The GAS kicked in and the postman delivered a very nice looking STA-1 with blemish free Ash body and Rosewood fretboard.

I decided to spend a bit of money on this one to find out a bit more about the technology and upgrades you blokes talk about.

I have plan in mind. The inspiration came from me playing Hank Marvin / The Shadows stuff as I can't sing so the guitar has to do it. You can guess RED but not Hank red. I am going dark wine red (stain with TruOil) again with black fittings all round. If anyone in WA sees Hank please tell him he is welcome to try it out - 'hihi'. It will have a whammy bar.

The upgrades are as follows:
Black upgrade, Electrics upgrade - PB stuff, Tonerider TRS3 Classic Blues,
Grover Rotomatics upgrade, Babicz FCH Strat Tremolo
