Thinking about bying a strat. Someone please tell me I'm crazy

[Prawnik]

It is not difficult to build an electric guitar. Look at 1950's Fenders; most were assembled by people who had never played guitar and probably never seen an electric guitar before Leo hired them.

Even I can do it.

Just to get it straight once and for all, Copperhead. You want me to ... ... b... build one???

I don't think I'm up to the task of building a guitar myself, not even leaveing the building to someone else and just pick out the parts. I've cruzed some custom guitar sites and all the possibillities there is enough to make me go down with stress.

I'm no tech guy an have so little knowledge about guitars that I wouldn't dare to have a custom build guitar. I've just reasently begun to duck into the tech stuff and I don't even think I've scratched the surface yet. So no custom build for me and I also think that it will be out of my financial capabilities.

You can't polish a turd. I like your way of saying that you can't make a shiteee guitar sound good, Roo. I find that funny.

Thanks for the offer Juansolo, but the price would be a bit out of my league.

But there's great news. I just found a guy who's willing to sell me his Yamaha Pacifica 112 for just under 90£. From what intel I've gathered so far, people seems pretty pleased with these guitars. So now I'm already thinking about which BKPs to get  :D

No worries. I restored a massively neglected Pacifica for a friend. They're really bloody good for the money. I'd swap out pretty much all of the electronics however...
