I just realised I bought my first Fender strat very nearly 25 years ago and it's still going strong. God I love strats.

[Philly Q]

My first Strat was a Squier with one humbucker and a 24.75" scale, bought in 1986 (when I was 22).  I still have both the neck and body, but they've been subjected to various indignities like being repainted, routed for extra pickups and carved up for a Kahler tremolo.

Had lots of Strats since then, but I've only got one actual Fender one now, although I do have several Fender necks around the place.

I've been browsing Warmoth. VERY very tempting. how easy are these things to put together? I've never adjusted a truss rod in my life. always thought that was best left to someone else.

Well you'll have to have it adjusted by someone when you get it set up neways, that's for any guitar, so I wouldn't really worry about that haha. But if you know what you're doing, it's actually quite easy as you adjust it from the side of the neck as to either the nut or at the base of the neck.

Putting them together is totally easy. Just add the screws, mount the bridge on (I'd request the bridge insterts to be inserted for an extra $10 as it's peanuts), and from then it's all standard. :)

cheers. thanks for the pointers!

I wish I was 29 again  :lol:
Strats make nice sounds. I have one but it's not so good playability wise.  I've always wanted a Warmouth Strat. In the off white cream colour, vintage white. White pick gaurd, could go aged there. I'm torn between a birds eye maple fingerboard or rose wood. Trem. Pickups, Apaches or Mothers Milks. Biggish frets. Sperzals.

My issue partly, is that I feel very much like a humbucker in the bridge kind of guy. I do however very much enjoy using my charvel with the neck humbucker coil tapped. I don't think I want to get into messing with rails in an old strat, or routing one. I have a plan for a warmoth build but I should shift some stuff first.

As far as strats go, I find myself drawn towards butt ugly 70's ones. heavier the better.

+1 on everything you just said.

I like strats for versality. A HSS-strat (ok, not the purists' choiche) is ideal for my coverband. I have two of them with VHII/Mother's Milk and Crawler/Irish Tours.
