Gotta say that neck stamp looks way too pristine for the the date (heck, current runs aren't that clean!) ...and the excessive fret ware "due to flat wounds"... huh? Fishy. Besides, for $29,999 that Fiesta Red had better be hand delivered to my doorstep by Mr. Marvin himself from his personal collection. — Fady El Mirage @ ReverbNation Top

Posted on Jun 28 2011 08:44 AM Anybody thinking this guitar looks more vintage? http://store.guitar-villa.com/p-17124-1961-stratocaster-blond-rosewood-board.aspx Some guitars are just put away and other are touched up, refurbished or restored. — This is Noel.

BigKen Joined: May 08, 2008 Posts: 253 Motor City Surfer	Posted on Jun 29 2011 07:48 PM Dont remember if I posted on this thread..... anyway, I've got Strats and love 'em, had a nice Jag and sold it to a fellow SG101'er, my son has a Jazzmaster.... But, my goto girl is my Ibanez Jet King 4. I swapped out the buckers with Armstrong P-90's. This axe surfs like crazy. Awesome playability and tone. — Fin Doctors Crashmatics Top
Bustercat Joined: Apr 19, 2008 Posts: 120	Posted on Jul 21 2011 01:15 AM Lately, my Gretsch 5124 (with D'Armond 2000s). Those wonderful single coils work with the hollowbody and give a great sound that can go from jangly surf into twangy, beefy duane eddy. Hard to describe; rather than the mellow buttery sound of a Jazzmaster, it has a woody, steely edge to it. More raw. Different. Think of the way the Venture's cover of Ghost Riders sounds (the one with the screaming and the cows), but more so. Since tweaking it and putting in a different spring, I love the bigsby, too.
