Great sounding guitars Squid! I went across town to pick up a strat that I fell in love with a few weeks ago. I was going to trade a strat that I'm not so in love with but decided I'll keep it and just pony up the cash.....already sold.

I did but I have played about a dozen strats in the last month including several 2012-2014 American Standards. That 2008 was the best player by far. I'll keep playing them until I find the right one again. Do I need another strat? yes and no The Kahuna Kings https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Kahuna-Kings/459752090818447 |

It is sometimes advisable, even necessary, to fill a void with something else (like a Strat). That hole might be the 'tone' or 'feel' we hear in our head. Not looking for cross-thread points but a little rabbit-hole to go down from back in the day. We had a little band in 80's that played regionally doing country/southern-rock/blues & some of what would be called 'classic' rock on the radio now. We had some energy & did pretty well - but reflecting back now a few decades there wasn't a really high level of musicianship and I think we just "got by." Surf done well really requires a level of precision, a standard, that I wasn't prepared for so I keep working harder than I ever did back in the day. Bends & distortion & sustain don't get you by on their own (not in my head anyway). You have to - hit. the. note. Perhaps, if we recognize the difference between simple gear lust ("who dies with the most toys wins") vs. continually striving to improve our ability to render that note in our head, it could be justified to seek out that which helps us to do that. At some point, hopefully, the work & the gear get to the point that, one day, we simply pick up the instrument that is in our hands at the moment that all melds together - and that becomes The One. There. How's that for an enabling?

Played 6 in the last couple weeks. Love them Fat 50's! All were new at about 1250-1350. I missed a killer deal on a 2012 CL listing near Youngstown for 800.00.

The VM jag was found on CL and I traded a Vox VT50 and 40 bucks for it. It had the mustang bridge on it set at 7.25 radius on a 9.5 neck. I removed the middle saddles and carefully filed the bottoms of the saddles down to match the 9.5 raduis of the neck. I shimmed 4 different ways with setups until I got it right. The Duncun designs are good but now it's time for the real stuff. I guess I need to search for a thread on pups for the jag. —The Kahuna Kings https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Kahuna-Kings/459752090818447 |

In keeping with the theme. This Jimmie Vaughn strat wants to be removed from it's current position as backup surf strat to my 93 American Standard and be setup with 10's, lower action and played through my rock rigs along with my 77 strat. The current number 1 will go to backup surf strat behind the new number one ultimate surf strat when it's whereabouts is located. Nobody could possibly disagree with the circumstances that necessitate this move.
