Well, I bought one of these back in late February and just now got around to opening the box and taking photos. Here it is.

It was much better packed than my 2009 Gibson Les Paul Traditional. And the case candy is unbelievable compared to the Gibson. It has the nice lacquer smell and the vintage case is great. It has a lot of wax build-up on the pickups so I am assuming wax potted. The serial number is on the neck plate which is cool.
Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Hi -first time poster here !

I picked one of these up yesterday and from the limited play I've had on it plays and sounds great - I currently have 3 other strats ('06 AmSe, '81 International Colours and a MIM CP60). As a long term maiden fan, this is the guitar I've been waiting for them to bring out for 20+ Years.

Interestingly mine came with a aged white switch tip - I'm going to change it to a black one, I guess it's "specification may vary" things!.

Can't wait to get some more play time on it.

Awesome! I would love to be able to afford one of these. I guess I'll just have to keep playing my own version. :(

I am from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. I ordered this baby from St. John's Music. It was $2199.99 Canadian, plus the 12% tax. You can also get them from Long and McQuade for the same price.
