Strat I saw on the 'Bay

[SabbathFan0220]

I hear great things about the MIJ 80's Fenders...plus I'm a sucker for all black.
Any comments/information appreciated.

I have the SSS version and I can tell you that it is a solid guitar. The stock pups were meh. I would change it out if their humbuckers are comparable to their singles. Drop in a JB and rock the hell out of it!

Remind me of a charvel or a Kramer Baretta.

Not with that weird trem and locking nut...

I don't think Charvel or Kramer ever came with a painted neck either.

But as a 1 hum shredder, yes I could see that.

I just said it reminded me, and yes Kramer released a Baretta ll that had a painted/joint neck.

Reminds me of charvel because of the headstock and the fact that the pickup is straight like evh style.

I wouldn't touch that guitar with a 5 foot stick made out of 1 dollar bills.

Yeah trem looks ugly, in fact, the whole thing just looks like an ugly Charvel to me.
