[quote="nikininja"]See now heres the bad thing. I want a sunburst one now, and may as well add a black one too.[quote]

Seems to me that it was only yesterday I recall throwing quite a sales pitch to you about that guitar when you were searching for a '57VRI and I told you I had just auditioned the HR and that the neck was totally killer. :wink: I had seen it briefly in Seattle, a CAR it was, and then again, for a real closeup in NYC. Been sitting on this one nearly three and one-half years now...the last half waiting for Fender to get itself in gear.
Won't be long now.

zzdoc, i thought you alreadu had yours. what color are you getting yours in?

when these came out, i had been gassing for one. if i had played one at a store, i would have been in trouble.
now that i have it, its my favorite.

in fact if i was down to 1 guitar, this would be it.
nik, believe me 2 tone is nice, but your CAR HR 57 is totally awesome.

Yeah I love my red one. And I'm 150% sure that the red ones go faster. Red's my favourite strat colour ever. A nod to Hank Marvin and no doubt the rock'n'roll colour of early 60's rebellion. Where black is stately, sunburst a nod to acoustic guitars and white always a pure colour. Well thats the way I always perceived it, though I like those colours, it's just the way I interpret them.

I was just posting from a point of greed. Want a sunburst to set up as a 57ri with a neck I prefer. Want a black one too, to set up as a Clapton strat without the 22nd fret. You wouldn't believe how much that 22nd fret plays on my mind.

No accounting for sanity eh?

[quote="bluesstrattone"]zzdoc, i thought you already had yours. what color are you getting yours in?

The guitar is sunburst. I was notified shortly before I was to leave for Florida that the factory was shipping it. The time frame left little opportunity for me to take possession of it. I will do so on the 8th of January. It's been a long 8 months.

Easier done than said. Log into The Music Zoo and search their inventory listing for it. They photograph everything they sell. You'll find some really nice photos of that guitar. Better than I could provide here. :wink:
