Check this beauty out.

Not for 56k, there's a heap of pics to be enjoyed.

Creamy Goodness

that's a beaut

jcoote

wow stick a maple fingerboard on that and its PERFECT

Doctor J

That is gorgeous, but I think it pales compared to the Mary Kaye strat

Ancient1

oh my god I just creamed myself. Very badly.

feylya

Have to admit, neither of them do very much for me

In fairness, it is before 11am and I am lacking in all forms of chemical stimulant.

Blasphemer!

STONE HIM!

feylya

Stoned eh?

fitz

I'm with Feylya, doesn't really do anything for me.
Decidedly meh.
The one Doc posted is pretty, but a bit tacky, can't make up my mind on it...

Ancient1

"Decidedly" meh!

Shocking..... I'll see how many rocks i've left from Feylya's stoning and get back to you

I can't stop drooling at that beauty. I'm not mad about gold hardware, but it's different in this instance.

Doctor J

Aye, gold is usually meh, but that Mary Kaye one is just... wow!

Ancient1

It's so wow that it's over 5 grand on thomann :eek:

Karl Hungus

I honestly have to say "Meh" aswell... Fenders in general just don't do anything for me.

Ancient1

Who asked you anything?

Ancient1

Who asked you anything?

Doc, what are we gonna do with all these guys........


(double post, sorry)

Karl Hungus

Sorry man, but I've never liked strats.

I'd probably buy one if I won the lotto mind you. You know, just to be completist, as there is a fairly certain sound you only get from a Fender, but other than that... Meh.

fitz

Gimme this over your posh Strat any day:



Tasty.

Karl Hungus

Now that's something I can get behind!

Doctor J

Ahh you can't compare the two, they're different beasts altogether. Everyone should have one of each IMO

Steoob

eehh... it just looks like a normal strat.. eekk*runs and hides* and strats are so not my thing... only spikey guitars make me cream my pants... looks wise anyway.. i love the tones off les pauls

fish-head

It's just a loved looking Strat. Nothing to go mad about I reckon.
I like wierd vintage guitars and hollowbodies and basically anything old.

jcoote

the gold hardware no docs one is unreal ...pure class ...i'd feel bad playing that :rolleyes:

The a transparent white ash body is probably the only one that works well with gold hardware, imo.

Ancient1

Must......control......self.........

HELP ME!

Doctor J

That was fun. I just put a bid on it (knowing it'll go for lots more). Attempting to buy a 69 Strat has brightened my Monday

Besides, it's not worth more than $669 cos it's old, you can get new ones for $700

Eoin Madsen

I have to say, I really do like Strats, but I... don't like those strats.

Don't play with me man

Doctor J

Seriously. Do it. It's going to go for at least $6-7000 so put in a low bid now, just for the thrill of it all

Feels real good to be on top of the mountain, even if just for a minute

feylya

"I once bid on an original 69 strat but I was beaten in the last 5 days..."

Doctor J

Check it out

Everytime you tell me that i end up in a mess of some sort, usually financial.

Hopefully i'll be able to present you with my very own eye candy at some stage. I decided to build a frankenstein strat and cannot be dissuaded!
What started out with an itch is now a full blown obssession - and i will succeed.

Karl Hungus

Hahaha, Fair play Doctor!
Fair play.

Ancient1

Don't encourage him, KH, can't you see he's unstable?

Karl Hungus

You honestly think I'm any more stable?

Ancient1

No, only different degrees of salvation for you two.

i´m not a huge strat fan... and did you read the questions they asked on that ebay... what wood is the body, what voltage... i like guitars, but is that not slightly obssessive... each to their own i guess.... anywho speaking of old guitars.. i have a soft spot for rickenbackers... http://www.thomann.de/thoiw6_rickenbacker_33012jg_prodinfo.html

I love Ricks but they have to be in that sexy red colour. Black is ok but the red ones are way nicer.

Man, that is not obsessive. The wood of a guitar makes a huge, profound impact on it's sound. Finding out how hot the pickups are also doesn't strike me as odd at all. Whenever I'm eyeing up new pickups I always have to look at their output level.
