Hi guys, I'm new here and just wanted to say hello. I also just ordered a sonic blue w/ rosewood neck blacktop strat. It should get here tomorrow. I can't frickin' wait! I also have a mustang III amp along with an Ovation and an Alvarez. Been playing for years as just messing with the guitar but never serious. I've been taking online lessons and playing serious everyday for only about 4 months. I love it and am determined to be in a band again sometime in the near future (was a singer before and every now and then a back up guitar player). Anyway, enough about me. Hi to everyone!

I played one of those when they first hit our local GC. Went home to "think about it" and when I came back the next day, every Blacktop in the store (all of 6, I believe) was gone. They've never gotten another of those Strats in, just the silver and black Teles. It was not meant to be...

Enjoy and welcome to the Forum!

Welcome to the Forum...be sure to post pics of your axe when you get it (we love pics!)

That kind of music do you play?

Thanks guys! Screamin' I mostly play rock, rock and roll, pop, blues, and some country. If I play country it's on my acoustic guitars. Some metal but just for fun. I absolutely love the way strats feel but I'm not a big fan of the single coil sound or twangy sound. So when I played this guitar at GC, for me personally, the sound was just perfect! It wasn't twangy and it wasn't overly muddy either. So I can't wait to get it. I've been a rythm chord player (open chords, bar chords, power chords......never learned complex chords) in the past and never got into lead stuff too much but like I said have been taking lessons on lead, pentatonic patterns, etc. So I am very excited.
