well, it was Saturday, actually, but I didn't even plan to get a guitar! I went in for an eBow, and then I saw this MIM FSR on the wall in this not-quite-pink, not-really-white, not-even-pale-lavender, somewhat-translucent finish with the grain ever-so-visible...

I stroked the back of the neck, and it felt fine. I saw it was a MIM FSR Standard, and they called it 'white blonde.' Okay, I'd give it a shot for this interesting, unique in the whole store finish, so I took it off the wall.

She played wonderfully, comparing favorably to my Strat Plus. The electronics were... not as good, but good enough. I plan to upgrade the electronics/pups, the tuners, and the trem block.

but as I said, I hadn't gone in for a guitar, and was about to put her back when I noticed the price was $150 off the usual $500, so I had to take her home! $350 and I felt like I was robbing them; this was seriously an excellently built MIM as far as the body and neck were concerned.

Nice! Looks just like White Blonde to me, and one of my favorite finishes.
