Howdy from Dallas! I just got my first Fender: American Stratocaster HSS Special (017-0040-538). Very sweet. Don't know why it took me so long, but I probably was not worthy until I got my chops working. Got laid-off in August, so I have been practicing every day. :) I'll post some better pics later.

Not normally a fan of 'modern' strats - but that is lovely!

That's one nice looking Stratocaster. Bet it sounds good too. Nice family portrait also.

Good purchase, hope it treats you well

Thank you all for the props. I'm enjoying my "time off" by networking and making job inquiries, but managing to practice every day. I have two great interviews coming up this week, so here's hoping for the best. Based upon your comments, I will have no buyer's remorse for the acquisition of this fine Strat Deluxe. 8)

Very cool. Has that same color scheme and look at Brad Gillis' guitar back in the 80's...

You're right! I was wondering where that scheme came from. Thank you! :D
