Well.......I left work an hour early to pick the guitar up as I didn't want it left on the front porch. Box looks good, so I bring it home. Upon arriving home I anxiously opened the box, low and behold is the most beautiful I mean STUNNINGLY GORGEOUS SSS Strat........just one little itty bitty problem............I ordered an HSS (rips out a handful of mullet) The silver lining is they were out of the 3 tone sunburst so they are sending the Sienna Sunburst $150.00 value at the same price! I must remain patient LOL!!!!!!

You know, both problems I have had are Fenders fault imo. The first guitar had a finish defect and on this one the box says HSS. The guitar is a dream but I want a humbucker in the bridge position. Oh and it HAS to be a Strat no other guitar will do!

Perhaps you could pen Fender a wee testimonial.
Some collective someones really need to remove their heads from their asses.

Mr Haley
I certainly like my Strat (HSS) so I bet you'll enjoy the hell out of yours - all new and shiny and ready to go. The humbucker on mine (Seymour Duncan) really screams and the guitar (Lonestar US) has a very nice, solid feel to it.
Good luck - but you won't need it - third time's a charm!

My reminder: Sweetwater opens the box before they ship and performs a multi-point inspection ... just saying ...

And they have called me to ask if if I am pleased with the service.

Yes, me too, and I have only bought minor stuff from them. They always put some candy in the shipping box, too!

For a second I read, 'mullet-point inspection'.
