In the past two months I've done two 2 for 1 deals. I've been looking for the "right" maple board Strat for a long time. The R9 was totally out of the blue as I thought I was done with Gibson LPs. Both popped up locally.

Thanks. The Strat was not really what I had in mind cosmetically but after I played it a couple of times, I was pretty sure it was the one I had been waiting for and I'd regret passing on it.
I have no excuse for the LP other than I really liked the neck and tone.
The side bonus is that the herd was thinned by a net two.

Very cool, that was a great day! Well, it was two days, different sellers, several tryout visits each, and about 6 weeks apart. I doubt if I could have wrapped my head around identifying the four trade ins or justified the two purchases if it were all the same day. I'm just not that impulsive (but the LP was close).

Very nice. does the strat have a matching headstock or just plain wood?

Plain wood although I would have loved a matching Aztec gold headstock. My rosewood board Strat is Sonic Blue with a matching headstock so I kind of have that vibe covered already.
