Number two (from the top) looks best to me.

#3 is the eye grabber for me.
"... And miles to go before I sleep".
#2 or #4 for me (Because the colors look happiest in these variants. The varying brightness/shadows in #4 are interesting, am not sure if it's a plus or minus.)
PS:
Looked at it again:
#2 (looks somehow more correct/professional).

American Professional solid ash Stratocaster?Originally Posted by SoCalDep
Not a super special custom gun but I love it! It's a Colt CCG with some changes. I found it on a "for sale" forum several years ago and subjected my family to two four-hour (ish) drives to go do the private party paperwork in San Deigo. In CA we get to wait ten days to pick up a gun. I'm a huge fan of having no front serrations, vertical rear serrations, a ring hammer with a beavertail, short trigger, and Novak sights. It's a 90s classic custom look to me... The guns I grew up reading about. I'm thinking it's going to be my companion on a really big important (and very much life-changing) trip in the next couple weeks.
So... back to getting the gun... we're on our way back from the pickup and I decide to do some function checks and immediately notice the scant safety. UGGGHHH! In my excitement reading the add I thought the seller had said the gun came (like...from the factory) with a ring hammer. Instead, he was saying he had installed a Colt ring hammer. The factory CCG had the skeletonized modern style version. A new hammer often requires a new safety. Ok... Don't freak out... not that big of a deal. My department's Senior Armorer is more than the title... He's a very good pistol smith and likes to build 1911s. He replaced the safety with a Wilson Combat version (my preferred due to the beveling at the rear of the safety) and threw in a short trigger at the same time as well. It's reliable, accurate, and the only thing I'd like to do in the future is add a front sight with a gold bead just because.
The guitar background is a Fender Stratocaster Professional II that my wife bought me a bit over a year ago. It's a way better guitar than I deserve, but man it plays great.
It’s an American Professional II and I think it’s alder but it sounds great and plays like mad. I wasn’t so into the tortoise shell pick guard which made me hesitate and I ended up playing it a couple times before we bought it. Kind of fell in love with the whole look during the process and now I’m not changing anything!
I have pretty much the same guitar and it’s incredible. Great pic!
As a fella that's owned a few Clark Meltdowns (commander EDCs) + starting shooting @ Clark's when they moved to there current location in the '90s, how long have you had it & any other Clark guns?Jim Clark senior built .38 Special 6" longslide completed in 1970.
Oh man, can I please ask for pics of those Meltdowns, and for your thoughts? I've got a dedicated .22 Kart that has passed through Clark's hands twice now, but I've never handled a Meltdown, or even seen one outside of the old gun rags.
Per the PF Code of Conduct, I have a commercial interest in the StreakTM product as sold by Ammo, Inc.
Sorry but no pics. as those 2 got sold long ago when I stepped down from carrying the Man Gun (Pat coined), guess we'll have to discuss them in '23 @ the Stoeger/Park class.
I will get pics of mine to ya soon.....I have Officers frame with Commander slide. Lightweight Government and Officers model.......CYA Mike
