NGD Fender American special stratocaster - another raffle win!

A few years ago I won a PRS CE24 Semihollow in a raffle. As lovely as that guitar was i have since sold it on. 
I did kind of regret selling it. Logically it made sense. 

Anyway I have been entering the odd guitar raffle. To stop me spending money through the works vending machine or buying a takeaway. 
I haven't spent loads and I'm very mindful about what I'm entering. The PRS was lovely but I was never smitten with it. The Hendrix Woodstock strat was one of the guitars seared into my brain when I first started playing. I haven't been in the best of moods recently so winning this has cheered me up. 
I have been called the luckiest bastard by my guitar playing friends. I don't do the national lottery but I've been told I should!

So this is an American special stratocaster in Olympic white. It needs a set up as the trem is pretty much flat. So I'll do that when I get chance.



I would love to change my username, but I fully understand the T&C's (it was an old band nickname). So please feel free to call me Dave.

    Very nice, was this GGG? I've entered my fair share of those and never come away with anything. They had a lovely Jim Root Jazzmaster this week.

    Lovely guitar and a nice bit of good fortune. I've always loved the big headstock strat design but never owned one. One day...

    It was mate. One ticket is all you need. I don't buy hundreds. It's easy to get sucked in. I just look it now like two kitkats from the vending machine. Again i only enter the ones I want to win.

    Congrats!  Nice, same here. Don't enter anything I wouldn't keep. No lottery either for me either so a couple of quid a week is fine for something that I would actually make use of. 

    Is it satin or gloss? Love the 70s styling.

    Cheers mate. It's a satin neck with a poly body. I've had two American specials before. A two tone sunburst one and a blonde one. This is a keeper though.
