That's a chunky sounding Strat - very nice!

D-R-O-O-L




7.3 lb is heavy for a strat!  The average weight of a 60s strat is 7.6 lb

I couldn't import it, even if I had the cash and actually wanted a Strat.  Neither of which are true!  :lol:

Brazilian Rosewood is now impossible to import into the EU.

Oh, and it isn't blue  ;)

Looks and sounds great, I even like the gold pickguard. Sounds real fat for a strat, I wonder how much of that is the amp?

A lot of the big tone will be the rosewood neck...

Good news is that it does not appear to be for sale on their site...

Perhaps Dave has already been to California?

I watched that video last night, it is indeed a very lovely Strat!

I've never seen an all rosewood strat before, and from the clips in the video it sounds fantastic!

I'm going to convince myself I don't want it my complaining about the narrow neck width at the nut and the fingerboard radius

there ya go, I don't want it now
