I've got the early 60's and the 66 custom colour ones. Sorry, even though I've been registered since 2002 I've only really got into the forum over Xmas holidays so I havent worked my way through all the threads yet.
I must say the level of enthusiasm, knowledge and good humour is clear joining in as a newbie so please bear with me if I ask long answered questions.
I would also like to start a thread on the Stratocaster Haynes manual which is a really good guide to all things strat. A bit repetetive but a good guide to many variations of manufacturer.
On the earlier question of which one I prefer to play - the surf green due to the rosewood feel however it does need setting up a bit to have the floating trem but I have 3 screws missing.
Just solved this as a local independent guitar shop in Stockport where I work is closing down on saturday and the owner did a deal with me to rummage through his spares box. I got bridge screws, locking nut plates and screws, a set of black spretzel tuners, a set of 'gold' shaler tuners and a shaler black 'floyd rose' type trem and various other bits for ?35.
Bargin!
