Today I traded a Gibson Les Paul Swampash Studio for an American Special Strat in two tone sunburst. My friends think I'm crazy except one who has heard those Texas Specials sing. He thinks it's the finest Guitar I have ever owned. I agree with him.

Different strokes for different folks. You wont be disappointed in the strat mate, very versatile instrument.

Give it a couple of weeks and you wont be looking back :P

Great choice, and great looking guitar too.

I owned a Les Paul that cost $2,700.00, but did not care for the Les Paul sound or playability. I much prefer the Strat above all.

I have an American Special, but I have the HSS version...

You will never be sorry once you see and hear what a nice Strat can do...

Congratulations.
