The Special one

The no-entry yesterday was the distraction above- my new Fender American Special Stratocaster. I was contemplating a rosewood fretboard initially but I guess I am more accustomed to a maple fretboard Fender.

nice! I have a 2006 American Strat that is butterscotch blonde. predates the Fender American-to-American-Standard revamp/remodel. easiest neck I've ever played. I've always loved strat guitars over Les Paul guitars. don't get me wrong. I don't dislike Les Pauls, I just prefer Strats. The strat shape is just so sexy to me. Must be why I also have two strat-shaped Ibanezes (RGA121 and RG770DX

i prefer Strats/ Teles as well, it's everything to do with the neck feel. Les Pauls are great guitars to own but for me it's not as utilitarian as the aforementioned guitars.
