NGD.... It arrived today, more or less direct from the factory, One Mexican built Vintage Blonde Fender Stratocaster Deluxe with Maple neck...
Ordered on-line as a birthday present by the one who approves these sorts of purchases and it basically came 3 weeks late .... and HELL YEAH I'm not complaining on the delay and loving playing it !! I'm gunna go with the idea that this was built on the day of my birthday and it simply took 3 weeks to get into my hands....
It sounds as it should, the standard C shape neck feels slightly thicker than I'm used to but it's way fine to hold and play, and I'm sure I'll get used to it... Vintage Blonde is everything I expected it to be with a slight showing of the Ash grain through the finish. Sweet as satin finish on a very clean Maple neck, Fender locking tuners, 2 point trem big block bridge, neck heel cutaway, three vintage noiseless PU's, S1 switch (adds bridge PU to pos# 4 & 5), 22 well finished frets, action and intonation out of the box near perfect ....
But there is something amiss visually, and I can't quite put my finger over it....
