Just got delivered a coupple days ago. Its my early christmas present to myself!! Its my first fender ( i have an epiphone LP, an ibanez rg and a tanglewood acoustic also).








Apoogies for my attempt at artsy photos.

I used to be ok at guitar but college wrecked all that and i havnt really played in 4-5 years. i used to be into metal but now am into blues. got the strat as i just wasnt feeling the blues through the ibanez. man, this baby makes even my crap little 10w practice amp sound bluesy!
I just have to learn to play the darn thing now and stop taking pictures of it!

You have outstanding taste!

Lots of luck with it!!

giljanus is correct Play3r, its an Amber Strat Deluxe with rosewood fretboard and SSS pickup configuration. I wanted a fixed bridge but played one of these in a local musicstore and fell in love with it. i tried tele's afterwards, but this was the guitar for me!

SWEET! Enjpy and have fun wth it. I was pondering on buying another strat but at my age I dont think it's thesible//think I'll just keep plucking ths old 72

That is one nice looking guitar. Congrats.

as stated previous i getting back into playing after a few years away from it, and now that im into blues, i just cant seem to enjoy blues on the ibanez. doesnt feel right.

I was in a new music store in the area to check it out. i have been considering a squier for a while as i just wanted some form of strat/tele to mess with blues on.

I decided to compare squiers to american standards to deluxe's. I was expecting bugger all difference but between an american standard and a squier theres a huge difference. i hate to say it, as it sounds pretentious, but it "feels" better. on closer inspection the neck was definately nicer, the american sounded better, was set up better, was a nicer weight, was finished better. loads of small differences that all add up.

i played the american standard and a deluxe and just fell in love with the deluxe. i wanted originally a fixed bridge but the deluxe strat just felt right. thats all i can say. it was about 500 euro more expensive than the standard, but i found an online store that could provide it to me for the same price as an american standard ( prices in europe that is).

totally worth it. Thanks for all the kind words, it really is a beauty, still contemplating a name. never felt the need to name a guitar but the fender seems to warrant a name. means il have to name my old guitar also so it wont feel left out!

it may be overkill to have a deluxe first go off, and not being very good ( yet) but screw it, college forced me to give up guitar, now that i have a moderately decent job, I feel i should enjoy the fruits of my labour!

nice guitar but sorry not my cup of tea. im an 3tone sunburst, rosewood neck soldier
