I was at guitar center on saturday and asked them if and when the 07 strats will go out on clearance? He said they already did and are sold. So does that mean if I buy a strat it will be an 08? Also whats the difference between the 07 and 08?

Thanks in advance!

I know from some inside sources some differences, but I don't know if I should tell or not...

Can you order a 08 on the guitar center website?? Because I dont wanna play tax and I want all white. But im glad you like it. I played the clapton and 07 and was amazed how great they were. I'll be gettin mine in about a month. CANT WAIT!!1

There is already a similar thread on the front page of this forum about the differences.
