Today I bit the bullet and decided to thin my herd. I ended trading my beloved Highway 1 and my not so beloved Modern Player Telecaster for a 2013 American Standard Sienna Burst HSS with Rosewood neck. Man this thing is a tone monster. I did not have enough money to bring it home with me today; however, I should have it in a few weeks. I will post pics as soon as possible.

I cannot wait to get it home.

Details:

2013 Fender American Standard. I was planning to purchase a Fender replacement neck and body to build my own Strat. When I was at the store, I quickly figured out that buying an American Standard and switching the Humbucker out with something different would be far less expensive for the same guitar. I asked them if they had a HSS in Mystic Red, they said the only one they had that was HSS was in Sienna Burst. After playing it I put money down on it. Today I picked it up. I did get to play it through a Fender Mustang IV and a EVH 5150 amp. Through both amps it sounded awesome. I have been jamming off and on all day today, and I think I am going to keep the Diamondback humbucker. BTW I love the Fat 50's in the middle and bridge, but I knew I would as I already have them in my Highway 1 Strat. THe only modifications I AM planning is my usual; locking tuners and strap locks. Other than that I am extremely pleased with this instrument.

Edit: forgot to mention that I picked a killer used 2007 Highway 1 today for $380. Man this thing is exactly like the one I traded in (sarcasm). This thing is tricked out including the locking tuners, Fat 50's, and "F" neck plate. They told me some guy traded it in along with another guitar to help pay for his new guitar.

Ok so my old guitar was still in the shop with a tag that said $699. I asked him what kind of deal he could do for me. He told me he would sell it back to me for what he paid for it + the cost of the tune-up they did to it. So I put 20 percent down on 380 dollars. I should have it back in a month. I love the guys I do business with.

Wish I had made that deal with my Tele Plus years way back. They doubled the money they gave me for it in trade for a used Clapton in awesome condition, when they put it on the wall. I just didn't have the extra cash. Nice that you could cut your cake and eat it too. That Sienna Burst is a killer. Enjoy.

It wasn't my intentions, heck I know they need to make money. But this is why I go to this store, they treat me very well there.

That story made me smile as I miss the old music store where I live that used to work this way. Hard times and chain stores killed them I guess.

Sounds a lot like GC. At least that sounds like the same great treatment that I get there. :wink:

Knowing what you're doing makes all the difference. :wink:

I think that they might call 'em "Mom and Pop" shops because the people expect to be babied when they go there, and not have to do things for themselves. :lol:

Most definitely not GC. Although the North Houston store has improved, not that much. This is Texas Music Emporium.
