Re: Strings?

I think we can all agree that no matter what era, you have to play a few Strats
before
you find the right fit. It's just inherent in the design. Some years better than
others,
but there are gems from every year.
You guitar slinging brethren that remember the mid 70's...almost everything made
was CRAP (insert Scottish accent) and fell apart. I had a 74' Strat with the
thin frets,
high pitched tone....firewood. Well, today on Ebay that big headstock firewood
would
definitely bring a nice chunk of change. Should have kept it. Doooh!
