THE TRIGGER HAS BEEN PULLED!

As much as I would have liked Sonic Blue there a bazillion American Special Strats out there in the same color. Dakota Red is nice but I might as well have just chosen a replacement Fiesta Red body, so what's the point? Vintage white/light yellow...meh. Plus I could have been mistaken for a Malmsteen fan. And Shell Pink looks sensational but I don't know if I could live with it.

In the end my money went to Spectra Blue. Got a new Gotoh trem too. Pictures to follow once it's assembled.

Looks like my old strat. Excuse the shitty pic. It was my main gigging guitar in the mid 90s, so the only pic is an old picture I had to scan a while back. As you can see, I've always been a fan of tort :embarrassed:

I kinda wish I'd taken a screenshot of the mockup because they don't have any other Spectra Blue bodies in stock right now. But the general idea is Spectra Blue with a rosewood neck and white pickup covers and knobs against a mint green pickguard.
