the drums. I guess you can say I literally made my own band. :lol:
I listen so everything from punk and metal to ska, raggae, rockabilly, surf, country and blues and just about everything but mexican music. :lol:
Looking forward to learning something here!

Welcome to the forum turrican, sounds like you picked up a decent rig for yourself :wink: You're from AZ? You have a new rock & roll cafe/restaurant opening there soon 8) I hear it's a very Fender orientated place :D

Hey guys thanks for the welcome. I was suprised to see so many so quick! Seems like a great bunch of people here.
I am in East Mesa (Gods Country LOL) for those AZ guys here
I havent heard of a Fender oriented place opening soon but I will start looking out for some info on it starting now.
Love your sig line cviella! Im a big 2nd amendment guy too.

Here is my set up, had the Marshall previously but it doesnt sound near as good as the Deville to my ears

Thanks again for the welcome!
