Hey all,

About 8 hours ago I drove home with my first-ever Strat...and I've been playing it ever since. I spent about 3 months trying out all of the Strats in the area I could find, and I finally decided on an '08 MIM sunburst/maple standard...absolutely unbelievable.

I'm so excited, this is pretty much a dream I've had since I was about 11 and I'm so psyched I finally landed one. This one actually sounded better than one American standard I was looking at, and it felt better playing it than many of the MIA's i tried out.

Any suggestions for set-up or anything?

Welcome to the forum wea301 and bynapkinart! Congratulations to both of you. Some people wont even touch a MIM but I agree with you, there are MIMs that are better than some MIAs. I guess theres always that one guitar thats just made for you. :D

Welcome to the forum! Pix? Gotta love the classic Sunburst/maple.
I returned to strats last year with my purchase of my HWY1. Sold a few over the years, and am very glad to have gotten back to the world of strats. Congrats.
