Even through my troubles with eBay, I was able to win this great guitar. The link is http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...sid=p2761.l1259
It is a HSS or fat Strat MIM and it was bought at a great price considering it was made in 2007 MZ7xxx. I had trouble with eBay where I had to return a guitar that was a great deal, but not a great guitar. That one was $300 with case but the guitar was MN9xxx and had been used pretty thoroughly.
I'll be getting the guitar tomorrow by local pickup and I'll be sure to post some pics up. Does anyone know about the HSS and how it compares to the typical SSS.
I've been reading numerous threads on the differences mainly being:
No quack with the humbucker (which i tend to dislike because its so sharp)
Humbucker has a higher output so it is potentially louder and also it has more mid.
Fuller and deeper sound. And better for solos.
How does it play blues rock?
I wanted to share my purchase with the rest of you guitar fanatics (me being one of them. I just love the sound and look of guitars).

Congrats on your new guitar. I also have a Fat Strat (Squier tho) and when I get a bit bored with bluesy or folksy songs, I flip the humbucker on and switch the amp to overdrive for some fun (driving the family and the dogs out of the living room at the same time....Bonus!).....

The tone change between the single coils is definate but very subtle (to my ear anyway) and that last switch to the humbucker is much more significant.
