I've always wanted one and a friend had one and he liked my trade suggestion so I ended up with a Black VG strat with maple board in VG condition and a Line 6 Pod Pedal board in new condition. I traded a faded Les Paul for it (Traditional faded cost me 1599 new) He might have got more dollar value but he's a good friend and does me solids all the time. I got what I wanted big time. (Now if someone would trade me a sunburst VG!) We will be playing "Wish you were here" in the rotation now with the 12 string. G tuning fits the bill for my boogies. (the other strat is a Deluxe players strat I recently bought)

PS the batteries for my ancient Kodak digital camera are in the VG strat so pics right now aint happinin. Its black it has a white pick-guard and a maple board and looks exactly like every other Black VG strat. Later I will pic both guitars together.
