Every time I watch the Concert for Bangla Desh

I wouldn't go that far, because a 57 LP burst is about as beautiful as a guitar can get. But this is also extremely gorgeous.

I am a well known Gibson hater, kind sir. Just ignore me.

Time to buy your matching pirate shirt, Fatlord.

When did Eric Johnson start wearing a pirate shirt?

Fair enough.

NOW YOU TELL ME!

So tax refund + not having to pay for food, transportation, or really anything besides my rent and utilities for a month equals a 2004 MIJ '57 Reissue Strat with stock Texas Specials coming my way....

in OLYMPIC White. Seems fitting.

I wonder if @Brian Krashpad was the photographer.

Dibs.









Well, maybe not. I already have 4 Strats.

It's ALDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not that I really think it makes a huge difference from basswood, which I have nothing against, but alder just seems right.

This is a great Strat. It has a lot of personality and a really nice fat neck. I’m going to record this and the German one this weekend. Itch scratched!

 

[smurfco]

Put the black guard back on the other Strat.

OGG says "Hell yeah!" and "Konishiwa"...

That looks amazing!!!

That black and rosewood is drool worthy to me. I want one so bad.

 

[Hubert Stumblin]

Of course you should get one. DO IT!

The GAS'n I get from performances of that era of GH is his rosewood Tele

Although I understand they are rather dense, which makes me think the tone might be a bit "toppy", but if they're resonant, then I'd be lighting my after burners for one. But I do remember seeing a RI of that just a few years back, and they were pricey (naturally) but I couldn't bring myself to take the plunge without playing one first.

An Olympic white strat seems more doable. ;^)

The 80s Japanese reissues used to be affordable, but not any more. They are lighter than the original ones like George's (69 I believe).

I've always liked this one, but Strats and I don't get along, I have found.

Often think about getting a replica of that one. There’s a dude on Reverb that does them.

Me too. However, I learned with the Summer of Love guitar that Strats are not my thing. I'll stick with the Danos.
