New MIM Deluxe Roadhouse. Brown truck guy also brought a Mustang I and several other goodies.

I had to make some adjustments on the guitar especially after swapping out the stock strings to tens. The neck was too concave and the trem was WAY too high. Play good though. :D

There are only a paltry few problems in the world which cannot be solved by a maple-necked Strat in Oly White with a tortoise-shell pickguard.

:mrgreen:

OUTSTANDING!

Rawk on!

Thanks for sharing your new baby!

One tip: I like to have my Texas Specials set low (increased distance from the strings), so experiment with their height. Have fun with it.
