TWANG Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Looks pretty good. esp for that money. what's yer bridge pup now? grain on board looks complex.. nice. stick a wilkinson trem on there sometime.. you got it cheap enough1 I've got a pearl white tele.. and looking at yours I think that's a better color choice on the guard than I have. congrats.

Dennis G Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Sweet!!! I've had a wine red MIM HSS Strat for about 6 months and really like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bender 4 Life Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Thats SHARP!!.........just curious though......why'd you ditch the bridge 'bucker? Thats exactly what i'm gonna try to get when our taxes come back.......alpine white Mextrat..... I really like the quality of the MIM series, but their OE p'ups are pretty bad. This is MY MIM "twanger", with diff guard, Hot K/A bridge twinrail, and self installed Bigsby w/roller bridge. I absolutely LOVE it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[img'][/img] honsltly i guess im kind of a purest when it comes to strats and tele's i think single coils are the only way to go.. and i have nuff hum's as it is now i also have a '94 40th anny on layway same set up white on maple...

[-X/ thats what I thought you'd say........and I agree. thats why I went with the twinrail on the Tele.......cancels the hum (technically a 'bucker) but with the tone knob twisted wide open, it has a more than passable "Teletwang" tone.

Memphs1978 Posted January 13, 2009 Author Share Posted January 13, 2009 nice nice i got a buddy that we are going to do a stacked single in something to keep it looking right but with the bucker sound/tone.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ef_in_fla Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I love a white strat with a maple board. My Epi clone is like that. I'd have left the bridge bucker but that's jut me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stig Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Well, crap! Since we're posting The Forbidden Guitars here; 2004 50th Anniversary American Strat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexygibson Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Very nice looking Strat. I played Strat for years until i owned my first Les Paul but now just can't get into them for some reason. I see some beautiful Strats but for my tone a Paul does the job better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rraguse Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Nice Score! We all (well some of us) get lucky sometime, I did last June. I found a blond Sherry II in imaculate shape with hard shell case for $300 on Craigslist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sexygibson Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 stan, that is a beautiful double fat Strat. USA ? If you ever consider parting with it how about shooting me a p.m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stan 58 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Thanks Mr. Gibson, it's a mongel Strat made from a 96 usa standard body and a Warmouth boat neck, and a GFS wired pickguard. No plans to sell, and it sounds like a Fender on steriods. Stan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emetry Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 lovely strat. the others are nice too. I don't care much for the Epi/Gibby/Fen fight, i think most of them have decent merits depending on the player (note I did not include Squier in there...) but SOMETHING about Fens just doesn't feel right to me. It might be the neck, or the way the tuning keys sit. That said, I would kill a man for a Jaguar. I actually managed to find some decent CL posts this holiday season, including a 99 Electromatic w/case for $150 and a older Jag w/case for about $250 (people need money....) but had no cash to pick any of them up...wah.

I'd kill for a cheap Jag, too. Recently picked up the Jag bass in red with the matching paint on the headstock face. Awesome bass! One of the best-kept secrets in electric guitars (until EVERY American guitar became overpriced) is Guild. You can still pick up some amazing guitars fairly cheap.
