Oh no lol I didnt get it only drooled I cant throw out almost $4000 for a strat right now.
:D I wish I wish but alas I spent that money out in taxes and vehicle repairs this month.
But if I had my choice I would have recieved this strat for the money I spent.
I just been lookin at it on ebay and Music 123

I dont think I will ever own a 21 fret again I hated it back in 1980 when I had my 76.
I wouldnt like it now any better.

Heh! :lol: I used to have a similar view, but now have an uprated Highway 1 with the big headstock, and kinda like it. Refinished with a candy apple sparkle, maple/maple neck, HSS, black guard, covers and knobs... it just screams 70s!

I don't care if it offers switchable sustain like an ebow, large headstocks are hideous...

Well Luke Piewalker your in a minority alot of people want them alot of people dont but most know there is a choice.
Most people like them for thier historical value seeing as they were in the hands of some of the greatest strat players of all time.
Not to mention a bigger headstock means more sustain. Leo Fender actually added the large headstock and the 3 bolt neck before selling Fender to CBS.
These were to be his last contributions to the Fender Stratocaster design.

Jimi Hendrix played a 66 almost exclusivly
