NGD: Incredibly original choice

I got a Strat. I really love it. It's a Classic Vibe 50s LPB jobby that I scored for $230 used. It might be the most comfortable guitar I've played to date. It feels like it has a thinner neck than a MIM Strat and only weighs in at 7 lbs, which is some relief from my weighty Jag. I'm replacing the pots (Tone 2 is scratchy and wobbly) and the selector switch (flimsy) with a pre-wired blender kit from Emerson, but everything else will remain stock as it sounds and plays really well.
I'd been waffling on getting a used VM or BT Jazzmaster and installing a set of Filtertrons I have laying around or a CV 50s LPB or Sherwood Green Strat and I came across it on a random search on GC's used site. I received some good news regarding my job security for the near future, at least, so I decided to treat myself as it's been a very stressful time at work.
