After playing for more than 35 years, owning Les Pauls, a Gibson ES-335, a Rickenbacker, a few Gretsch, and a few Fender Telecasters, I had never owned a strat. That has recently changed, as I just bought a new American Deluxe Fender Strat. I switched out the pick guard because I didn't like the red marble one, and I had to do the setup myself. For $1700, that should never happen. Anyway, here it is. Sorry the picture is a bit fuzzy.

Nice guitar, congrats.

I was myself a Les Paul player for ages .. until I tried (and bought) my 1982 Dan Smith Strat.

Its like: I like blond girls, ... no wait, I prefer brunettes.

Its that sort of thing, isn't it? :D

Wow, that's exactly what it's like! I was a blonde fan (still am) when I was younger, but I like brunettes best now.

I've always wanted to say this. My new strat plays like butter!

Hi Larry, congrats! I was a Les Paul player too when I was younger but I'm definitely a Strat man now.

Enjoy!

It's like if you ate lobster every day, at some point you'd long for a hot dog.
