bassetman Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 About ten years ago I started my nephew on guitar with a few basic chords. Finn had his first paying gig Saturday and today he’ll get an American standard Strat. While picking one for him I liked this one and it followed me home. It’s the Mexican standard but plays awesome. First time I’ve played a Stratocaster. I had to keep it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1963 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 It can’t hurt...unless she has a fry pan. D'ya reckon she would notice the J45 sized hole in the bank account? Definitely has a frying pan....Cast iron thing. Good job I can run fast... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merciful-evans Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 They dont come any more iconic than a Strat. Those Mexicans have impressed me too. Enjoy it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelT Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 They dont come any more iconic than a Strat. Those Mexicans have impressed me too. Enjoy it! I played a MIM Telecaster a few months back for about a half hour or forty-five minutes. It nearly came home with me. If it's there this spring after I get my wife a new stove, it just may come home with me. The quality and playability was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
