my li'l flower child

I posted awhile back about how I invariably compromise on the color I want.

Well, NOT THIS TIME!

I've never had a Strat with vintage frets before, and I'm pleasantly surprised. Plays really, really well. Plus, it sounds dreamy.

I like it ! So you painted and sprayed the body yourself ?

Man, if I could paint like that... No, this is the way Fender made it!

Love it, is that a new reissue?

Very nice. I know where you can get the matching Tele.

It's a new reissue -- what I read online leads me to think it's a limited edition (one music store says there are only 400 Strats).

I have the paisley Tele that "goes" with it... makes a cool combo!

I just got one of the new '08 paisley strats to go with my '80s paisley tele. Man I tell Fender Japan puts out some FINE instruments. I love all of mine.

Yah, so far, I've been knocked out by everything I've seen from Fender Japan. It's a shame they won't let all that stuff come over to the U.S....
