Post by: Philly Q on July 30, 2009, 02:08:04 PM: I always quite liked it, especially the finish! I'd revert to standard volume and tone controls though.

Post by: Afghan Dave on July 30, 2009, 08:23:19 PM: I'm in a VERY Fender mood at the moment and the more "FUNGKKay" they look the better... That is NICE...

Post by: yellowv on July 30, 2009, 10:04:19 PM: I love it, but also would prefer it with normal Strat electronics.

Title: Re: Dick Dale strat
Post by: yellowv on July 31, 2009, 05:22:49 AM: Of course you should start a NGD thread. Especially with a guitar of that level. It would be ludicrous not to.

Nah... I think the different blues would clash :lol:

(I've got a developing colour theme with my guitars: black with off-white bits. It's happened "by accident", but I have a danelectro, a Les Paul type, and a tele custom - all with this colour scheme... but you can't stand them next to each other, the off-whites are all different :lol:)

Post by: morgasm on July 31, 2009, 05:37:53 PM: i really really really liked the look of that blue esquire...
