Hey where'd that $700 go?
Oh yeah, that one guitar in the corner.
Do you have a strat style or a tele style guitar?

Thanks!!rabidhamster wrote: soiouz, That thing is freakin sweet! Is it a real fender? I need details!
Here, Sir, are some details..
It's a 1992 or 1993 MIM Fender Stratocaster. It was my first "real" electric guitar after a couple of cheap department store instruments... I bought it new : it was your standard black and white Strat... I quickly got the tortoise pickguard for it (paid a fortune for it back then) and changed the bridge pickup for that Seymour Duncan humbucker. I also changed a few electronic parts over the years (pots, switch), because they didn't resist some Sonic Youth covers... The K-Car green refin came around 1997, I guess... I also replaced the headstock decal for an American 1965-era style one.
Even though I prefer my offsets over this Strat anytime, there's still some stuff I seem to be able to play with that guitar only, so it will always remain part of my setup. It's got a great feeling neck and that humbucker sounds so well distorted. Plus, it's very lightweight and I can drop it and scratch it without feeling guilty.

lol, Aen, I actually got a wicked good deal on it in a pawn shop, so I didnt try it out in the store, I just gave em the cash and ran. If itd been close to 700 bucks I wouldnt have even touched it;)
Thanks for the info, soiouz, thats cool. the neck looks very vintagey, I bet it feels great!

I have two strats - a 74 white with maple fingerboard, and an 89 strat deluxe with lace sensors also white with maple fingerboard. My son has an 89 with lace and sunburst body which I bought him as his first.
I have no tele, but I will get one someday, because they are beautifully bright and funky looking

Re: Do you have a strat style or a tele style guitar?
I am another "neither" !
I just can't get past Jaguars and when I want humbuckers I turn to either my Dearmond Starfire semi-hollow.
I have tried them! I have owned:
Fender California Fat Strat
Fender Amer. Std. Strat
2 different USA made Peavey Predator strat copies
Fender japan telecaster custom
USA made Peavey Reactor Telecaster copy
Squier '51
None of them made it past a year of ownership for me. I find the strats knobs are always in my way - I think I strum funny. I have also found that I just can't get used to a Tele neck - I think the Jag's 24" scale has ruined me - which is silly because I have very long fingers!
I wished I liked them more - certainly would make it easier to buy a guitar around town!
