Well not quite true. Its won so its a good as :) http://http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=017&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&viewitem=&item=270131746183&rd=1&rd=1

This is to replace the red Korean 90's strat I got ages ago to mod. I have tried hard to like Red, it looks the part very Hank Marvin (maple neck and aged white parts) but the fretboard radius is flat, its made of ply and tonally a wee bit on the dead side when I compare it to my 80's Japanese Squier Strat.

I even bought secondhand Lil' 59's and a Duckbucker off some forum great bro's to put in it but I couldn't bring myself to do it. I think the guitar would not have done the pups any justice and I would always have in the back of my mind doubt they could sound better in something else . So I'm cutting my losses and Red is off to the bay to find a new home!

And this one is arriving in its place, will let you know how it goes. Can't wait!

There's been alot of strat gas going on today, especially after I saw the weird strat tremelo thread
 
Re: New Strat In da House!

Well I'll just have to wait and see when it arrives. If its a dud its back off to ebay :(

Have compared it to my other MIJ Squier and the headstock and decals are exactly the same. So who knows - could be a gem could be a dud
 
Re: New Strat In da House!

Cool...if it is a MIJ!

Speaking of strat gas...you'll all be druling when my new strat comes back from the shop :)
 
Re: New Strat In da House!

For all of you looking for old Squiers, and did not grew up with them as some of us old ones did!
Here is a nice informative page!

Great info source with loads to drool over. I wish I could afford a proper JV Strat - they go for silly money in the UK, anything up to £500 which is $1000 in real money:thumbsdow
 
Re: New Strat In da House!

Yeah...hehe had a Fiesta red strat with rosewood fingerboard...
Sold it to a mate of mine....he then sold a few years ago, for about twice what he had to pay me...we both thought it was freakish with the prices..hehe

Thats real pretty and drool worthy.

I didn't actually want another black guitar as my strat, tele and SG are all black but other colours weren't coming up in my price range.

I really fancy an olympic white strat so maybe next time!
 
Re: New Strat In da House!

Ah nice colour for sure, my red had cracks all over, looked like it was pulled out from the 60's:D
I am looking for one of those earlier models with ash body and a big headstock...that would be a fun one to have!
