Interested! Really want to know what you think of it and how it differs from the Lollar.

Divorce papers... Not really. Just splurging the Harley money before the renovation eats it. ;-)
Hope you got some ear defenders to go with the jtm45!
Handy as well for the fallout with the missus

Pics or ban.
Will do. Painted, mind so it just looks like a red Strat.
Need the full story on this one!

Coming from Grant so you know it'll be good. Korina body. Massive AllParts neck. I was after a vintage-spec RN Strat with a hefty neck but they're hard to come by. And I didn't want to pay CS money for it either. Grant's fitted the bill perfectly. Couple of posts on here commenting about how resonant it is too so that was encouraging.

Nitro. Well, I'll see what it's like but red's probably my least favourite Strat colour. I'll see what it's like natural (seeing as it's korina) but probably go with the usual surf green. Will have to read-up on it first though. Got a feeling it's not easy to work with.

Nothing wrong with Surf Green. My local paint supply will do a lilac metallic in nitro, if you're brave...

Save yourself the trouble. Swap it for my Surf Green Legacy.

Nice, and I like that colour. Korina could be a good choice for a Strat if you want a more middy tone. Hope I get to hear that one day.

Nice score, do you know what model it is?
When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

Well done :thumbup:
