Finally got the Maui Blue Fender I've always wanted, though it isn't hardtail and the lace sensors sound stale as usual. Nice neck on it, though. Farewell, Fernandes.

8th Stratocaster I've owned, 2nd one I've fallen in love with. Probably a keeper.

It is indeed Maui Blue, it's slightly yellowed with age, however.

Nice looking guitar. Glad to see your watch duck is keeping an eye on it.

Nice guitar but it looks more daphne blue to me. Lighting is bad also could be Lake Placid blue.

I don't know if my phone will pick up the color well enough in any lighting. Let me take a photo of it outside soon

I strummed the open strings on the table top and it shook my floor.

It's actually pretty beat up. The pictures don't capture the wear.

Yea, they just sound spanky and weak.

This neck is great, though. It's not wide and flat. It's pretty narrow and round, kinda thin too.

I like Lace Sensors. If you ever wanted to trade for some Fender Noiseless pickups, let me know.

I'm sorry, I don't like noisless pickups either.

I really liked my old 1992's pickups. They were the ballsiest strat pickups I've ever heard. I regret selling it now. Only guitar I've ever missed out of the many I've traded on craigslist.
