my NEW guitar!

[kelvin]

i got my new guitar today --> here

i was suprised when i saw this at the first moment;
it seemed so SMALL .. i was afraid that i was cheated.
but i think its OK now...

hey guys,
how do i find out if the body really is made of ALDER?
and how do i make sure that the frets are JUMBO?

hm..
the coils seems to be staggered,
but no matter. i will change to duncans later

All American Series are made of, at least, Alder.

A strat with an original floyd...nice. You could check what the wood looks like on the inside when the pickups are changed, but I'd take fender's word for it.

I can assure you U.S.A fender floyd rose strats are from alder
the mexi strats may not be?

[Thames]

And hey! nice catch dude... !

my friend will probably sell me his fotoflame strat... japanese body, FR trem, H/S/S, US neck.

The newer MIM strat are now made of Alder... as Poplar is now pricier than Alder... that's why Poplar shouldn't be considered as a "cheap" wood, just different.

Here's a different model (no trem, 3 SCs), but same finish :

Oh, and it has a 22 frets all-maple neck (not rosewood)
