:D Hey all. I got a new Fender American Standard Strat last month, which I suppose makes me a member of the "Fender family." It's a sunburst finish with a maple neck, and I'm in love. Ironically, my interest in a Strat was either a long time coming or a new obsession. My very first guitar was a hundred dollar strat copy (big Jimi fan then, and now), and from there I went the heavy metal Strat-style with a humbucker and a Floyd in the eighties (hated the Floyd from day one), and for the past ten years it's been a two-humbucker neck thru body guitar, with lots of big, crunchy tones. However, in the last year or so, I've sort of turned my love of the blues up quite a few notches, and I've been listening to all these great Strat players with their gorgeous "wood" tones and began thinking about how nice it would be to have that sound (let alone a more comfortable neck). So here I am, and as I said, I am in love with my Strat. It's a work of art to play, hold and just look at (yeah, I've got it bad).
So I just wanted to say "hi," and hopefully I'll have time to post and participate in the forum more often than not. I've got a number of questions already, and I've seen that some of them have been covered (eg, how the tremolo should be set - already an issue), but rather than ask right away I'll try to search through the forum when I have a chance.
Peace.

Welcome Sunburst Blues, it is a cool place here, you're going to love it. To each is own but for that kind of sound you refered to, you need nothing else than a Strat. :)
