NGD - The Sequel

BRISTOL86

So after something of a false start, the new love of my life is now in my possession! Same guitar (American Professional Strat) but in a different colour. Having talked myself into the Sonic Grey at PMT, it started to really grate on me after a little while.

It has to be said that PMT were absolutely excellent about it (almost two weeks after the initial purchase) and had no hesitation in allowing me to get it in another colour - even moving the guitar from Portsmouth to Bristol as there was no stock of Olympic White and Rosewood in Bristol.

I've never bonded with a guitar so instantly, it just felt completely right from the off. One happy chappy. Apologies for the super grainy photo but iPhone camera and overcast is not a good combination! Tomorrow is going to be spent polishing the frets and oiling the board thanks to the advice of @Alnico before going off to the tech for a basic once over on Saturday.

Good choice. PMT in Northampton are also great. Beautiful strat!

Thats depends on who you get in the store. 
Most of the guys are helpful but there is some deadwood in there.

That's beautiful but sonic grey is one of my favourite fender colours, wish it was available when I bought mine

Lovely - classic colour combination you have there.

I talked myself into liking it - I think mainly because it was there and available at the time. As time went on I really started to dislike it so I was really pleased that they were accommodating as I absolutely love the Olympic White.

Let me guess...You like Jimmy Hendrix, you're a bloater and you strut your stuff in your y-fronts by the bathroom mirror.

*Whispers* Shoulda gone with Sonic Grey

When I got my American Pro Tele I had to wait for GuitarGuitar Edinburgh to get one in Sonic Grey as that was the colour I really preferred.

Must admit, Olympic White looks the nuts too!

Well you’ve got me pegged.

I'm at  loss your strat isn't black ???

All joking aside the best guitar in the world is the one that makes you want to play it

Absolutely, and I can hardly put it down!

Every time I see this colour combo it makes me want it despite having a cool coloured Strat myself.

Love it.

Thank Gawd you took back the sonic grey one - horrible colour.
