bonzoboy Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Beautiful burst,a really great looking guitar.I have a weakness for Strats too,I have 5 but they are all totally single coil as that's the format that I prefer in a Strat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S t e v e Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Solid neck. No board. one solid piece of maple. so what model is it exactly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 You need a Tele dude... That's what I was thinking. Cross over to the Tele! I've always wondered.. How do they get the truss rod in a solid maple neck? Mine looks like one solid piece of maple as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShredAstaire Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Maybe Cadbury helped em out... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigKahune Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 . Beautiful. Is that an American Deluxe? Looks like a metallic finish and and S-1 volume switch. Those Strats have very fine neck and fret work/dressing out of the box. Congrats. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexri Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 That's what I was thinking. Cross over to the Tele! I've always wondered.. How do they get the truss rod in a solid maple neck? Mine looks like one solid piece of maple as well. The Skunk Stripe on the back! I agree with y'all, I am a huge fan of the H/S/S on a Strat. I personally hate the S/S/S configuration and do not use the first position with the S/S/S setups. Now with the humbucker you have the humbucking tone and in the second position you have the out of phase tone that's to die for and my favorite of most of the tone possibilities on similarly equipped guitars. Lets not forget about that wonderful maple fretboard. Nice guitar Axe I agree completely. Nothing holds a candle to the Strat's middle position, as far as I'm concerned. The quack combined with the natural trippy out-of-phase sound is sexy as all hell (especially with fuzz). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonzoboy Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 To accommodate the truss rod in the one piece necks Fender routed out a pocket in the back of the neck necessitating the need for the "skunk stripe" that was generally mahogany or some darker wood just for aesthetics sake.A lot of times the maple necks weren't one piece at all but regular maple necks with a maple cap added in the same manner as Rosewood necks.

This_Dying_Soul Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 welcome to the bright and twangy side. I havethe same strat but with a rosewood fretboard and s/s/s. didn't want h/s/s because all my other guitars have an H in the bridge and I wanted something totally different.

Buxom Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 You really need to upgrade the bridge pickup. If that's stock, the hb's aren't the best out there. Single coils are quite amazing. Don't knock them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonzoboy Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 The absolute bare minimum of electric guitars that a gigging musician should own is 5 : 1.Les Paul 2.SG 3.Fender Strat 4.Fender Tele 5.P-90 equipped guitar such as a Casino or ES330.An electric acoustic is also a nice addition too.
