NGD: 2020 Silver Sky Rosewood in Golden Mesa!

I don't think Fender has to sweat too much about that... ;) The people who have or want a Silver Sky is a relatively tiny percentage of all the strat players out there. As for me, I love the Silver Sky, and looks aren't a big driver for me pro or con (until you get into some of the fluorescent pointy guitars from the 80's and 90's), but on looks alone, I'd still take a strat. I like it's softer lines, I like the classic strat headstock, etc. I don't DIS-like anything about the Silver Sky's looks - but I do still like the lines of my strat more when they're side by side. I gotta say, though, I do prefer the looks of the SS headstock to the garish 70's Strat headstocks with the really big type on 'em. I had one of those as my only electric for about 25 years and I was used to it, but I'm sorry - THOSE were fugly. But a standard strat headstock is a thing of beauty. And the SS is just a very function and inoffensive headstock.

Yeah, I get it. The big Fender headstock is horrible.
