Here's a gem I picked up at the pawn shop with some Covid-19 money. It is an El Degas Studio guitar made in Japan. These guitars were made from 1979 to the early 1980's. The first ones were made in Japan and the later ones made in Korea. They were exclusive to the Canadian market so availability...
Re: Planet Waves Auto Trim tuners
I can testify that the auto-trims are the next best thing invented since sliced bread. I currently have them on one of my Squier guitar projects.:)

Re: Post Your Holy Grail - from 10 or 20 years ago
I don't know about 10 or 20 years ago but this year will be 30 years since I purchased my 1989 Yamaha RGX Custom guitar. This was the ultimate guitar for me after playing 2 years on a Korean copy Strat guitar. This axe is everything I wanted in...

I have a 1996 MIM Fender Stratocaster in Candy Apple Red and rosewood fret-board that I'm scalloping. This fine guitar is getting a Seymour Duncan upgrade. I'm putting in a SD Hot Stack For Strat in the bridge position. I want to hook it up to a DPDT on/on switch for series/parallel operation...
My 1998 Fender American Standard Strat just got a makeover. I made a trip to Dollarama and found a couple of sets of self-adhesive rhinestones that gave me the idea. Now my geetar has all the country tone it can muster.:cool2:

My 1998 Fender American Standard Stratocaster guitar has a sibling that is for sale on the internet. This guitar has the same body colour and rosewood fret board. Now I know the official name of the body colour which is called "Dark Purple Metallic".
The serial numbers on this and my guitar are...
We all know John Entwiistle of The Who as one of the top bass players of all-time. Here's a video that shows his true talents. He played his bass guitar like a lead instrument.
