New to the forum and new to Fender

I've been playing guitar on and off for years now, and I finally decided to commit 110%. About a month ago, I bought a 2008 American Standard Strat S/S/S and as I'm sure you all already know, it plays like a dream.

In terms of style, I'm really influenced by Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine/Audioslave) and Walter Schriefels (Gorilla Biscuits/Quicksand/Rival Schools).


So yeah here it is. I plan on switching the pickguard to a tortoise shell very soon.

I've always had black guitars and wanted something that just popped out. Plus, the online pics of the Olympic White just don't do it justice. It really stands out when you see it in person.
