I love my big headstock '81 Strat. It is funny that they are also going for
collector prices. Mine won't though 'cause I made some changes. Namely, I
converted it to a four bolt neck and changed out the bridge pick-up for a
quarter pounder. I also gave it the Dan Armstrong wiring (remember "The Strat").
Incidently, Dan Armstrong died back in June of this year.

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!
