Picked up a pair: 2010 Fender FSR Strat & 1995 Epiphone Sheraton

Both clean and no FLOYD!?!?! Two of the best put together highest quality control guitars I've come across in a while.

Strat has a pretty cool Metallic Sunburst finish through which you can see the wood grain - I think they’re calling it Mystic Burst currently. Stock Fender Humbuckers are actually very good and I like them. Positions 2 & 4 give you some decent Strat Tones too.

Always wanted a Sheraton but never got around to grabbing one. This one's a fine example of a Samick MIK with more subtle chrome hardware rather than the typical gold. These are great feeling and looking guitars (IMHO) and comfortable players to boot. Stock pickups do a great job of jazzin' things up when the height is lowered and if you raise 'em up you're easily in rock n roll territory.


2010 Fender FSR Stratocaster MIM Standard Mystic Burst: One Piece Modern C Shape Tinted Maple 1.65” R2 Neck with 9.5” Radius 21 Medium Jumbo Frets & Fender Standard Tuners, Alder Body in Mystic Metallic Sunburst w/two Fender Standard Humbuckers wired with a 5 way blade switch giving both humbucker and single coil sounds, Vintage Synchronized Tremolo, Black HSC

This Fender FSR Standard Strat HH Metallic represents a tasteful melding of classic and modern sensibilities for a well-made instrument that any player can afford. Right off the bat this Strat's metallic finish sets it apart from the crowd, adding a little flash to the vintage style 3-tone sunburst Alder body. This is complimented by a gloss finish one-piece maple neck and fretboard with 21 medium jumbo frets and a modern "C" shape. A Fender synchronized tremolo system keeps you in tune while you warp and bend notes, offering accurate intonation and excellent sustain. Speaking of sustain, this Fender FSR Strat is armed with a pair of chunky sounding humbuckers for fat power chords and singing leads. Classic Strat single-coil tones are at your fingertips too, thanks to the Fender FSR Standard Strat HH 's five-way switching.

Nice Sheraton II. Those are great guitars for the money.

Really makes me miss my white '92, which was stolen.

Dang. That Sheraton looks AWESOME. Makes my natural finished one look ratty by comparison.

Thank you all. Sheraton has held up well in its 23 years. Definitely a nice guitar. Looked it over plugged it in, brought it home. Easiest purchase I’ve made in a while.

Way to go! That is a fine looking pair of guitars, I'd be proud to have either of them. Over the years, I have owned a couple of Sheratons and they were great players. Both of mine had the gold hardware, and I like the chrome/nickel look much better!
 
Re: Picked up a pair: 2010 Fender FSR Strat & 1995 Epiphone Sheraton

Thanks all. I put all my other guitars in their cases and am keeping these two out to play exclusively for a while so I can get a feel for 'em. Finding myself picking the Strat up quite a bit at the moment. Surprising bang for the buck for sure.

Nice set of geetars you have. Great score!

Thank you. I’ve kind of got a “Love:Hate” relationship going with Fender Strats. I’ve had 4 different ones over last 3 months (CIJ, MIA, CIJ/MIM Mutt and this one) and the three prior to this one all had various issues. This one is by far the best of the bunch with no issues - great resonance from the body and a one piece flame Maple Neck make for a really nice player.

That strat looks very cool, congrats. Just made me realize I need black covers and knobs for an near identical looking guitar. Well it is RW fretboard, but now I think I can change that as well .
