Squirrel was in the rehab phase --- after being bottle fed by the misses--- he was brought to us after a very bad storm and the nest had been destroyed the property owner found him and brought him to Shannon for "saving" --- she did and he was scuttling around the house for some time after regaining full health--- he has been released to the wild now--- the Chibson is fine--- I got a good story (I bet no one else has a squirrel gnawed fake Gibson) and life on the farm continues.....

Awesome.

Something bout a F hole on a Strat just dont seem right.

Which is why I like it.

 

[ChasFred]

Dislike both colour options and prefer rosewood or ebony fingerboards.
If those stumbling blocks were removed I'd buy one.
Actually I had a conversation about such two weeks ago with my son, possible purchase, almost, pass :-(

I get emails from a place called Stratosphere and they sell Fender parts. I thing they buy blem, seconds, and overruns and strip to sell as parts.
I like the BURST model and your right a rosewood or ebony neck would look great. I do prefer ebony.

 

[eSGEe]

do it ....we need a full report

I actually prefer maple on strats & teles. I do have a Squier strat with rosewood & it is a fine playing & sounding guitar, but for my USA strat & Tele I chose maple boarded guitars. No real reason for it, I just prefer maple on Fenders. Cheers

I too prefer maple on my F.S.O.'s

I always prefer maple. It is a dense, durable, stable wood which can be maintained unfinished, partly finished or sealed. It is very easy to work with. It is sustainable. It can have a great grain, like flame or quilt, but generally looks good. Maple....at lumbar yard near you.

Eric Johnson V neck Bummer............ As far as Fender is concerned I like D necks and U necks

I knew there must be good reasons for me liking maple, thanks for letting me know what they are RVA. Cheers

All Strats seem the same to me

Hey Rob there is still one you haven't tried yet?

LOL!!! YES!!!

Actually, if I were to design a "Strat" from scratch, it would be solid mahogany, swimming pool route, Gibson bridge and tailpiece, triple humbuckers and 1950's 'U' profile neck with 1-7/8" nut width....

 

[jtcnj]

and 24 3/4" scale dammit!

...cough...aherm...

(Okay, the nut width is slightly less)

Yes!

But you do get the point...I like the Strat shape and comfort factor, but everything else has to go...although I like the six inline keys better...

Absolutely!
