Well Guys, just wanted to show you all My New Strat. I bought a last years model, meaning I was able to get it for $399. I then purchased a loaded pickguard of a Deluxe Strat($130). It has the Vintage Noiseless, all the pots, S-1 Switching system, and the Deluxe silvered tortoise pickguard. It has a Satin neck that lets you see the Maple wood grains on the fretboard, and has an aged white color. I guess you guys can tell I'm still in my Honey Moon days with her!!! :lol: Well Here are the Pics!!!

:oops: :oops: :oops:

hahahaha, Thanks a lot guys, all kind words. What best place to
show people your New Strat than here. The place where people
completely understand the love for a Strat, or ANY other guitar.
Aside from the looks, the sound of those Vintage Noiseless PU's,
are absolutely AMAZING clean sounds. :D

I'm like crazy with this guitar. This is the First Electric I purchase. I had only bought acoustics and this my first REAL electric (I bought some as a teen, but don't count those). It is a nice little addition to my collection. I hook this up to a POD X3 Live, and the sound it has now to what it was stock, is absolutely crazy. I'm telling you guys, I am going to be in my honey moon period for along time with this baby!!! :lol:

Beautiful Strat ManUtd777. I guess this will help you get over the Champs League final the other day. :cry: Yesterday I brought home a new Am. Deluxe Strat myself and can't get it out of my hands for more than 10 minutes. I love these guitars. Enjoy! :D

Yeah, that Champs League Final is still hurting. Hopefully they make it up by bringing in a good right back, and a good attacking winger.

Well congrats on the guitar, you should post a pic to see it. These things are awesome. Now what would you consider the BIG difference in the Vintage Noiseless, and the SCN that your guitar has?!? Also, a friend of mine has an older deluxe (MIM), and I loved the S-1 switching system. On my guitar, not so much. It deadens the sound IMO, and haven't actually found a good use for it. Although who needs it, when the VN PU's sound so Damn good.

Actually, the MIM is the one with the switch. The Am. Deluxe has a Push Pull pot on the Volume knob as the S-1 (correct me if I'm wrong Guys).

Mine is indeed a MIM. I bought a loaded pickguard off a Deluxe. So I just took the original pickguard PU's, knobs, 5 way switch and all, and replaced it with this one. Makes things easier than replacing all one by one. Too bad Fender doesn't sell loaded pickguards that much.

Dude they need to ditch berbatov and throw rooney up front, maybe get kaka or ribery in on the left and find some decent centre defenders for cover. Personally thought John O'shea was class this season, a real trier...Now lets hear some JIMI!!!! :D :D :D
