'09 MIA Standard
White/Maple
3 Single Coil

It came with a mint green pickguard so matian hooked me up with a parchment white.

the mint green looked nice, but i've wanted an all-white for a long time. so why compromise now?

Anyways, this guitar was in like new condition, as if i picked it off the shelf straight from guitar center. Came with fender hardshell case and all the little nicknacks that come with it. The guy had it for several months hardly played, then had to sell it. I payed 850, which is a bit high but considereing the near mint condition i am quite happy.

I'l take pics when the pickguard comes in.

so i'l have to play my other strat until i restring the white one. it's driving me crazy!

Jimi's favorite guitar that he used on Woodstock. W/B/W pickguard though. I was in the market for one a few years back when I saw my 2007 Am/Dlx. The creme color (designated Vintage White), the White Pearloid/w/b/w pickguard and the streamlined two pivot fulcrum tremolo was too much too beautiful to pass up. I got 20% off the list for a very minor blemish I noticed just below the jack plate so that saved me $250.00 bones off the bat. Plugged in it is invisible. They also threw in 10 packs of my favorite strings (Ernie Ball Slinkies (lime)). Between the Schaller locking tuners, the clean bridge assembly and overall craftsmanship I can LITERALLY dive bomb for weeks without retuning! That is no an exaggeration please believe me. BTW that's her actual picture in my banner below. Her name is Mary for Jimi's "The Wind Cries Mary".

I like the pearloid pickgards.I have a Texas Special strat in chrome silver and it looks really nice.It will go with just about anything.Chrome silver in white is just ok.
