Hello,

I recently traded for a 2003 Fender Stratocaster MIM Special Edition. I gave up an Epiphone Les Paul Goth Model and a Hondo Revival Les Paul that I have had since 1983. I was somewhat attached emotionally to the guitars I gave up but I wanted a Fender really bad and the money was too tight right now to pay cash. So, I worked out a trade.
Here are the specs I obtained on the Fender Strat that I obtained by emailing the serial number to the fine folks at Fender. After looking at the specs of my Strat please give yout thoughts and opinions on the Strat and its specs and also your thoughts about my trade.

Thanks. By the way, I am new to the forum and look forward to following it. My specs for my Fender listed below:

Commenting on the Trade now would be moot.

Suffice it to say that a successful trade happens when both Parties are satisfied as seems to be the case here.

GL w/ your new Strat !

cheers!
