I decided to take advantage of some of the deals on the last of the 2008 model strats and ordered a new 2010/2011 strat in charcoal frost metallic with maple neck (always loved that colour!!)

Given that the only differences between the 2012 models and the outgoing series seem to be the pickups and aged plastic parts I thought it was too good an opportunity to pass up.

By getting the outgoing model i've saved £150.00, which, if i don't fancy the standard pickups, I can spend on getting some other pickups of my own choice.

Pictures to follow when I receive it.......

Nice! Looking forward to the pics!

im also looking at getting a charcoal frost metallic with the maple neck just like the one your getting.

I wouldnt mind also getting the jade pearl metallic with the maple neck also!

and post some pictures!
