My Stratocaster Family Minus One...

[chilipeppermaniac]

Nice strats everyone! I've never owned a Fender, but used to have a squire, Dirty Girl custom partscaster and an Epiphone S-210

These are what I taught my grandsons on...

I see what WAV DID HERE!!!! He put family in Stratocasters.

My 2nd Strat ever. The first was one I never should have sold. It was a not too common color of Gunmetal blue.

My Maple board 1990 Strat lying down and alongside some of my other babies. The only one here that I don't still have is the Epi 175

I own 9 Stratocasters.

I am guessing not all of them are black though.

How did you know me little BIG buddy? I'll try to post some pics. I'm on my tablet now but I will go to a computer after.

Hey, if you want to do a free set up on that dark two tone I'll loan it to you for your troubles...it's fretting out at the 12th fret on all strings.

Robert has volunteered his services, but we are having a hard time hooking up...

Oh man, I would love to but I doubt you want me setting up your Strat. I can do Gibsons with one hand tied behind my back but Strats for me are always a "process" and then factor in the fact that I haven't owned one in about 6 years so have not done any tweaking of one in a long time (a Fender that is - I did have a G&L Legacy until recently but that is a whole other animal in the setup department).

I know I can't go forever without buying another Strat, and when I do it will almost certainly be a black one with rosewood. My favorite look for a Stratocaster.

nice guitars all!
@Sp8ctre and @Don O
Holy cow those are impressive collections.
Really makes me start thinking I NEED a real Fender Strat, again.

Is a weekend meetup totally out for you???

Pretty much unless my wife goes out of town...

Gball, I also have a Strat shaped guitar by Fender. It is a Starcaster that was originally black n white n rosewood. But that was a HSS. Robert gifted me a HH Tortoise shell colored one it now sports.

Love Starcasters - super cool guitars.

I haven't forgot about you....

Gball, Don't mistake what you might think the Starcaster looks like as this...

Our Starcaster looks like this. A pointy arrow like Headstock and your basic Strat style body.

Mine now looks like this thanks to Robert's loaded pickguard.

Black, what’s that multi colored, scalloped one? Got a full pic?

Good idea...I'll work on getting new pictures of that guitar. It's stored in a box in my laundry room. I'll have to dig it out. The guitar is a Squier STRAT Affinity Series that originally was a black colour with a rosewood fret board. It was a real nice pawn shop find and I thought it would make a great paint project and scalloping the FB would be a neat idea. Stay tuned.

What else would you guys expect from Black? Next to Goldie, he's our most "unique" member.
