I'm almost 29 years old

having had my small look into strats, it seems like a bit of a minefield in terms of models, differences between them, build quailty varying so much between guitars of the same year... etc etc... I'm hoping I've got a good one. Picking it up on wednesday. Ash body... i HOPE its heavy.

I figured out that I like the ugliest and least strat like strats.

Ash body... i HOPE its heavy.

If it's a Fender, it probably will be, so you won't be disappointed!  :lol:

ash with a swimming pool route. either way, it isn't going to be super light. I think I'm safe. I have a gig on thursday. I think if i showed up with the strat people would throw fits.

All the American standards I've tried recently have been nicely resonant and light - unlike the Mexican models which have been for weight lifters only (ok an exagération).
