Didn't like some of the Greg Fessler relics, I think he's gone a bit overboard with the bare wood.

Are they ever going to make a relic hardtail Strat?

Get a Squier Classic Vibe and BKP it.

And then Ratrod posted that monstrosity.

Very disappointing!

Yeah, I loved those white-over sunburst ones they did last year. Very tempting, but expensive enough to resist.

Post by: AndyR on October 21, 2010, 01:40:54 PM: Haven't noticed it before, but yes, I like it too.

Was it intentional Ratrod?

And, yep, I kind of agree with you on GAS over these CS - I had a quick peek yesterday but seeing as I have no intention of spending that sort of cash I got bored quite quickly! :lol:

@ Ian: BE STRONG SIR!!! :lol:

Post by: AndyR on October 22, 2010, 07:59:33 AM: Just a cultured appreciation of the female form :lol:

So it wasn't intentional? It does look good though... :D

Post by: Ratrod on October 22, 2010, 10:58:31 AM: The concept was that of a classic 50's pinstripe 'rocket'.

In the original plan the fat black stripe was a double stripe. When the single stripe was done it looked better than the double stripe in the photoshop so we left it like that.

The feminine form is just part of the guitar. Same as all other guitars with a butt and a waist.

That the striping accentuates that was not intentional.
