Didn't buy Strat XII.....Ordered Tele Deluxe(Walnut)...Thread title change #527

Post by RumorsOFsurF » Wed Mar 12, 2008 8:39 pm

I'm pretty sure I'm going to pull the trigger on a new $trat XII...I know, it's a Strat.  I just don't want to wait to find a decent Venus, and the Jerry Jones's don't seem to be worth the $$$. 

Besides, the Strat has features I like:

7.25" Radius
Matching Headstock (Custom Colors)
Trussrod adjustment at heel
Cool headstock
Klusons

Which color should I buy?  It's between the BMM and LPB.  I'm leaning toward Burgundy Mist....

That's a tough call. I've only ever seen the sunburst in person, which looks pretty decent. I do like the BMM but I think I'm leaning towards LPB.

the only bad thing about BMM is, it's not a tint tone or shade of blue....

I've thought about it.... and decided you don't want a 12str strat...

if you saved a little longer you could have a real 12
