Stay with the black strat.

I love those 60s Fender colors, especially Surf and Seafoam greens. Check out this site Curtis Novak.

Keep the MIA stock. AND either buy a sea-foam green Strat or build one.

I agree with Tochai. Have two and neither one will be compromised.

There's no way I'd change a black Strat with a maple board,a classic Hendrix colour scheme.You're only 23 and you have years to buy a surf green anyway a man can't have too many Strats.If you don't believe me ask Alain LaFrance or Xhephri.

as of right now, the results are 60/40. i like the idea of having two, actually. i ALMOST bought the limited edition strat last summer w/ the matching headstock, but i dont like rosewood necks..

i dont wanna build one cuz i wanna keep it mostly fender... maybe buy used fender parts on ebay??? too many options. i decided to have two, prolly get a USA strat with a replacement body somewhere.




i love this forum!!!!

Agreed. Keep the Black guitar and either buy or build the Surf Green Strat.

...Surf Green American Standard with matching headstock and rosewood board for $999 at Sam Ash in Lombard, IL, USA.

'Bought a surf green MIM 50s Strat in '02. Striking, outstanding playing and sounding, excellent guitar. The one which is in this opinion, really, really remeinscent of a "Real" circa '65 Stratocaser.

Best of fortune.
