swampash Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I picked this up for a very good price in a friend's local music store on Wednesday. She's a 2002 Highway One Strat in mocha brown. The body is really well worn and looks fantastic. I don't know what it is but I love a well worn Strat. All of my other Guitars are pristine but my two Strats look like beaters. This one plays and sounds beautiful. And here it is next to it's 21 year old sister. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surfpup Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I can one up that, I haven't owned a single guitar in my life, I didn't rip the pickips out of... Just sayin. I feel ya. I have one though - SG Faded Special with 490R and 490T. The only guitar in which I have kept the stock pickups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4Hayden Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 The trend now days is to sell a new guitar that looks like a beater , guess they think it looks like you've been playing a long time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfpup Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I cant tell you how many times I tried... on every Les Paul and Strat I ever bought. I think the hardest was the Signature T I REALLY wanted to keep the 57 Classics in there. But finally went Duncan Hot Rodded set. My 2014 Classic still has stock pickups but... I changed magnet in 57 classic to Alnico 5 and Searcy rewound bridge to JB specs. Strats I been pulling them and using Duncan Texas Hot Antiquities, they sound amazing all Hendrix Blackmore SRV. Yeah, you like 'em hot. I get most of my gain from the floor and need a good country clean now and again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4Hayden Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I like the ones that are replicas of real 55 and 66 strats they did a 76 that was sweet too. I also like the Les Pauls that are vintage 1960 replicas right down to aging them. That is cool because I rather pay $6000 for one have a replica than $50,000 for the real thing. I cant budget either right now but if I could it would be a replica before the real thing. I agree Donny but if I buy a new guitar I want a new looking guitar not a aged one (that's just me) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Pup, How you like that 490R/490T combo in your SG? I kept that in one of my LP's and it's great. Real earthy/bluesey tones. Real easy to bend out of shape with the chain if need be too.
