NGD! 2021 Candy Red Burst HSS Strat

[Boneman]

Any strat fans here? Wanted an HSS and the sale price was right for this one. 2021 leftover, MIM player series, solid alder body and it came in this banging, limited, translucent candy red burst color with the black pg, showing off the grain in there, just looks killer imo, and was even a 75th anniversary year release! Man, can’t believe Leo started them in 1946, if he could see them now. Played it all afternoon yesterday and this morning, it rocks!

Congrats!! Nice see thru color!Good choice! Very cool! Seeing the wood grain makes a guitar much more visually interesting.
I had a Lead III back in the 80’s in similar trans red color with black pickguard. Strats have fantastic clean tone!
Yes, I like Strats but only have one now. For my next axe I want to get a Guild electric. Here’s my Strat:

Yea, it’s just my second strat, my other is classic black with a maple board.

Excellent! And a good Strat is hard to beat!

Nice! I think the HSS configuration has become almost as popular as the traditional SSS Strat. Congrats!

Nice Strat! That's a beautiful red finish! Cool that you found one you click with. Like Les Pauls, each one seems a little different.

I'm a Strat fan. They're so versatile. I'm still on the hunt for my forever friend. The last one I had was really nice, but I couldn't bond with it for some reason.

Nice! I'm a sucker for candy apple red.


I came close to selling this MIJ J-Bass when I got my shell pink G&L JB, but then I played it again and changed my mind!

Yea, no, you can’t get rid of that!
