I joined these forums before I even had my Strat, and am still learning to play, but we travelled to Brisbane over the weekend and I finally picked up the Strat I'd layby'd 6 weeks ago on a previous visit.

It's a MIM Standard HSS in Midnight Wine with Maple neck. Utterly gorgeous, and sounds fantastic! (am hoping it'll sound even better once I can play properly, lol!) I don't have an amp yet, and won't either until I can actually produce sounds worth amplifying, but for now have one of those wee Vox AmPlugs that I can plug headphones and aux input into to practice with.

Took a bunch of pics.. didn't realise it had fingerprints all over it until I took the pics, sorry! :oops:

You are going to discover so much on that guitar.
Hopefully ur hand will grow together around it.
Play it till it feels like a worn in shoe!

At one time I owned three Strats and a Tele, an SG and a LP and at least four amps.

I at one time or another have owned four different Blues jr's from tweed to the limited edition all wood two tone burst to a black tolex.

but now I have found my sound and own one Strat and a desire for a Tele and the two amps listed below and thats it.

having owned two Teles and sold them, I'm sure its a passing fancy.

I really think I need a VG Strat to fullfill all my dreams.

yes you never really recover from Guitar addiction !!!!!!

Ha-ha-ha! I think we've ALL been waiting for that particular guitar to arrive, haven't we?

Remember that Sean Connery SF film Outland, with the big clock counting down the days and minutes till the shuttle arrives with those ba-a-ad guys aboard? Well, your own bad guy just landed. The story's just beginning...

Enjoy!

Ah yes.... the honeymoon phase with the ole six stringed mistress.

How many here would be more angry if someone stole their guitar than if someone stole their girlfriend?



"And if my baby don't love me no more!
I know my stratocaster will!"

or something like that. :mrgreen:
