Hey guys!

As some if you know, I've had this guitar on order and I went to collect it this afternoon. This is my first ever brand new guitar. It is AMAZING. Let's just say this Strat and my Orange TH30 are an awesome pairing.

Here's some pictures from my iPhone. This is probably the sexiest Rosewood board I've see , let alone owned. In person it looks like it's on FIRE :twisted:

The finish is just breath taking. My new baby.

Congrats on a beauty and that rosewood is striking. I'd give that neck a Schweet on the T2 Scale :!: :!: I love that Blue!

These MIM 60's Classic Series Guitars seem to often have some great looking wood on them. Here is the headstock from my 60's Classic Series and this figuring runs about 1/3 down the neck.

One perfect looking Stratocaster. I love the grain of the rosewood and the great looking blue of the body.
Congrats and enjoy!

All the best,
Robin

I've noticed that about a lot of the MIM Strats. And the nice thing about Sweetwater, you get to pick your wood so to speak using the Guitar Gallery.

This is on a MIM Standard Strat.

Beautiful guitar; congrats! I had a Lake Placid/maple strat and it was breath-taking. Thanks for stoking the seller's remorse! Play it like you stole it.

Lovely guitar! Very nice!! Interesting rosewood board. Those Classic Series are very high quality and have very good pickups.
