It's no 1971 Strat with Alnico 4s but it'll do..

Awesome Strat! One of my favorite color combos with an all Maple neck! I really like the modern 2 point bridge as well. Enjoy!

Me too other than the bridge, that does me no good. I lock that sucker down on em.. I'm a bender and vibrato guy and that trem drives me nuts..

Ha! I love that trem, but then again, I'm perfectly content with my Tele bridge that you couldn't say anything nice about

What pickups are in that one again?

Maybe a Tele with a Gibson bridge and I'd be on it.. I tried to love the Tele lol!

I love the neck and middle and the in between tones so far.. I am thinking about buying a Lil Pearly Gates from the Custom Shop for the bridge..
I just don't like Strat bridges even with the tone knob wired to it.. I am a humbucker guy..
I'm gonna play it a little bit first and make my decision then.. I bought it mainly for blues and blue rock stuff..
It sounds fantastic thru my Fly Rig 5 though..

What are the sustain blocks on those Am Std vibratos made from these days? The material always used to be a weak spot. So were the blocky compressed powdered steel saddles.

The specs say copper infused solid steel tone block.. I know that Callaham doesn't much care for em and he says they are inferior.
I know this sounds a ton better than the MIM Strat I bought last year and kept about 3 weeks..
