Thanks everyone re your nice comments on the Suhr.
Sadly I haven't had any time to myself this last week as I had friends staying over and it is considered a bit rude to dissappear to the music room.
I haven't played the new guitar either, other than a few strums when it arrived. Also a bit behind schedule on solo #2 but my visitors left early this morning so no excuses now.
Hopefully get my computer problem sorted now also, and when I have solo #2 working I will try and record it with the Suhr and see how it sounds.
To me though the Suhr guitar just sounds like a good Strat, and not a lot different to my bits and pieces Strat. I guess the extra money is in the craftmanship, detail and materials used, still not sure whether it is worth the extra but time and some playing will tell.
