Love that burst! Why do they call it a Fat Strat?

Re: Just Bought This Fender

SSS=Strat
HSS=Fat Strat
HH=Double Fat Strat

BTW, George, I love your avatar! I just got AVP from Netflix and I have watched it 3 times already. Great flick.

[/ QUOTE ]Hey Chuck, how are you likin' that Cray Strat? Parkway music has a killer CS Cray on their site. The only thing that stopped me from going after that one was the vintage frets. Can't figure out why they put vintage frets on one signature Cray and MJ frets on another signature Cray.

Congrats, that is beautiful! I've been really jonesing for a Strat lately. I was in GC yesterday and played a MIM (one maple, one rosewood, confirming I want maple), a USA Standard, a SRV, and a Jimmy Vaughan. I really thought the JV was a sweet guitar for the money. I'm with you fritz, after playing all those (none through an amp, going for neck feel first) I've decided that whichever Strat I get has to have the MJ frets.

Re: Just Bought This Fender

Check out a Mexican Cray. I wouldn't pay for a CS Cray as it does have the tiny frets.
Seriously, this guitar smokes. Look at the caliber of guitars I've bought and sold, and look at what I'm keeping...
I want another one to sink a humbucker in.

Sweet!! [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img] I've been loving my USA Double Fat Strat Hardtail lately. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] I really want another Strat, but I need something now with either an Original Floyd or the Fender/Floyd locking trem.

What is the route on your Cray, Chuck?

Re: Just Bought This Fender

Three single with the "worm" route, just like a proper Fender Strat. It doesn't have the extra holes under the pickguard and in the neck pocket like most of the Mexi Strats do. It's extremely well built.

Real nice Fritz!

Re: Just Bought This Fender

Nice guitar, really nice. I'd like to have a fat strat one day, but then with a FR, because the vintage trems don't stay in tune with my kind of abuse... but this is a really nice guitar, nice finish!!!
