Disclaimer....More pics will come later. Freaking post man woke me up and the box got thumped on so I went ahead and opened it. I'll restring it and post more pix later.

I'll get more excited when I wake up the rest of the way. Here's a small taste of some lefty goodness.

I think it's left-hander's week myself - have all you cack-handed freaks won the lottery, or what?

Thanks guys. I'll take more pics once I actually put it down long enough to it take some! I was really apprehensive on buying it. Me+Stock Fender anything usually = Sad Face. The toothpick C shape they use kills my hand. I don't know if it's just an oddball, or the CNC needed new tools the day this neck was made, but it's got some chunk to it and I'm fine with it.

I've had it just over 24 hours and I can already say without a doubt that it's getting new pickups in very short order. It's got a set from Chandler in it at the moment and they are weak and aren't very responsive. I've got a few other mods planned for it as well. I've already got my complete vintage spec Strat, so this one will get some more "modern" appointments once it's all done.

Yeah. I started the deal on this one about a week before I ordered the Studio. We exchanged quite a few PM's getting all the minute details worked out. Then, he was on vacation when the money order came in and he shipped it parcel post. So yeah, it took a bit, but it was worth it.
