Oyster White Strat- MIA

Stevo · Post by **Stevo** » Tue May 25, 2004 8:38 pm

OK, here goes. I guy I know is after an Oyster White MIA strat. But he is going on about one with a large headstock, and a long neck (?)
I've got the 50th anniversary Frontline mag, but it tells me the large headstock is 70's, and I can't find reference to a longer neck on a strat!
Is anyone familiar with this strat configuration/colour combo?
I reckon he is after a 70's large headstock strat, and is a little confused by his advancing age (still not over 50!) about the length of the neck!
He did own an MIA Fender Strat in 1967!

Anyone have any ideas please? Or know of an Oyster White MIA strat for sale ?

nope it sounds like a seventies to me as well - but the long neck? Don't suppose he's after a P Bass is he

I think Fender produced a baritone strat at one point 27 inch scale length. Then of course there was the Fender Bass vi.

Nope BG, not after a Bass.
Phillip I did ask if he meant a baritone as well thanks? But 27 inch would definately fit the bill....He reckoned about an inch and a half!!!!

Geez you guys are on the ball tonight!! thanks

Anytime now Dr Rog ought to be making a contribution as well..............

I know there was a squire sub-sonic baritone strat.

Of course those use to playing a Les Paul will call a strat long scale.

Sub sonic Strat or Tele. Part number 0154732. Part of the closet Classic range.

Never heard of Oyster white.

Pearl White colour code (cc) 23
White blonde 01
Olympic white 05
Vintage white 41
Honey white 67
Artic White 80

Thats all the whites I know of. Unless he is talking about Sage Green which is like a oyster boggy colour ?

Here is a sub sonic strat. Had the 70's style large peghead

The Bass vi was actually a jaguar body

I'd really like a bass vi but they are stupidly expensive.

Ok Guys! Line me up and shoot me!!

I misread the Frontline colour list!! Oyster white should read OLYMPIC WHITE sorry!
But geez if I find an oyster white strat that IS original it would be worth ...nothing!.... wouldn't it?? HEHEHE No of course not..but let me know and I'll take it off your hands OK? Might even buy you a beer!

I think the Jazzmaster is/was made with a longer scale neck.

Oyster white? I was gonna say...

I'm kinda jonesing for an Olympic White strat myself, with the maple fretboard.
