Hey guys, well after a long time of wanting and researching I finally became a fully fledged Fender owner! I still love my Squier guitars but I have wanted a Fender for a while, so I bit the bullet and went for it today.

It's a 2009 MIM Standard strat, in the exact colour with the exact neck I wanted so I'm pretty happy about it! I still have to change the stock 9's for my usual 10's but other than that it plays and sounds really nice!

Thanks guys :) well I have been after a Fender for a long time, even before I made the switch from bass to guitar, but being of limited income I always had to make do with Squiers (which incedentally I am very fond of) or other budget guitars.
I decided that this year I was gonna save up and buy a Fender with the hope that it will last me a long time, or until I win the lottery and get my David Gilmour custom shop model :roll:
I was lucky that they had the exact spec guitar in the right colour at the time I was looking, now all it needs is some 0.10's, a wee setup and I'm sure I wont be able to put it down!

Nice choice you made there. That finish looks exceptional with the rosewood! With a proper setup that guitar will play like a dream, and will last forever if you take care of it. Congrats!

Very nice looking strat you found there, but more importantly you found the one with the neck and feel you wanted.

That is far more important then looks any day.
