Patrick_Strain Joined: Feb 20, 2017 Posts: 70 Gilbertsville, NY	Posted on Apr 02 2017 10:36 AM As much as I would like something less "pedestrian", I love my Strats. I keep coming back to them. Here is my trio. A 1976 hardtail that went through the flood of 2011. The electronics were cleaned up, and it's been a player ever since. The middle one is a 1983 American Strat (2 knob). Some people hate these guitars, but it's a great player. I don't even mind the Free-Flyte tremolo. The third is my 1991 American Standard. In 1996, I got into a single-vehicle car accident. I wasn't hurt, but my only electric guitar (a Gibson Les Paul), was decapitated during the accident. I needed an affordable electric to tide me over while the LP was being fixed. The local guitar shop made me a deal that I couldn't refuse on this Strat. I hated almost everything about it. The color is not ideal, I've swapped all the pickups and electronics, added locking tuners, and a graphite nut and saddles. It still is not one of my favorite guitars, but I doubt I'll get rid of it. It's just a workhorse. Last edited: Apr 02, 2017 10:49:08 Top

CrazyAces Joined: Jul 31, 2012 Posts: 4052 Nashville, TN.	Posted on Apr 03 2017 10:14 AM I payed $30.00 for this yesterday. It's not even close to pretty or cool with the black hardware but I have had a humbucker in the bridge project in mind for a few weeks now and then this popped up. It's a heck of a lot of guitar for $30.00 and I'll probably get a lot of use out of it. — http://www.facebook.com/CrazyAcesMusic http://www.youtube.com/user/crazyacesrock http://www.reverbnation.com/crazyacesmusic Top

Actually, there is currently no neck on the bass. It needs to be reset. Top
revmike Joined: Feb 26, 2006 Posts: 3743 North Atlantic	Posted on Apr 04 2017 04:53 PM Here's my sunburst Strat Plus from the 90s. I replaced the lace sensor pick ups with Seymour Duncan lipstick tube pick ups. The volume is a pull pot to activate the bridge pick up in positions 2-5. One of my main guitars. I feel like owning one Strat is inadequate for this post. Lol Rev — Canadian Surf http://www.urbansurfkings.com/ Last edited: Apr 04, 2017 16:55:58 Top
