Guest farnsbarns Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Very nice, how does it sound? Just be careful of that phrase "CRAFTED in the USA". Not sure it means the same as "MADE in the USA" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimbabig Posted August 5, 2011 Author Share Posted August 5, 2011 I think it's from the 80's, well anyways, for $80 you can't get a better guitar, it sounds good, but I always hated the way strats play, this one is no exception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twiz Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Not bad at all for $80 smackers. I had a Peavey Tracer back when I was 12 or 13. It had a Floyd Rose, 2 single coils, and a humbucker. It was a pretty affordable, well made, US guitar. I dug it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bender 4 Life Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 if you don't use that tremolo, block it, make sure the neck is right w/the body & truss adjustment, load it w/some 9-42s & it should play like butter !! If the p'ups are too "shrill" don't be afraid to drop them...... good score there ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveinspain Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Very cool demo and that guy doing the demo has some serious tone... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bender 4 Life Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 the Tremel-no is a nice unit......have one on my Amer. Dlx. Strat.......but if you don't want to spend anything more on it, pull the back cover, make sure you're in tune, then wedge a "block" of wood between the body & sustain block until the bottom of the trem-plate (on the guitar front) rests firmly against the body(this gives maximum tone and sustain)........a quick set-up & you're done! i'll pull the cover off the Strat I just built & snap a few pics to load up IF you're still interested.....
