Hi guys, just joined the board this morning so thought I'd say 'Hi' to fellow Strat lovers and post some pics of my three Strats:

My pride and joy - an original 1969 maple cap board hardtail Stratocaster

2004 (genuine) 50th Anniversary American Deluxe Strat

My latest Strat - a lovely 2009 Limited Edition US Standard Strat in Daphne Blue with matching colour headstock & 'deltatone'.

Thanks for the welcome guys - yup, even my wife and kids love the Daphne Blue Strat, and she sounds fabulous too (the Strat, not the wife! :lol: )

The '69 is a custom colour - it's an unusual light mocha brown - I've only ever seen one other like it years ago at Rosemorris in London. Here's an older, but better pic I have of it:

You can see it in action here (not the best of recordings I'm afraid):

Little Wing

It used to be my main gigging Strat, but it's just too valuable to take out now, so hence why I have the Daphne Blue Strat. The 50th is pure mint, and kept for investment with all unopened case candy and stickers intact....not quite sure how long I can resist the urge to use it though! :lol:
