Wanted a traditional Strat, so I bought a Mexican Candy Apple Red Player Strat.
Gorgeus neck dimensions and the thing is fucking beautiful. Thought about changing pickups, but I love them. Might just change the bridge one for something hum cancelling.
Got a new Gibson Les Paul Standard. Very happy with the guitar. Excellent overall and plays absolutely fantastic. (Also with a perfect top and burst finish.)
Only thing I've reacted to is the vintage style frets. Never seen it discussed. They've gone from jumbo frets during the Henry J. years to this? Seems like a massive step backwards.
Doesn't matter too much to me - I can play anything - but I'm surprised a company can go from Charvel-style frets to Fender "vintage frets" (almost) wthout an outrage.
