Post by: bobbystahr on February 05, 2017, 12:56:45 PM
I don't know if this is the right place so please move if necessary, but I just found this on Huff Post and thought it appropriate to some of the strat seekers here.

Do not go and be underwhelmed. ;)

Seriously though, amazing looking place, even without Photoshop:

Thanks for the additional links, and I suspected as much, that just popped up in my news feed and I've been otherwise distracted by my guitar all day. A good day even if it's snowing.....again....again.
