A proper early-2000s Mexican Strat here in a great colour — Midnight Wine always looks the part in the flesh.
This one’s the classic HSS setup, so you’ve got all the usual Strat sparkle in the neck and middle, with a bit more push from the bridge humbucker when you need it. Covers a lot of ground without overthinking it.
It’s got that familiar “Standard Series” feel — comfortable modern C neck, 21 frets, and the vintage-style trem that just works. A really solid, no-nonsense Strat that does exactly what you want it to.
Clean overall and playing nicely after a setup here at The Woodshed.
