Well, I'm living out of town in an apartment for a few months, adjusting to my new day gig. After a few days here, I realized that I came down without a guitar. Oops.

I also, after decades of playing, have never owned a Strat.....and I'm not sure why not.

So:

Its a Strat Ultra HSS in Cobra Blue. It sounds, well, just as a Strat should sound. The more cork-sniffing purists/collectors will probably turn up their noses at it because of the new "noiseless" pickup design (effectively a very narrow stacked humbucker)...but I like the way it sounds and I don't miss the 60/120 Hz noise one bit.

Plus, it's not a Custom Shop model or "relic'd", so I don't have to worry about it being stolen by a lawyer or dentist.:sofa

What do you all think?

Great color. It reminds me of my first 80s Squier in a similar color. Noiseless pickups are okay. I have some older ones in my Mexi Strat and get along fine with them. A proper HB in the bridge is a good safety net if you're not really a Strat player (y)
