Permalink Sweet 1959 surg green Fender Strat- 1986 Re-Issue

New Topic
Goto Page: Previous 1 2

Hi Everybody- It was really great to read all of the posts about the guitar- I must admit I really don't know all the historical data that I should on these guitars- I just played it and fell in love with the tone and intonation- not to mention the outrageous combination of an "aged" surf green color with a well-worn maple neck. I did some recording with this particular guitar and it really has that buttery- smooth, Mark Knopfler- like tone that I have always loved. Anyhoo, it anyone is interested I would be more than happy to e mail them photos of the axe and case. What a great site- surf guitar is very very cool and I am thrilled to see a site dedicated to the preservation and appreciation of instrumental surf music. Rock on!!!

Does this mean that an '85 Fender Strat is no good? Cause that's what I've got. Crying Along with a solid state "Cambridge Reverb" amp. Embarassed Rolling Eyes Laughing

If you've got an '85 it should be a Made in Japan model. The Japanese Strats of that era were considered to be quite excellent guitars although depending on the model the pickups and electronics are usually switched out by their owners for better quality items.

There is Surf east of Sepulveda.
