Sadly this is the only burst in my stable at the moment. Really love a Strat with a good burst and a rosewood board though.

This isn’t the best photo but this is my first Strat, a 2005 American Deluxe in 3TSB which I bought new and still have. I didn’t set out to get sunburst or maple fretboard, but when I saw it it just said ‘Strat’ to me. And it sounded great through the Marshall combo amp at the store.
