Not at all typical. I have the same guitar and that is definitely not part of experience. More learned minds might have more insight.

Ooh that's a nicer piece of wood than mine. Not that I'm jealous or anything.

Switch tip matches the knobs though. So you'll need to change those as well. I like the black / cream contrast personally.

Looks good to me. I'd be more than happy to rock it.

Welcome to you, from Perth. We do have a big country. The SE Paul is an awesome guitar. I was going to buy one, but splurged on an S2 594. I think the Paul had slightly better split coil sounds (JUST) so it's super versatile and great to play.

That is beautiful.

I would be very interested in this.

That's a decent demo isn't it. The Stone Blue there and in other vids looks way better than the release pics. That's probably what I would go for. As expected priced very similar to the SE Paul's in Australia. I'll put it on the list for one day.

Curious to see what the Aussie dollar price will be. Guessing similar to the SE Pauls, which would be significantly more than a MIM strat. As the saying goes... "you get what you pay for".

"I can't believe I traded in three Squier Bullets and an Epiphone LP Junior for this cheap knock off strat."

That is a lot of hostility for something that has zero impact on your life. YouTube is a great resource for teaching - not just guitar obviously. I don't think of it as influencing as much as informing. Some of us live in parts of the planet where we're unlikely to see new products for weeks...

Clearly I need to upgrade my wife.

I'm not let down. That guitar is amazing. Still half expecting a boat pic though.

Oh man that is what a 594 should be. Well done to you sir.

Looks pretty normal to me for an SE245. They're all veneers unless I'm mistaken, so not sure you'd see much difference between tops anyway. It it feels good, and plays good, and still looks pretty good, I'd say you're good to go.
