Soo, after a long couple of months I finally have my beauty home. I'd been having GAS attacks for a while and decided to cure myself with my first strat. I originally had my heart set on a Deluxe, but when I played one I was a bit under-whelmed by it. I played an American Standard, and whoah!! It sounded awesome. It just felt so right compared to the Deluxe. I really wanted a maple necked Sienna Sunburst but they only had the rosewood in stock, and since its just a small shop they don't regularly get stuff in. However obviously fate was feeling kind, and a few weeks later they had one in stock!! I put my deposit down there and then before anyone else could have a chance.

And now, after an agonising wait, I finally have her home. I can't get over how brilliant it sounds, and I'm in love with the grain of the ash body. The neck feels super smooth to play on and I'm also really digging the SKB case, it's great!

So, without further ado, here is the obligatory guitar porn.

That is a great color!
Also, it seems rare to find these with matching grain on the 2 body pieces. Almost looks like a one piece body to me. This is a real catch!
Congrats and enjoy her.

I haven't been able to put it down all day, I'm gutted I'm working all weekend.

The pictures make the finish look darker than it is, almost like a tobacco burst. In person the red's a bit brighter round the edges, and the finish is a bit more colourful overall.

Marty that is a mighty fine sienna burst. I love the grain and it may have been the camera, but the burst is not as orange as mine almost looks like a violin burst. I'm a tad jealous. :mrgreen: Below is mine. Its an 08.

Truly beautiful guitar, I haven't got my first strat yet but I'm hoping to take a trip down to Aberdeen to try some out soon. Which shop did you get it from? R&B Music?
PS: Any of you want to tell a new member what GAS attacks are? :oops:
