She arrived about 90 minutes ago, and I haven't been able to put her down since. The guitar arrived in tune (via UPS ground from CA to NJ), and I played for an hour and 1/2 and didn't have to re-tune it one bit! This alone should tell you how amazing the quality on this guitar is. I even used the trem a bit as well ;). The fit, finish and fretwork is absolutely perfect and the guitar plays effortlessly. The body is ash, wish is usually a bit bright, but I find this one to be pretty balanced with just the right about of strat spank. The fat 50's pickups are dead quiet and great for nailing that vintage vibe, while sounding a bit....fat (lol) compared to true vintage pups. I'm soo glad this thing has 6105's on it :D . Anyway, here are some pics:

PS: the relicing on this guitar is just right IMO. It's not too over done like some others I've seen.
 
Nice brother!

When I buy another strat, it's going to be one of the custom shops for sure!

Are you still getting the other relic done?

yup! I wasn't planning on getting this strat, and was actually thinking about flipping it (if I didn't love it). This guitar has floored me and I'm going to change my 30th St custom a bit. It's going to have a HB in the bridge now ;) . I stopped by the store last week to check on the progress and it looks great so far. The Brazzy board has some killer swirly grain going on.

I love strats, but there's no need for me to have to s/s/s guitars.

Beautiful, I'd love to run that thing thru a Bassman and play Texas Flood. :rock:
