NGD: Fender

[headlessdeadguy]

I’ve been itching for a Strat for a while but all of the cool ones have Floyd’s ( which I hate ) . I’ve been looking at these for a while and Fender is blowing them out now @ $799. Why not for a MIJ Fender? My first Strat and my first Fender.

Fixing to fire it up shortly.

For $800?

"WINNING"

Great score

So far everything is killer except the player. Lol. Tuning is stable and the bridge pickup doesn’t suck by any means. It’s taking me a while to get used to it, but it’s certainly worth every bit of $800.

Welcome to the club.
I swapped out the bridge in my MIM.
Hardware, electronics, frets, etc are all nice IMO

Update on this one. Spent most of last night playing it. I’ve never had a guitar fight me like this one but it’s a good thing. The tremolo is rock solid and the guitar itself sounds great! I’ve never had a guitar with a useful tone pot on the bridge pickup while playing high gain chugs. This one is like another eq. I abused the shit out of the tremolo and it held perfect tune. If you can grab one? Do it!
