I don't really like strats that much... but I have to say.. that one looks pretty hawt. What year is she from?

Thanks!!!
She's a 76 US.
I'm kind of a Strat hater myself, I'm quite embarassed having one
But I couldn't can't buy that one for several reasons...she plays heavenly, the wood is extremely resonant, she's beautiful and she was cheap.
I bought that one when I was baby sitting 8 years ago, the dad sold it to me for 1000 euros, and he told me it was possible to take my time to pay him...so it took me 5 years to pay that Strat, mostly because I forgot to pay him

Anyway, you understand I HAD to buy this guitar!!!!!!!!!
It's not the guitar of the century but luthiers I met told me it's an incredible sounding and playing one, I'm very lucky and very happy.

But I hate her as much as I love her, it's a complicated relationship...and it's the one and only Strat I'll ever have.

She looks hawt! Not that artificial "relic'd" look.. but really.. "real". I bet you could sell her for at least double the price you paid... if you wanted. I wish I would babysit myself a nice guitar

Definitely a nice looking Strat. And you can't argue with the sound or playability on them, that's for sure.

I play a G&L ex-Comanche (it has humbuckers now....and I spray-painted the head stock.....) so I'm in the same boat. The guys at the guitar shop talked me into G&Ls, and I'll never sell it. As much as I love one of my newer guitars, because I built it to be really unique.....the G&L makes it and almost everything else feel like a toy.

My strat, 24" short scale sx lefty turned righty, mustang trem replaced original lefty strat one (saving that for a future project). Individual on/offs for each pickup, only volume knob (the big one), killswitch, joystick wired to be two expression pedals, goes to the midi jack (not currently working...)

thats fucking dope

Got myself a Cobain 'stang. Super happy with it

how hard/expensive/time consuming was it to put in the mustang trem. I have an old strat I'm redoing and i dont like the regular strat trem, but i still want a trem.

Best strat ever.

Been really frustrated with my acoustic guitar. Warped soundboard, dull sound, difficult to play, uninspiring. I had some cash come in for my Birthday so I spoiled myself. Came across a Red Label Yamaha FG-75 soft shoulder guitar.

Okay, that just blew my mind. How did you wire the expression pedal joystick? What about isn't currently working? It's absolutely brilliant.
Nicely done!
