i think im going with 10's and is the finish the normal finishs or different?

I recently bought one of these second hand, but as new from a guy that had too. I paid £575, they go for £700 in the uk.

I dont play Pumpkins, I like some of there stuff. I wanted a high quality USA made strat with high output pickups. I play mostly clean stuff with lots of delays and other ambient effects.

The finish wasnt an issue for me really, I've heard nitro lets the guitar sustain a bit better, and this with the hardtail is certainly true. It has bags of unamplified sustain. With a bit of dirt this thing screams too, for fun

It comes with a high end case which I really like too. I dont like floating bridges so the hardtail is excellent. The neck is sooo nice too, if thats your bag (9.25'' with Jumbo frets). Personal preferance but i really like the 70s headstock and decals.

Heres some pics
