all of the sudden i love strats

[HedonismBot]

Yep. My buddy recently got a Charvel and he started raving at me about how he was tired of playing guitars because he thought they had some hipster cachet to them, so now he has the decidedly uncool brand of Charvel in response.

My first electric was a Japanese Charvel Refinement Strat. It sure looked different. Eventually I got tired of its flashiness and got a sunburst MIM Fender instead. This thread reminded me that its still sitting somewhere in the closet in my childhood home. Looks like this one but without pickup covers (and it's in semi-trashed condition): https://reverb.com/item/25471120-charve ... mber-brown

isn't it amazing … when we first started OSG this thread most likely would have been flamed by 80% of the members (not me).

Strats are great

For the record, some of us get to have our strats and eat our Offset cake, too.

Old post but thats one of the coolest guitars i've ever seen.

Bought this clear guard, but wont be using it .. The holes don't really line up and dont want to drill extra holes on the body...

Came to me broken too.. Packed with a thin plastic envelope, no padding.

My #1 Fender Strat. Has been refretted & Plekk'd, as well as having a bone nut installed. I installed a set of Fralin Vintage Hots (with a base plate under the bridge pup) years ago as well.
