I tried a Fender Road Worn 50's Strat yesterday ...

I was in Glasgow yesterday and picked up a set of Irish Tours for my American standard. Can't wait to put them in!  :D

Guitar Guitar?

I was in Edinburgh and tried out the 60s roadworn through the Vox AC4TV. Great combination (my mate actually bought the amp), thought the strat was very nice, although i wasn't too sure about the relicing. I've often heard people say they like the necks better because they are unfinished, but i actually found it quite uncomfortable.

Yes it was in Guitar Guitar. Had a nice chat with one of the guys in there about BKP's, apparantly he uses them in his guitars too.

What was the AC4TV like? I've not managed to see one yet, and I really shouldn't be buying an amp, but... :lol:

I haven't tried a 60s RW strat, although I have seen one in a window. I wasn't too keen on what it looked like, mainly the scratchplate I think (but I'd probably be putting my IT scratchplate in there anyway, and getting a set of MMs on a BKP plate for going in the current strat...). However, I have played a 50s RW tele, and that felt extremely nice. My worry with trying the 60s strat is that it will feel as good, and the fact that it's a strat, sunburst, rosewood board, would push me over the edge!

I couldn't agree with you more Andy! It would've sent me over the edge had it been a sunburst. It was a very nice guitar. The big frets were nice too!

As for the ac4, I took my 339 over to my mates house yesterday to give it a shot hoping I would hate it. I'm afraid I prefer it to my TT and my champion 600. The 1/4 watt can he a bit boxy at times,  so the 1 watt is the one to use. As for the 4 watt. Very loud, with that classic vox 'chime'.

I want one!

Oh dear...

the GAS...

:lol:

Wow! You may have just cost us all a lot of money...

Trying to keep vox afloat in these difficult times :P

[TheIronBeast]

Took my Strat and Irish Tours around to the tech guy for my bands house this morning and asked if he could fit them in for me, he phoned me up this afternoon to let me know they are done, so I will pick it up tomorrow morning. Can't wait to hear how they sound!  :D

Great! :D
