Received the new Paisley stratocaster today. The internet seller I purchased it from did a set up and dressed the frets. Plays as nice as any of my american strats. I will change the tremelo assy to a Callaham. Will change pickups too, but, not sure yet to what. Maybe a paisley pickguard also. Notice the white tipped whammy bar. I sniveled to the seller who is going to send a black tip. He said every guitar in his second order had white tips. Way to go Fender QC, thanks for the attention to details. The first paisley strats I saw had a fsr button on the back of the head stock. The next had a gold embossed "Limited Edition" instead of the button. Mine is just plain like every normal strat. Backplate and neckplate are aftermarket. Also has swimming pool route. Form, Fit and Finish is excellent. Over all I like it, but really not that special.

Congratulations on a beautiful purchase. It's such a nice finish.

That thing is gorgeous! Your pics make it look so much better than the stock pics do. If only I had the cash or justification to get myself one...

Might not be something special, but it is a good looking nothing special I really like the paisley neck plate.
