Hello GMCers,

I have made a few posts asking questions about buying a stratocaster. My first plan was to buy a used guitar but the day before I was supposed to try the guitar, the guy sold the guitar. This situation ws pretty frustrating for me and to calm things down I've decided to go downtown at the big guitar shop (Steve's Music).

Once I was there I've tried about 20 strat, but I felt totally in love with one guitar. It's funny cause it is the firt guitar I tried. I couldn't separate myself from this guitar so I end up buying it. A nice Stratocaster American Standard. The touch, the sound where perfect everything was perfect on it.

While I was talking to the vendor, he offer me to put new strings on it and to adjust it, I asked him to install D'addario 10-46 on it. When I came home I realized that almost every fret on every tring where buuuuzzzzzzzziiiiinnnngggg.

I've tried to raise the action but it haven't change anything it still buzzing. I will have to go back to the store fixing it but I'm going to wait until tomorrow. Im still satisfied with the strat sound but I'm mad at the store cause they promise me to do all the setting properly.

Anyway here are pictures of my American Standard Stratocaster.
