Always wanted a guitar from the Year I was born for some reason.
:roll: You're lucky that you can find one in your birth year - strats were not invented when I was born :lol:

Was pondering the idea of a plate on the bottom of the bridge pickup and wondering if it, combined with the string-through, would get me close to a Tele bridge tone.

Bridge pickup: best thing about a Tele and worst thing about a Strat.

Those frets look wide and low...refret you say?
They are. One dressing too many maybe. Dealer was clear about it so no surprises. Plays well but I'd like them a bit taller.
I think postage to me this time might make it marginal.

LEAVE IT THE FUCK ALONE!

And Happy New Guitar Day!!!!!
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

A lovely looking strat from my birth year, you find some cool stuff Molly!
I never use the trem on my strat, so I'm a fan.
No one ever died of hard work.. but why take the risk..
