7 Piece SHOW BAND!?!?!??! those SUCK!

Yes I'm with you brother. Disco Sucks. I'm not sure what to call the music they were playing.

Last night my extra guitar was my real 1956 Strat, I paid $550.00 for it 10 years ago. 2000-7 I sold my vintage guitar amp collection great timing.
Strange night full house first set second set people vanished some out of town 7 piece show band playing down the street. Our band had to step it up a notch
we got our audience back third and fourth set. But had to give it our all, management was happy, but at the end of the night felt like a one legged man in a butt
kicking contest.

Damn! I know that feeling!

To be honest, I have never seen locking tuners improve tuning stability over a factory Fender or Gibson (or Schaller Gotoh) tuner.

I have.

I concede there isn’t any great benefit for normal playing, but lockers made a definite improvement on my Strat with vibrato usage.

Interesting. I have always been able to drop my Squirecaster's strings down until the magnet grabs them without tuning issues, I just don't use the bar in my playing generally.

It's interesting, we have different thoughts and ideas regarding costs and value. But, I respect the members opinions - there's no rights or wrong.

I gave my sister in law a 1964 Strat. We are in Auckland NZ shopping for a guitar amp for her.

So far I like the Friedman Runt 20 she is small so is the amp combo. Friedman Amplification - RUNT 20 COMBO

It does sound good with her guitar. I will build her dream amp when I get home

We tried the head and combo version the combo is the winner. Kimberley has a new amp

OH that is a NICE amp!

A real 64 or a reissue?

Real L series when she took it to a music shop to get a string change and set up they offered her $35k factory Ice Blue Metallic gold hardware maple board.

I collect vintage guitars. Kimberley went through all my guitars and chose the 64 it fit her hand. I'm sure it had been sitting in it's case for 20+ years.

I paid $1200.00 USD for it in 1985 that was a high price back then most of the Pre-Cbs Strat's 1984-1988 time frame I paid $400-$550 each.

While I am no Strat man, that guitar gives me goosebumps. And the Vibrolux, oh, man! How does it compare to a brownface Deluxe?

 

[Session 5]

I can attest to that -- It took me MANY MOONS and MANY stinkers bought and flipped---before I found a strat that FELT-- and SOUNDED the way I wanted-----

Im developing that FEEL Plexi--- (after buying 1/3 of the guitars in the U.S. -- and reselling them ---) Im finally learning to strum--- and if it DOESNT have that "thang" -- set it down and move on----

Like this one Adrian plays really sweet! A 2017 Godin Progression Plus.
