Well, the UPS just delivered this baby today, American Special Strat in candy apple red. I got it for $700 shipped, new with gigbag. Its a three piece body, I thought the Specials were made of four piece. I've seen many sunburst with four piece bodies. My 2007 Highway One three tone burst is a three piece, I guess Fender is making the lower end USA made guitars with more than three pieces now. I also have a American special tele, white color.

Lots of excellent gear there! Wow! Did you just buy them all recently, or do you leave the plastic on the pickguards? I haven't seen that many stickers outside of a music shop! Is that Blizzard Pearl in the upper right? Looks fantastic with maple.

The blizzard is a VG strat. Great guitar. Yes, some of my guitars have the stickers on. I put them away after I purchase them. Its just me. I collect them, but there are that I do play often, the ones without the stickers and plastics.

Just if you leave stickers on, they end up becoming a permanent part of the pickguard, and if you ever take them off the PG is discoloured and marked where the stickers are. Ya may as well leave the hang tags on too. then :lol:
