I've stumbled onto some interesting used guitars at the local GC in the last few weeks and bought several of them. I was there today swapping a guitar case and while the boys were struggling with the paperwork I wandered over to look at the used guitars. Up on the second tier, just out of my reach was a very interesting Strat!

Image

I had one of the guys roll the ladder over and get it down for me. I knew the minute I had it in my hands that it was going home with me.

I don't know if this one has Texas Special Pickups or not, but I'll be pulling the pickguard to see what's under there. The price on it was $279, but the boys at GC like me and my business, so it went out the door for $249!

Thanks, Arc! I sent an email with pictures to a friend of mine who is a complete CraigsList guitar hound and he was very, very jealous that I just found this guitar hanging up at GC. I've had pretty good luck (and great timing) at GC lately.

I recently acquired an Epiphone FlameKat guitar and when I saw this Strat I knew it was the Fender counterpart to the Kat.

The flames on the Epi run the opposite direction, but what the heck?

Congratulations! A Stratocaster made in Mexico is a treasure. The finish with matching headstock is one of 250, lucky you Bro! Enjoy! :D

Here's another pic to show something else that's really cool about this guitar...

it also has flames on the BACK of the body!

How cool is that?
