So I picked up a new Strat today. It’s an American Professional Classic. Nice guitar. 

On the wall were also the new Standard series, made in Indonesia. Not very impressive. As soon as I took one from the wall all I could feel was fret ends. The salesman said “humidity”. Bull crap. All these guitars are in the same room and same humidity. 

I have Indonesian made guitars and they are great. This batch should never have been put out on the wall. 

Love the new one though. Firemist gold with a beautiful maple fretboard, my favourite.

Tonight I’ll peel the plastic off.
