Well after many hours contemplating it I finally went and ordered another Strat through my local guitar shop.

This one : http://www.fender.com/en-NZ/guitars/str ... ard-black/

Yeah just a USA standard but man do I love them and hey one more cant hurt........ can it? :?

Picks will be posted as soon as she arrives ... should be a week or two.

Can't go wrong with 'basic' black and maple furniture.

Rawk on!

Yeah my thinking and the truth be told I do need another work horse guitar for live work.
So it will have some things changed but not much, just locking machine heads etc.

Congrats Stonehart. I got the exact same mode and colour about a month or so ago. I love it. Sounds and plays beautifully.

Oh and I love the black and maple. Looks even better in real life.

Enjoy!

One of the most enjoyable parts of getting a new guitar is waiting for it to arrive! Well...then there is taking it out of the box too!
