Aster1 Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 HNGD it's beautiful for sure!!!! Just love playing and hearing a Strat sing. A add9, Musician's Friend has an Olympic White and will match any deal that GC will do (I know they are owned by the same company but there is heavy competition between them it seems). MF Olym White w/ Rosewood I believe I just received an Email or cat. from MF with a 15% off on any ONE item. Check it out. I like dealing with them much better than GC as if anything is ever wrong the correct it or take it back & pay the frt, period. Even sent me a new Guitar when I'd ordered a heavy discounted returned one & they couldn't find it. At the price for the used one of course. That's C/S IMHO.

bluesguitar65 Posted November 5, 2011 Author Share Posted November 5, 2011 how many strats do you have now? Hmmmm.......... I think I have about 14 strats, I got more Gibsons than Fenders though. I hate selling stuff, I always regret selling them. To sum it up. Gibsons are like Fine Wine and Fenders are like Beer. You must have both [flapper] [flapper] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aster Yea I got the same email from MF and its actually a better deal than GC's $100 off deal for the weekend. I didn't go for that since I didn't want to wait a week and not play the guitar before I purchase it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aster1 Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Beer???? What are Gretsch's & Ric's then. I would presume Rum & Champagne maybe? 14 Strats. That's a lot of beer. Several kegs even. Makes sense to me. I hate selling stuff too. Almost always want it back. Aster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A add9 Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 sweetwater currently has 2 in stock that will be un-boxed, given a 55 point inspection, set up, plugged in, and played before shipping. i've never gotten a bad geet from sweetwater. here's one in the "gallery" to see the other find the link w/it's sereal# Am.Std Strat, OlyWht/rswd fb and to the OP, bg65.....mannnn that's sweet !!! is that a NOS Champ you're pushing it thru?? thats a winner too!! Thanks, Bender. Much appreciated. I'll give it a another couple weeks to see if GC or SA gets something in first. I'm also considering the same color/fretboard but in a 'Deluxe' which would give me the "noiseless pick-ups" as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketman Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Sweet! I love the color. Great price too. That's what tempted me to get the Geddy Lee Jazz Bass. I also saw it for $100 off and I couldn't resist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 That's a sweet price on a new American Standard with all the candy! I'm not much of a Strat fan (although I'm not much of a Strat hater either) but the American Standards are really solid guitars. Btw I still think you need a nice Tone Bender clone dude!

bluesguitar65 Posted November 6, 2011 Author Share Posted November 6, 2011 man, you have too much money and i'd gladly releive you of some of it...paypal details sent via pm i nearly pulled the trigger on one when i got an email from my local guitar shop regarding the £90 rebate. might still LOL! I never have enough money to pass around. Besides, the English Pound is much higher value than the US Dollar...right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
This_Dying_Soul Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Congrats! She's pretty. I'm like THIS CLOSE to buying an American Standard myself, but neither G.C. or S.A. carry the Olympic White W/Rosewood. So, I'd almost have to order it, which I'm reluctant.... I'd rather see, and play what I'm buying before I buy it. Enjoy don't blame you. Even though the Fender guitars are all cnc controlled, you will find some difference in tone from supposedly identical guitars. Unfortunately, even if the wood all came from the same tree, no 2 guitars will sound identical. Some people complain that Gibson's instruments have inconsistant tone and blame it on the fact that they still do a lot of work by hand. Fact is, even if the workers were that good as to make the specs of the guitar identical even on steps still done by hand, the resonant quality of the woods chosen for each guitar is going to result in a slightly different tone.

This_Dying_Soul Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 . I hate selling stuff too. Almost always want it back. Aster. That so sounds like me... I regret selling nearly every guitar I've owned and sold before I got my SG. I make it a point now not to sell anything unless I can get more than I paid for the guitar I had an Ibanez copy of the Randy Rhoades Jackson that I sold about 6 or seven years ago. Supposedly the guy who bought it has never played it since the day he bought it. My next guitar purchase might be an offer to buy it back from him. I've been through a lot with that guitar, including my first and only appearance on television, my first paying gig, my first public performance, first out of province gig, my first experience in a real studio, and recording my first cd (done at home with a digital 8 track machine). Once I've paid off some bills I might offer him $550 for it... sold it to him for $450, but taking into consideration there is less than 1000 of that particular model in existance and that the guitar's condition is less than mint (including a neck repair done after I'd discovered I was playing the guitar for 2 1/2 years with a cracked neck...lucky the crack was behind the locking nut from the floyd rose).
