MAYBE... we'll see.


My music shop will call me as soon as they recieve it. It's a Fender American Special HSS sunburst Strat.

It's been on display on the FUZZ guitar show and I'm getting it unless it's been squeezed to destruction. My thoughs are that Fender most likerly sorted out the ones with twigs in the body and this one is a little better than average

Hoping there will be no sad news like; oops the neck broken in two during transport.
After they check it and find it to be in top condition I'm getting it at a discount price. I suppose it's been professionally set up already before the guitar show so that's a couple of bucks in it too. And I don't have to do it, unprofessionally myself


Have to add, it's my first American strat.

I'm really liking these mate, be interested to hear what you think of them, I think the spec is outrageously good at the price they are charging!
In fact i might go try one today!

Fail!
When they unpacked the box at the store there was a SSS with a maple neck. NOT what I wanted

He suggested I go for an American Standard instead, has that little extra so I will stand satisfied for a life time or so

Desicions desicions.
