Congratulations! I had a very brief opportunity to compare this model (used) vs. the Select Series Strat last year, but the EJ was gone when I returned so I bought the Select by default. There are a LOT of similarities between the two models, and I was torn. The used EJ had a couple of problems though, and I don't like ordering guitars on-line unless it's a specialty model that can't be had any other way. To this day, I consider it a bit of a coin toss-up between the EJ Maple and the Maple Select. The models aren't the same but are more similar than different, and more similar to each other than to any other Strats. I personally think the red EJ looks the best. :-)
