Finally Ordered My Stratocaster!

(My bio) I've been jamming out for roughly over 10 years. I've only been in one band back in Highschool when I had a Bronze series BC Rich Warlock. Pretty much stuck with the basics. Then on my 18th birthday I bought myself a beautiful Ibenez electric acoustic. I've learned so much having to utilize chords and progressions. That was 4 years ago. My playing became more varied and fluent compared with anyone I've tried to jam (back and forth) with and I've gotten dropped jaws showing off scales I've been practicing (ON AN ACOUSTIC). For a long while I've been dreaming of getting a legit strat. I'm beyond stoked to practice on it. I understand some of the advantages compared to my current guitar.
-Smaller neck, closer string placement -Lighter strings -More control -An oh so sweet tone
Ordered it from GC by phone (local shop only has 1 and it's a floor model, fuck that) and it's scheduled to be delivered to me in 2 days. Got a killer price for a killer guitar (Artic White Standard series Stratocaster -Mexican not American);

I do not wish to use GC again. Their follow-up sucks to all hell compared to Sweetwater and also entered invalid info so I had to go out of my way to get my invoice and tracking number. Also, they instantly contacted my bank and for a few days I guess the payment was pending. Now, no money has been taken and the "pending" payment no longer shows on my inquiry balance.
What if I get it and they don't charge me

Always been more of a Tele fan, but Mexican strats are still a dream to play in terms of feel. Not so much a fan of the tone but I'm definitely in the minority on that.
Congrats on your purchase

Yeah I figured if I'm not happy with the tone I'd eventually switch out the stock pickups.

My buddy has a Dimarzio Superdistortion in his bridge pick up of his mexistrat. Decent pick up.
