That's a beauty!
I'm working pretty hard on this one (maybe it's workin' on me :hank) Craziest guitar I've ever had. I'm about 3 months into this, another "CS '54 NOS - 60:"
Back in the day I was a diehard SRV fan, & that extended to my Strat choices: 3-tone Sunburst, RW slab boards... & then I saw someone on Austin City Limits (maybe Lou Ann Barton?) & her Guitar Player had a HAMMERED blonde Strat w/a Maple neck. I sounded killer & I've wanted one like that ever since.

Nope! Dang, know who Jimmy Vaughan is! Might have been Marcia Ball for all I remember. I think it was the same episode with W. C. Clark. The Strat was pretty worn, too

Speaking of Austin City Limits, I saw the Sonic Highways Austin episode last night. I just love that series!

Cogs,
I'm of a similar mind regarding the blonde guitars - and for some reason they do look "right" when there's a lot of wear. With my recent acquisition, it was really driven by other attributes and I was actually going to give a sea foam green beast the first go when it was sold right out of my hands(!)
I've always loved the sounds from a great Strat or Tele, loved the feel of a Strat, and struggled with the radius, relief, and trem issues. This guitar feels much more dialed in and I haven't even touched a screw (a personal first).
My hands are carrying more wear than this new guitar but I'm committed to it. It sounds great and I need to "learn" this beast. There are, after all, only so many hours behind the door. I'm also a "one-at-a-time" guitarist as it helps me to focus. The decks were cleared for this one and the check book is balanced :hee
Happy Holidays and Thanks for your time and work on the L - P - F!

Just for everyone's information (and I'm only posting it here because both forums belong to the same folks and are meant to be "brothers"):
The Fender Forum is not going to be shut down soon anymore. It is still working and new members are registering.
I myself am a member both here and there, both are excellent forums.
I'll continue posting more about Les Pauls here and about my Fenders there.

Once the upgrade of software is done here, I hope they do it over there. I'll hold out until then. :dude:

What do you mean by software upgrade?

Monday and Tuesday they are installing much needed updates to the vBulletin base software that runs the site.

I play both Gibson and Fender (and other brands as well; like someone said, different brush for different colors) and I am glad that there is a Fender pub here, even if TFF is staying put for now.

I used to be on the Fender Discussion Page, but was banned after many years by the Nazi that runs it. I didn't really mind because again, there was no reasoning with that prick, but I had some good rapport and online relationships with several members.

Well I don't know about anyone running these forums, the only person I read the name was Lily or something (don't even know if it's a man or a woman), is that it?
As far as I know, a new fellow is in charge, Mike. Quite a nice guy, as far as I had contact with him...
Anyway, I registered recently both here and there and I like the Fender Forum as well.
Nothing wrong with having the Fender space here, but as a matter of fact I like the info over there. Years of data and plus it's a nice forum all in all..

I actually see a deeper appreciation for Fender guitars here than in some Fender sites.
