Help me decide... two guitars but $$ for one

hehe so few with the sunburst vote. I definatly agree with Beef Drippings - get a classy pickguard to go with the one you choose. Strats just kick @ss with custom pickguards.
 
Just remember, maple fingerboards are a much more problematic proposition for future fret maintenance. If you wear frets with any regularity, you really should get a rosewood fingerboard. Dressing a maple board will cost 10-25% more (it takes a lot of time to protect the finish), and refrets are $150-$300 more. So, if YOU like them both about the same, then get the rosewood board just because it will save you a lot of money in the future.

And of course, the REAL test is to go and play them both and figure out which one SOUNDS better, because they will not be the same.

I don't really like either of them, but don't mind me. I just bought a black Strat and changed all of the cosmetic details to match what I like.

Uh oh... this clod is probably going to to send you a negative rep point and a nasty comment for straying from *exactly* what he wants, like he did to me.

That's what you get for trying to help. :rolleyes:
