I had earmarked my Christmas bonus check for an American Standard Strat; an expensive trip to the mechanic's shop has eaten into a goodly portion of said check. Luckily, there was enough left for a Brown Sunburst Mexi Standard Strat, which I ordered from Sweetwater a little while ago. Supposed to be here Wednesday or Thursday.

Needless to say, I can't wait! Pics to follow.

I'm no longer too snobby to buy MIM's. I was back when they were crap, which they used to be. I think they're really nice guitars today. The craftsmanship on every single one of them I've tried out or bought, and that has been many over the last few years, is really top notch. Gone are the bad fret barbs or uneven frets producing terrible buzzes or even dead spots. Congrats on yours. Sweetwater goes over everything really well. I love that place. Enjoy!

Congrats, a good group of fellows there
At sweetwater.
that's where I usually make my purchases

It's supposed to be here tomorrow. Can't wait!

I went with Sweetwater because I was able to pick which of the three in-stock models they had. I'm kinda particular with sunburst guitars and really didn't want to buy one sight-unseen. I also liked the fact that they listed the weight of each of the guitars. It's the little things that are important.
