Hello All,

Just wanted to say "Howdy"!

Bought my 1st Fender today - an Am Dlx Strat SSS in Montego & Maple - just like this one (don't have pics of MY guitar yet but soon!)


Image

I was keeping an eye out for one of these - saw the online pic and the spces and figured I would have to get one; I almost got one in silver a few weeks back but decided to hold out (& ended up with an LP instead). Well - against my better judgement ;) - I went back to the store today and sure enough they had it...could not resist GAS.

Haven't even messed with but a little bit so far - but I will be all over it tomorrow. So far it sounds great, feels great, and looks terrific.

Cheers!

Thanks all!

Syke,

That Chrome Silver is pretty sharp, with that "pearly"(??) pickguard - ALMOST had me at 1st, but it seems I am kind of into ebony/black.

Well - I got to clean/polish it, and will look to change the strings next - just keeping it a low profile for now to keep peace in the house (wife and all).

Color wise......that's what got me on selecting the color. The metallic silver with black pearl pickguard. Also....the black knobs and pickups.

Beautiful looking guitar, but only one drawback.......
I was looking at it one day......and it hit me........"This is a Raiders guitar". And.....I'm a 49ers fan (rivals). But......I still like the guitar anyway. I don't know if a red strat with a gold pickguard would work.
