I got this one on its way probably be here Monday or Tuesday.

Didnt want a HSS wanted SSS but I have a new mint green with aged white parts pickguard I just built with Seymour Duncan Antiquity Texas Hots in it to go on this anyway. Locking tuners and strap locks too.

This is probably my last guitar being 50 now and having 2 Les Pauls and 2 Strats along with 2 Marshalls I cant see needing anything else. I wanted this one to be new and only mine, so it is.

I just today bought a 2003 USA Fat Strat Texas Special. Looks exactly like your picture. BTW, I'm 67 and I've bought 4 guitars in the last 60 days. Someone has misinformed you.

A convenient ruse to foil the prying eyes of one's significant other.

Not really she is my biggest fan, been watching me play since Jr High. I actually used her account to order it. Usually I had my brother in law grab them off my porch but I moved accross town to a newer bigger house. So he is not an option now. I just figured work be better than sitting out on the porch.

Don't start lying to yourself. You know that this is not the end. :wink:

By the way, I have a buyer for my '76 Strat. He tells me that it's exactly what he's looking for. I will now order a mystic blue American Strat Deluxe Plus. :D

After 30 years, I keep thinking, "That's it, I'm done. I have all the guitars I coulde ever want of need." I am a bad lier. :wink:

I don't think its the end of buying gear. I just don't need more electric guitars at this point. We have a truckload of PA and such marshals and all. I think I will get a Fender P bass and drum machine for my new 32 track studio. Someday I'm sure it will be just me in the band.

Ok here it is fresh out of the box. The sunburst is darker than my Highway 1 was. I kinda like that.

I did not like the Humbucker so I put in my pickguard with Duncan Antiquity Texas Hot.

Locking tuners and strap locks.

Plays great I really dig it.
