no my taste I'm a jackson man but good luck on the guitar it looks nice

Posted by: skennington Jan 27 2009, 02:23 AM

Jackson's is what I play 90% of the time, but fell the need to a have a Fender for some reason. Just can't justify it with the way the US economy is right now. Who knows what tomorrow may bring..

Very nice!
I want one too!

Posted by: UncleSkillet Jan 27 2009, 04:06 AM

I have one. If you come to visit some time I will let you play it.

If you play one you might sell your Jackson

If I do say so myself.....Once a Jackson guitarist....always a jackson guitarist

I get that way to and I guess it is just because everyone else around here has one. Then I remember I am not very good with the Schecter I have now. And there is the fact that I would have to use it as a wife if I bought one because the one I have now would not stick around.

My nephew bought himself one of those when he worked at GC. He only paid cost for it which is about half.

If it will make me play like you, I'll buy it.. Kidding of course, I just love the set-up. I have 2 Jackson's, 1 with maple and the other with rosewood fret boards. My Agile also has a rosewood fret board. I played a Mexi Strat with an ebony board and really liked the tone. I can only imagine what the USA model sounds like. And the H-S-S looks like so much versatility!





I'm with you man, I used the word "Justify" a bit lightly...

The high-end USA H-S-S models are just amazing! The pickups are OK but I would really like to swap mine out for some Dimarzio's.

But as far as how they feel in your hand and react to a tube amp it is just amazing! It's like trying to play a melting stick of butter.

I'm not a Fender fan but this one is beautifull man!!!
The color of the body is just amazing

Posted by: Emir Hot Jan 27 2009, 08:58 AM

Looks great. I am sure it plays good

Posted by: Dejan Farkas Jan 27 2009, 09:01 AM

I like guitars without pickguard, this one is a beauty

Posted by: superize Jan 27 2009, 09:02 AM

Nice looking guitar.....

Posted by: Velvet Roger Jan 27 2009, 09:20 AM

Nobody needs to convince me of playing a Fender .. and this model looks pretty cool.

Posted by: MickeM Jan 27 2009, 09:24 AM

That's one Fender model that looks just great!!! ...now I want one too

Posted by: Piotr Kaczor Jan 27 2009, 09:32 AM

Beautiful stuff!

Posted by: Toni Suominen Jan 27 2009, 09:40 AM

I have the same problem, I want a Strat so bad but can't afford it right now

Posted by: Mandos Jan 27 2009, 09:45 AM

Wow. You should buy me one.

Posted by: Smells Jan 27 2009, 09:59 AM

Nice! I like it without the pickguard, go on, treat yourself, you know you deserve it!

Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Jan 27 2009, 11:45 AM

I don't usually like Fenders w/o pickguard, but this has a great finish. I hope you get it mate!

Posted by: Fran Jan 27 2009, 03:22 PM

Interesting, a HSS strat with a maple top, nice, nice.

Posted by: berko Jan 27 2009, 03:43 PM

Wow, what a temptation... Looks like it's in good condition and is waiting for the hug of a guitarist

When I'm about to get seduced by such beauties I always tell myself that life happens only once and a new baby could be considered an investment The thing is that surely you live once... and it's a sad but true story not having enough cash to fork out even in your only life. That's when I end up not having a new gear-day even at xmas or my birthday. [<-- bittersweet giggling]

Not my cup of tea...

Posted by: skennington Jan 27 2009, 05:00 PM

That's what I said...My current wife had other thoughts though.. .

Posted by: Sensible Jones Jan 27 2009, 05:23 PM

You do realise that I'd end up trying to tempt her into having an affair with me, don't you????

Posted by: Muris Varajic Jan 27 2009, 07:19 PM

Looks nice indeed, hope you'll have it one day.

Posted by: Caelumamittendum Jan 27 2009, 07:50 PM

I actually said to my girlfriend today (been with her 2 years, so it's quite serious): "I actually quite want a olympic white Fender USA Stratocaster." Her reply was: "I've always wanted you to have a Fender Stratocaster! I think you should get one!"

Unfortunately it's kinda out of my budget.

Posted by: skennington Jan 27 2009, 09:35 PM

I think she would like the attention

Posted by: Kaneda Feb 5 2009, 12:39 AM

Aw, can't see the picture. Have an American Deluxe myself (Montego Black), but I guess it's a bit of a trip from the U.S. to try it

However... I really don't believe in humbuckers on a Strat



If you hadn't known already, that's when you know it's serious

Posted by: Pedja Simovic Feb 5 2009, 02:14 AM

Great looking guitar, you will be lucky if you get it

Posted by: skennington Feb 5 2009, 02:35 AM

Thanks guys but just out of my wallet's reach at the moment. One day though, I will have one of these!
