  • My new feature

    I haven't been active here for months. In this time, a lot of things changed. I distanced completely away from metal scene, so now I'm into indie, alter and post rock, noise, emo and blues.

    So to fit my style and preferences, I just had to get a guitar that would do the best. I really liked Strats for a long time, so I told myself, what the heck, I'll get one for myself.

    First I was very sure that Highway series are for me, but when I tried the American series, I knew this is the one.

    So here's the beauty:

    I really like the American series, since Standards just don't feel right for me (I think it's just in my head). It's olympic white finish with maple neck. The price was app. 1000 USD (bought new) and it's the first American olympic white with maple neck in my country from the only dealer (other second-hand and black market stuff aren't included).
    I waited for it for about two weeks. It came directly from USA to Holland, and then directly to me. This is amazing ... Everything went as expected. I was surprised that the case and other minor things were included.

    There were no compromises - I wanted olympic white with maple, so I got it.

    It plays amazing, stays in tune like it should, no intonation problems, easy to tweak, very good belt balancing ... Just perfect for me.

    Now I'm thinking of getting a Twin Amp for me, but first I need to cover the expenses of the guitar.

        very very cool guitar!

        That's almost the exact same guitar I want to buy, but I'm going the cheaper way: Standard (mex) in Arctic White with maple neck.. it's still 450 euro (I wished I lived in the US, it's only $350 there)

        anyway, awesome guitar, congrats

          http://www.sullyville.net/guitars/im...ull_recent.jpg

          it originally started out like yours with 3 single coils, but i routed it out jake e lee style in early 2004.

          enjoy it!

              Olympic white is one of my favorite solid colors for a guitar.

                Very nice, that is my favorite color on Fender Strats with a Maple Neck. Enjoy!

                  I like it. That is the classic combination for a Fender Strat. Now you need to get either a Twin, a Super or a Deluxe Reverb. Also, for much less money you should check out the Ultra Chorus.

                      Thanks, guys! I love olympic white, but first I wasn't sure which neck would suit the white finish the best. So I decided to buy maple. I like one-piece necks.

                      Sorry, guys, but Twin is a bit out of my money reach, but today I ordered Hot Rod DeVille 212 amp, just to test the combination. I played my strat on a Deluxe and it sounded fantastic.

                      Oh yes, I found the white finish very universal ... You can play easy-listening in a hotel hall or you can do the stoner things on a bassy crunch distortion. It's a wild guitar.

                        I have two, a Teal green Roadhouse strat with maple neck and an HM strat aqua blue with maple neck.

                          The Oly white is one of my favorite finishes for the US strats! Congrats.
