Well it's new (to me) guitar day. Ordered a Fender Player Plus Top Strat in Aged Cherry Sunburst. From the pictures on Reverb it seems to have a slight flame to the top. But we'll have to wait and see what it looks like when it arrives. Now just waiting for UPS and giving it some time to adjust to the house temp. But will probably get a chance to get it stringed up tomorrow evening and work with it a bit this weekend.

If it's the one with maple fretboard, black pickguard, and white pickups--then I used to have a G&L strat just like that. It's still one of my favorite '70s/'80s-inspired strat color combinations. Very cool, congrats on the NGD.

Congrats, the waiting is hard. For me the worst part is having it in the house and having to wait for temperature adjustment. I'm not real good at that part!

Very cool, congrats on the NGD. Yep. That's the one. I'm thinking about changing out the pickguard for a tortoise shell pickguard. Among the mods I'm planning, but yeah it's a beautiful looking guitar though.

Well here she is. You can see the light little bit of flame in the second and third pictures. I do have some mods planned. I have ordered a set of Manlius Vintage 62 pickups. I plan on swapping out the electronics. Also I might have the nut replaced with a bone nut. That will probably be it for the time being. I might eventually replace the bridge, but I probably just run with this one for a while. She's definitely a beauty though.
