Just got my dream strat!

Just about a year ago I walked into a local music store and saw a beautiful strat on display. It was a Fender Hot Rod '62 in Sherwood Green. I gave it a test run and knew right away that everything about it was perfect. Went back into the store and found out a local musician bought that guitar the very next day!

I finally managed to save up some money and placed an order for the guitar in Sherwood Green about a month ago. Just picked it up over the weekend and I was not disappointed. The thing plays like butter! Only thing that I will do is install the Antiquity Surfer set that I have lying around (even though the stock pickups are very good). I love new stuff! :)

Cheers,
Jeremy

Re: Just got my dream strat!

nice! a guy i know had one of those that was a real player and i loved the color but hes a dumb ass and had/has a gambling problem and hocked it. i was pissed, i woulda loved to get my hands on that guitar. the stock pups are nice but the surfers complete the package.

congrats bro, enjoy the new toy
 
Re: Just got my dream strat!

if it was me buying a 62 hotrod strat i'd almost be tempted to leave it stock... at least use at is until the new-ness has worn off and see how much you like the original PU's... those stock PU's in that model are nice..
 
Re: Just got my dream strat!

I love that model/color. If I ever own a Strat (unlikely, since I'm a Tele guy) that would be it.

Enjoy your Sherwood Green Strat!
 
Re: Just got my dream strat!

Here's a couple more photos that were taken, had to rush out earlier so I didn't get them all up. Thanks for the compliments!
 
Re: Just got my dream strat!

I got a good deal on a sunburst not long ago ... I'd like to change the pickups, 'cause they're a bit underwound at ~ a little less than 6K -- in fact they are less than the original specs I've seen for '62s, which were ~6.2K .. not much, but it does make a little difference.

I'm not sure whether I'll use Cal 50s or Surfers.
 
Re: Just got my dream strat!

I fell in love with that same strat when it first came out....still want one someday.
 
Re: Just got my dream strat!

I like it! That is a great color! :fing2:

I also like Daphney Blue and 3 tone Sunbursts. :)
 
Re: Just got my dream strat!

Thing is I don't like Green guitars in general, however IV always thought Green looked good in Strats and yours my friend is no different (unless by different you mean even better :D)

Great Strat, great score, ENJOY! :)
