Well, I have had my BT Strat with Floyd Rose Trem for a little over a week now. I must say, it is an absolutely amazing guitar. Fender has really done a fantastic job putting out quality guitars from the Ensanada factory. The Titanium Silver color is absolutely killer! The twing humbucker pups are really, really nice! At rehersal the other night my other guitarist could not believe how sweet she sounds! The fit and finish are fantastic. The fret work is superb! This has now become my number 1 Strat! of course MRS ABS spoiled me and got it for me! I do recommend this guitar to anyone looking for a really great well rounded Strat with locking trem.
ABS :D

This one is on my radar. As a beginner, I'm attracted to the price tag, the quality, the value AND the range of tone this guitar has. Every single review/demo on Youtube gives this guitar high marks.
And after seeing yours in that stunning color! Wow.

That is a sweet guitar!

I recently purchased a Blacktop too in Candy Red w/ maple neck. Hard to beat at this price point. Nice humbucker tone and 22 frets...!

ABS,

I am converting mine to HSH configuration. All Seymour Duncan pickups. Neck pearly gates, tele neck in middle, and JB in bridge. I also plan on a push/pull switch to split the humbuckers. Just waiting on pick guard and I am ready for the mod.

For me the stick pickups are a bit too hot, going to tone them down a bit.

Lovely guitar you have there. Have fun with it.

I like the HSH combo a lot though I prefer HHH for versatility sake.

Can someone PLEASE tell your wife to stop buying you guitars. It seems every time I read a new thread started by you, your wife has spoiled you by getting you a new amp or guitar. Stop rubbing our faces in it already! Maybe I'm just jealous that my wife doesn't quite share the same level of enthusiasm... :(

Nice guitar by the way. Cheers man!
