NGD: Stratocaster now with pictures of actual guitar

Post by vintage52 »

Big Apple Stratocaster.

Real pictures added below.

Very playable. Nice tones from the HB's.

In between positions do a very good job of a traditional Strat sound.

Did you get the one on trademe in the weekend? That was a good buy. I would have been keen but I need to move a guitar first.
They keep telling me tone is in the fingers, but I have yet to see a "look at my fingers" thread.

These are great guitars. I wanted a Lone Star Strat like, forever. Not so into the new Mexican ones, but those 90's ones faw shaw.

I always wanted a Lonestar too.

Like the thought of S/S/HB with split option.

The more I play the BA the more I like it.

The Stratty tones are there surprisingly enough and the fullness of the HB's is nice!

Fantastic. Took one look at that and was going to ask if it was a Big Apple. I had one with a Floyd a few years back. Didn't know what I'd bought really but came to realise it was one ******* well made and solid Strat. When I sold it on there was a wee bidding war. Fantastic guitars. That one's very handsome. Congratulations.

Missus reckons it'll make the Tele redundant.

Tele will be redundant while honeymoon runs it's course but not term hopefully.

Perhaps Strat will make me fall out of love with Tele......

I cheated a little.....the case is for my AVRI 52 Telecaster.

The strat came with the standard USA strat shaped hard case.
