Fender Squier Vintage Modified Surf Stratocaster - Surf Green

Distinctive finishes evoke the fun-and-sun of Fender's early days in Southern California, and Fender's legendary attention to tone and quality make the Fender Squier Vintage Modified Surf Stratocaster a no-brainer.

I love surf green strats with rosewood boards...but not convinced about lipstick pickups.
 
depends on what you use them for. I used El Borrachitos lipstick tube strat for a recording and it was great for funk and some other stuff but I wouldn 't have them in my main guitar.
 
I've played one of these, in CAR (like finish color affects tone, whatever). I can assure you, they are most definitely hot. Very bright, yes, but they do exactly as they say on the tin. I also like them through the Excelsior (local shop has both) on the dark setting, it's a good sound, especially with the volume on the amp cranked.
 
I like lipsticks, well the old Dano ones anyway is all Ive played.
If they sound like that, then I'm all for these Strats.
 
I like that a lot. I've never played lipstick pickups before, so I would have to try it before I buy it, but it looks hot.
