DAS44 Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Well if any of you remember a whle back I started a thread about a mahogany strat I played, and loved. Since then I got a job.... This 'un So I go to GC (sorry but thats the only place that had it, and this onee plays fantastically). They were having some technical difficulties so, it took a while of me sitting there, impatient and struggling not to jump off the walls waiting for them to figure it out. After the fact I ended up with $100 off and a free pack of strings for my trouble. Get it home, immediately blown away. The cleans are fantastic, absolutley amazing. They have a kind of twang to them that I just cant get enough of. Now it has the S1 switching system (or some similar fancy lingo.). . The system gives it a lot of variety that I'm loving. The dirtier of the sounds I get, perfection. Not too up front in your face, but lighter, more Texas bluesy sounds. I honestly love this thing. ChanMan suggested I use the neck pup without the S1, oh man was that a good suggestion! Loving the look too, the red is just amazing, shows the grain really really well. Didn't remember that it had a roller nut, but I'm not complaining. Unfortunatley, after playing it for 3 and a half solid hours my dad kicked me off 'cause he wanted to watch the Celtics v Lakers gamer (which I am about to go watch with him). My joy, cut so short. My sister took the family camera to Haiti with her and Ill get pics as soon as I get the camera back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silenced Fred Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Sweet stuff man, I need to get a Strat, might just put pickups in mine, or might end up buying one. I love the feel of mine, so I might just upgrade it. Those things are sweet though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChanMan Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Not to steal Dom's thunder, but to appease the crowd, perhaps a teaser? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShredAstaire Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Yes Chan I like yours too!! That's two! Is this the beginning of GAS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChanMan Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 I'd have bought it for the tone off the neck pup alone. Everything else was just gravy. I can't wait to see Dom's guitar... they truly are gorgeous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevef Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Congrats Dom.. Enjoy it. At least this time you got to "Try Before You Buy".. FYI your friends at Lark Street have a few strats. They have a '63 candy apple red one that was quite nice. My son got them to take it off the wall so he could tool around with it. It's only $33,500. http://www.larkstreetmusic.com/list/pict/63CARc.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAS44 Posted June 18, 2010 Author Share Posted June 18, 2010 Aye FM, if you get a chance to play one, GO FOR IT. Well Steve, the A-50 is fantastic, took a leap and it worked out well. :) Thanks for that <Looks in couch for $> umm Can someone spot me $33,499.75?
