I couldn't resist the Andertons exclusive black fender vintera 70s hardtail stratocaster with custom shop '69 pickups so I placed an order over the weekend and it was delivered today.
This is now easily my best sounding guitar - perfect with my GTX100 amp. It feels instantly familiar as the neck profile is very similar to my '72 reissue MIJ tele thinline. I wonder why a wiggle stick was included in the case candy though; I'll probably put that on ebay.
I've already received a (genuine fender) black pickguard to go on it and I'm expecting a set of pickup covers, knobs & switch tip in black within a day or two.
