Noiseless pups, ash body.
Has that real chimey EJ thing going on.

Congratulations! Those are some of the most praiseworthy guitars to ever come out of the Mexican plant. They consistently got a high marks from just about every corner of the guitar playing community. Did that case come with it?

Congrats! That is a fantastic, classy Strat!

 

[Mikelamury]

Nice! I like the color.

Yes case included. Back in 2002 companies wern't screwing people w/o a case.
Plus my local vintage shop guy is Aces been dealing with him 20 years.
You know when i was a kid one of the coolest things about musical instruments was the case.
Sad that guitar cases are not included even with $1300 guitars.
Wish we could get back to that.
The color on this guitar is called Honey Blonde.

Needs a black or white pickguard . . . but very nice strat!

I remember those. Played one in the transparent blue, looked like the Bonnie Raitt sig Strat. Very nice guitars. The "neck-on" button switch is a nice added feature.

If I am shopping for a used strat, is there a functional difference between 6 point and 2 point trems?

I know that traditionally they have been six point. Do they sound different? Better tuning stability?

I've never noticed a sonic difference- they can be set up to have the same tuning stability, but I did find it easier to set up the 2 point bridge.

i dont have a big preference either way, but im not a big trem user

You can get the six point to function as a two point bridge. I've got both bridges and I don't hear a difference between the two of them. Tuning stability can be equal between them but other factors weigh in on getting that stability.
