Hellz Yeah! New six string time! (56k=Pepsi)

Scott · 11-21-2006, 06:26 PM

Well I took a trip to Long&McQuade today, thought i'd have a look around, kill some time. I ended up leaving with a new guitar....sort of.

First off, I must say if you ever get the chance, try out a Godin Guitar. Very nice guitars, and the only reason I didn't pick up a lefty Godin, was because it had no trem of any kind. The right handed one I saw had a trem, and I think piezo or synth or something, and if that was available left handed, I would have picked that up instead. Very impressive guitars

Anyway, onto the guitar I did buy...

Got myself a pretty pimp gig bag

And a '95 US Fender Strat with a maple board and white body. My favourite combo on a strat

And that's not all. It's fairly beat. Which saves me some trouble

I'm out of beer, so a toast using a mini sprite will have to suffice

There was another one there exactly like this, but like a 2000 some with a rosewood board brand new and I said to myself "Man, if it had a maple board i'd be taking it home right now." Then I saw this hanging on the wall mixed in with some gibson's. I'm very pleased with this guitar. Still need to restring it and buy a bar for it but other than that it's perfect.

That is also my fav colour combo on a strat, that looks farking awesome dude.

Congrats

OzzyC · 11-21-2006, 06:32 PM

nice

i may be geeting a strat of my own soon (see my recent -now locked- thread as to how)
is it a high gloss or nitrocellulous finish?
what pickups/how are they?
what kind of profile does the neck have?

Scott · 11-21-2006, 06:35 PM

Dude I just walked in the door, uploaded the pictures and made this thread. I haven't even restrung it yet

God Hand Apostle · 11-21-2006, 06:41 PM

A mini-Sprite to Scotty for a score well done!

ps. scallop that shiz G, and get a pirate shirt with fluffy sleeves.

Michael · 11-21-2006, 06:45 PM

That looks nice, my favorite color combo too.

Nice score.

OzzyC · 11-21-2006, 06:46 PM

also....is that a 2 point or vintage trem (kinda hard to tell from the pics) and how is it for keeping tune after using it

Scott · 11-21-2006, 06:47 PM

like I said, I don't have a bar for it yet.

Don't make me kick you out of my thread

OzzyC · 11-21-2006, 06:54 PM

oh..sorry
i guess i should have read that last sentence a little better

velocity · 11-21-2006, 07:02 PM

scott. be careful. shopping at L&M can be very addictive! trust me i know...

nice strat by the way!

BinaryTox1n · 11-21-2006, 07:06 PM

Nice!
Every guitarist could use a good strat.

My favorite color combo too,
and nice and dinged up, the way a strat should be.

Too bad it's backwards.

technomancer · 11-21-2006, 07:46 PM

Great score. I just sold my last six string, and the only one I would consider buying is a Strat with maple board in either white or sunburst

Scott · 11-21-2006, 08:11 PM

I used to have a 50th anniversary strat..

It was alright, it felt good to play, but the S-1 pickups weren't all that great, and the finish had some issues.

Once I get a bar and upgrade the tuners on this new baby it'll be all set. Maybe change out these pickups for some gilmour emg's, depends on how I like these

Shawn · 11-21-2006, 08:21 PM

Nice score on the Strat, Scott. It's just like mine except mine is Mexican and right-handed of course.

Congrats!

that guy · 11-21-2006, 08:25 PM

the texas specials are awsome single coils , if you decide to change those out

We require pics of you and the guitar, doing a Yngwie-style lunge.

skinhead · 11-21-2006, 10:47 PM

Nice, very nice strat!

Have some scratches, that give life to that strato.

Very malmsteenera!

Looks so weird a lefty strato.

Hey, pepsi rocks!

56k = Coca Cola

metalfiend666 · 11-22-2006, 03:11 AM

Congrats dude!

Mr. S · 11-22-2006, 03:17 AM

very nice, sweet colour & fretboard combo too

Oguz286 · 11-22-2006, 04:22 AM

I'm not into strats much (although i have one myself), but this one looks very nice! Too bad it's a lefty

nitelightboy · 11-22-2006, 06:25 AM

I love banged up Strats with maple boards. Nothing quite like 'em.

pc1owner · 11-26-2006, 02:49 AM

That is definitely one of my fav looking guitars.

Naren · 11-26-2006, 04:20 AM

Very nice. I'm one of the guys on here who really likes Gibsons and Fenders and I get sad when I see people bashing them. Congrats, Scott.
