"My Blue Strat": An American Standard for Blues Playing



I have been thinning the heard and ridding myself of some items by selling them on Ebay-- saving for a new "used" guitar.  I found "my blue Strat" and this time it is actually blue.  The idea is that I play the BLUES on a Strat making it "blue", however, the idea of a blue Strat also goes with my desire to get an American Made Fender Stratocaster and a blue one also because I love all things blue.  Since I no longer can drive due to Parkinson's Disease, I can't purchase a car that color, but I can acquire a blue guitar.  That is as close to a car as it is going to get for me, I am afraid.

It is a pre-owned American Standard Stratocaster in Lake Placid Blue, approximately 2007 or 2008.  I will determine the year of production when I see the serial number.  It has the maple fretboard, which is what I was seeking.

Well, here is a picture from the listing of my new Axe.  I am going to love it, I know.  Now, the waiting begins. -- Guitar Man
