I don't usually do this, and in fact I don't think that I've ever started a NGD thread, but this one is something extra special.

I just received my 60th Ann Commemorative Strat, from Sweetwater. It is awesome, in every way, looks, feel, features and sound. The specs are listed online, so no need to list here. I have only played it for an hour or so, but long enough to know that it is perfect. Paired with a Bassman, this guitar sounds soooo sweet! Sweetwater took pictures of it before shipping to me, and their pictures are much better than the ones that I take (lighting is everything), so here are some pics of my actual guitar.

Looks like hand-select ash.

Absolutely stunning!

Rawk on!

That is just beautiful. I am quite jealous. There is another fellow who posted a picture of his 60th anniversary '54 strat that is also a looker. I am loving the ash bodies and hardware on these strats!

That was very nice of them to go the extra mile, and an example of their level of care for the customers. Sweetwater is the best, great products, great policies, great personal customer service, and they really know the gear as they all have backgrounds in music/gear. :D

I agree with this 100%! I recently purchased a MIM Strat from Sweetwater and was pretty darn impressed with the photos as well as the overall level of their service and the "extra mile" communication that they provide. They have some high quality stuff there as evidenced by your photos.

You got a very nice new guitar there. Love the grain pattern of the Ash!

This guitar looks luxurious in every detail; the addition of a comfortable compound radius neck is a bonus making chording and bending effortlessly easy.
