VSD - Vintage Strat Day! (now the truth comes out)
« on: September 19, 2009, 08:01:46 PM »
I always wanted a guitar older than me, and here she is finally! Am no expert - but the date on the neckplate puts her at a '73  8) Its a sort of late birthday present to myself for becoming 30.






Shes a very solid guitar.

Solid as in don't drop on your foot solid? If it's like the 70s strats I've tried you could knock fence posts in with it.

Not as heavy as you might think actually! I meant the neck is firmly attached, and its not flimsy.

Nice one, really nice one :D

If I was going for a 70s type (headstock included :lol:), that's exactly the look I'd be going for - she looks really good.

Funny how the forum goes through waves of guitar type - it looks like there's a mini "strat period" starting up around here :D

Lovely grain in that ash but you need to get rid of the bridge (or at least the saddles) ASAP.

Very nice! Natural/black is my favourite colour scheme on strats I think.
