Gotta love the mint pickguard. I'm getting used to the higher frets vs. my EJ Strat. Love the tone - it runs quieter than the EJ and is "darker" sounding probably due to the vintage pickups and RW neck. I'm wondering if this particular model is being phased out as I got the last one from Sweetwater, MF and GC have 0 stock. I would have preferred the green but a sunburst is always cool too.

Very nice!

How is the neck on that thing?

I'm not exactly sure on the neck thickness but I really don't notice it being much different from the EJ strat I own. The fret height is the only diff that I have noticed while playing her.

Great guitars...I hope you love it as much as I do mine...congratulations.

Nice score Unadan. Bet she delivers........... Mike

Congrats on a lovely guitar.

That's the model that also has the Nitro thin skin finish and a satin feel finish on the back of the neck, is that right?

I hope they aren't phasing the Vintage Hot Rods out because I love the specs Fender has on those guitars and I have my sights set on one as my next Strat!!


Cheers,

Snowy.

welcome to the club!! have fun with it, just cleaned and put some 10's on mine last night, so got to set it up again.



you got it, the necks great...checked the product page and saw Fender is only offering sunburst and white, so I would get one while they are still around

Thanks! Are the Fender 250s that ship with the guitar .10 gauge?

awesome guitar.Once you get used to the bigger frets, you will love them .

The bridge really came up quite a bit with the 10's I put on, so they probably ship with 9's.

Mighty sexy!

I don't know how I feel about the white balance on your digital camera though. Holy orange, Batman!

I know technically they are speced with 10s , but so was my SRV.It actually had 9s on.Its 10s at the factory ,unless they run out , and then its whatever , I guess.

Just about to drop the gauge on my 57HR to 009's. I'm going to put black (lower tension) springs on it too. I've been playing my deluxe all week and fallen in love with the lower tension. The customclassic is donating the black springs as its blocked anyway.

No no and no

I always had problems when I tried using 9s with keeping it in tune due to the variation in temperature around here.

I put DAddario 9.5s on mine and it works very well,that's the first time using those guages,since I've played 9s for years.
