Phew...after countless visits to many places it all came together last Saturday. There we were, my bandmate playing through all the Strats in the shop AGAIN and still as confused. There'd been a fair amount of coming and going, a new arrival of gear being delivered. Owner comes over and says he's got some new Strats arrive, Special Edition ones. So we take a look and ooohhhhweeeee
These new (for us in UK anyway) Special Edition Std Am Strats are gorgeous. He settled with a Daphne Blue one. Played like a dream, sounded superb and looks fabulous, really classy.
It's a good thing I didn't have my cards with me

but at least I'll get my MIJ Strat back
Anyone else here checked these out?
