S561 Appreciation Post

What's there not to like?

Price: $400 bucks new and plenty of b stock available.

Looks: cool, simple finish; beautiful matching headstock

Playability: This thing is light and the wizard III is so comfy, especially chording above the 12th fret.

I upgraded the pickups to a Super Distortion and 2 Area 67s. It Strats better than my American Strat and there is zero noise. Plus I like the way the black pickups match the hardware.

P.S. The DiMarzio areas are so good that I'm upgrading my American Strat as well.

Also I loved it so much that I bought an S521 so I can get those fat neck humbucker sounds.
