I feel I deserve it too...for no particular reason. I mean I haven't earned it or anything. There is a slight variance of oh, say $50K in the price vs budget however.jeremyb wrote:

Ask Hotgrits, I saw him in a photo licking the sweat of a thousand camels armpits off some random strat in some random shop in some random country full of lady boys.willow13 wrote:well if you like your strats to taste like pies then I have every right to talk about taste.........Vorbis wrote:

Probably much like the 70's one you got rid of. Average?*UNIQUE* wrote:Oh chortle.
I did indeed lust for a Strat for years and my first excellent guitar was indeed a Strat Plus.
I have no idea what it sounds like plugged in yet. .

Re: Vintage Fender Experts
No shame in owning a tele, just dont talk about it or be seen in public. It's like listening to an Abba CD.Rog wrote:A Strat is essential in anyone's guitarmoury!jeremyb wrote:Don't waste your time on Strats, go straight to Teles

Re: Vintage Fender Experts
To be honest, I don't know. I've had a very good 70's one...that Sunburst one. The White one I sold recently I could never bond with. The new owner is very happy though so again, how would I know whether it was average I was just average at playing it?Vorbis wrote:Probably much like the 70's one you got rid of.

So confusing.

Re: Vintage Fender Experts
Im curious, did any "experts" (ahem) here actually PM you and shed some light on the seriously overpriced vintage Strat you're thinking of buying?

Yep. And why comment on the price when it is not known, or even finalised?Vorbis wrote:Im curious, did any "experts" (ahem) here actually PM you and shed some light on the seriously overpriced vintage Strat you're thinking of buying?

Re: Vintage Fender Experts
I'm no pre-cbs fender expert. Played less than ten of them.
But I can tell you this: I've never met a vintage-style fender that wouldn't have benefitted from a refret with larger wire and a flattening of the neck radius.
I think those two things can go an awful long way toward reducing Fender-incapability among the Gibson/Gretsch native.
