Geeps, this is an old post. I bought a fine Strat and got rid of the solid state amp in favor of a Bugera V55 Infinium. I've also bought and learned Native Instruments Guitar Rig since then and bought a Schecter A-6 special edition which has become my favorite. The action is super throughout the 24 frets--it has Seymour Duncans, ebony fret board, hipshot bridge, now if it only had a Bigsby (just kidding on the Bigsby)
