Here a few pictures of my CP '50s Strat that I picked up recently (well, August to be exact). I'm very satisfied with it -- its working out great for the surf stuff I've been working on.. The last picture shows it next to my other Strat. These two are SO different but SO nice!

Hey, thanks for the comments! I really like the classic look and sound of the CP '50s, although I'm considering changing the pickguard to a 4-ply tortoise shell one which kinda goes against the '50s look. The Am Deluxe HSS is a lot of fun to mess around with 'cause there's so many pickup combos to play with.

Very nice guitars you have there, you sure can cover a lot of tonal bases with these two. By the way, the shorline gold looks sweet. I have a CP 50s in 2-tone burst and I swapped out the pickguard for a 3-ply black. I love it, especially the feel of the neck.

Wow, I love the yin and yang concept you have there, if you changed the pickguard to tortoiseshell it would intensify that effect. I bet you get a lot of sweet sounds from those two ^^

Very nice. I have played a CS NOS 56 that was really nice. Looked like yours, and the neck was a 10.

Oldguy that is some dynamic duo you have there. Very different from each other indeed.
