Good choice mate. Are you keeping that pickguard on?

Yes, I like to keep it original.
Anyway this guitar is for home use only

Also I'm a Stevie fan, if he wanted to have his name on his signature guitar like that I have to respect that.

Some people don't like that pickuard, that's understandable... change the thing then, no problem, everybody does with his guitars what he wants. I don't care if you eat it

But I pitty the fool that says playing with that pickguard is equal to pretending to be Stevie because ... although there are a lot of dumb f###s on this planet, nobody can be ever that stupid to really believe he can pretend to be Stevie, right ?

Wait a minute ... Einstein :
"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe."

Ok, let's say it's possible ... but really really improbable )

So when we assume that the chance is really really improbable somebody is THAT stupid we can also assume that somebody playing with that pickguard is not pretending to be Stevie
So that should not be a reason to remove it.

But ofcourse, a really good reason to change the pickguard would be if you have a really big shoe size... but that's just logical, everybody knows that.

ahahahah thats the best reply ever

Hi 4ntiClock: congrats on the purchase.

Since you plumped for the SRV do tell us how that left-hand whammy feels under your hand? I've never tried it myself, but heard contradictory views about that feature.

Cheers - C

Hej,

thanks, here's what I think of it :
For testing I remembered that I had to put in the whammy, so I've put it in.
And then I completely forgot it was there
I tried palm muting... no problem.
Now I'm not a big whammy user, but I think the adjustment for me will be easy to none.

Maybe for someone who is already a heavy whammy addict and has been playing for years and years it could take longer to adjust... no idea.

Anyway I like it, not because it's easier or harder, but just because it's a wink to my 2 favorite guitar gods

grtz

Haha - nice way to put it! Two birds with one stone.

Enjoy that Strat.

Cheers - C

I like the pickguard. It's just that at gigs or jams, the initials may be a burdon. I'd definitely keep it on at home if I had one. In fact I still want one. My mate bought one of the first run. It must have been about "90. They're great, enjoy yours.
Goodonya ...Mark.
