My friend has got American Strat. Sounds really good for very good price. Your Strat is very nice, too

Arjay Stop making me laugh I have just had my breakfast

rjake Very nice strat you have there. My first strat was black with black pickguard and rosewood neck back in the 70s "Heavy man"

Congrats on the new strat rjake! I'm partial to black guitars myself. The MIA standard will be all the strat you'll ever need! Enjoy!!

Thanks guys! That Hank Marvin quote on your sig is great KmetoSVK.

A rodent omelet, per chance?

I'm guessing that poor Templeton's buddies penned a documentary of your successful "safari" to hunt him down titled "Flight Of The Rat".

The sequel will doubtless be named "Wring That Neck".

It was Rat Bat Blue. Im sure he would make a tasty Stew, after he had been Into the fire

Hush such levity lest your soul meet his while you are space truckin' into the hereafter.

Yes it was a Black Night when the Bloodsucker passed away in April. Poor Emmaretta has not been the same girl since

April?

Lord, that was quick......he was obviously a speed demon reqarding his quest for eternal salvation. Not to fear though, I'm certain that Emmy will land another hard lovin' man in less than a fortnight. She's a strange kind of woman, you know.

Dang! Fender gave the American Standard Strat the appearance of having staggered pole pieces. I thought they were real. They are not. They are the same old plastic bobbin with the same size magnets, just pushed up to give the staggered appearance. That wasn't nice! They are hotter pickups. 5.8k, 6.0k, and 7.2k. Guess I can order some pole pieces from Stewmac and make it right. I feel deceived.
