Baby Sh*t Green.

Do whatever you want.

As long as you understand the formula: X = the correct # of guitars, and X=n+1, where n= quantity of guitars currently owned.

It'll fade over time to 1970's kitchen countertop green. Now that's how you relic

Sorry, the word "correct" doesn't compute.

There's no hate here. Only self delusional anguish.

If you can afford it, and it makes you happy, get it.

I really like the looks of it -- quite distinctive!

But since you asked to be talked out of it....

• It's always going to be a strat. Took me YEARS to realize I was never going to bond with my American Standard.
  Wound up giving it to my brother (who loved it so much he dumped all of his other guitars....)
  
  
• One of the things I despise about the Strat is the thickness of the body. Double-cut makes a lot of sense, but it's still a slab-style body that seems unnecessarily thick, especially the horns.
  
  
• Even if it doesn't fade (and there's no reason to think it will), that color may not age well with you. You might walk into the room one day and wonder WTF on that color....
  
  
• It's a Fender; at least to me, non-Chinese Squiers are far better value. (My daily drivers are a Squier Tele Deluxe and a Squier Starcaster.) But that's just me; I prefer cheap guitars....

That's all I got. And honestly, I myself wouldn't listen to any of it; it looks sharp and I love the pickup config. [I will say I would totally put block-style inlay stickers on that fretboard -- it would look so much sharper with black blocks!]

The real question is this: Does it pair better with the GX-10 or the GX-100?!

Why would you want a HSS Strat
Get a proper Strat please
Also with that finish you will have to practice your dance moves

I have a proper SSS '89 Strat Plus Deluxe. That's problem and the solution. It's not a HSS Strat (problem) and yet it still kicks ass (solution).

I like that sunburst with black...got me thinking . Mine would look good with black too.

The black on black is making me twitch a bit, but the baby shit green metallic is kind of cool.

I really like the green.

I really like the green.

Yep. It's not bad. Green is a tricky one with me... I tend to gravitate towards turq and aqua tints. Race car and Sherwood green are cool though.
