So the man just came to the door with my new toy!
I saw it at the store last Friday and loved it but didn't buy it, but then changed my mind on Tuesday only to find that they'd sold the one I saw BUT there was another one at a store in Melbourne that I could have and...
So it's been a couple of hours now, and I think it's hands down the best non-used Strat I've played. They've figured out a winning formula with these American Vintage II 61 reissues. Super high-quality for the price. They've even made the nitro finish smell like a new Gibson, and it's glorious.
The only very minor nit I'd pick is that it has the glossy nitro finish on the back of the neck, and I find that a little sticky. Well, I should say it has the glossy finish.... for now 😈
