A Player strat in black with maple neck. So far I'm pretty impressed. The neck is nice, the back is satin and the fretboard is glossy, but not sticky like I thought it might be. The electrics all seem high quality. Fit and finish all excellent and almost as good as my PRS SE. Came setup with the bridge very floating and the 9 gauge strings old and corroded, but whatever they were coming straight off either way.

I've already modded it to end up with the guitar I really wanted.

New single ply black pickguard, decked the trem, tightened the truss rod, and a new set of GHS Gilmour strings.

Now I'm very happy. I just love looking at it as much as playing it.

I'm a simple man, show me a Stratocaster and I upvote.

Nice strat! I've had mine for about fifteen years now and it's still my favorite to play.

The black pickguard on a black body with white pickups is a great look. Nice choice!

That's stunning, really stylish!

It came with a white pickguard, but that lasted like 15 mins before I swapped it out. The transformation is huge and it looks so good now

Good call, looks great with your changes!
