An American Deluxe with SCN pickups, Tobacco Sunburst color, looks alot

you have a '56 strat?

no offense, but i don't believe it. there can't be more than ten of
those left in the world.

i have a '65 strat in golden sunburst with humbuckers which is pretty
rare.

Unless I'm missing some post's which occurs on occasion, he said he had "a
real one," not an original or or 56. A real one to me implies made in
America vs the asian versions. The SCN pickups imply a 2004 or later, but
I
don't know if SCN's were available before 2004.


a real one would imply a pre-cbs strat - those are real ones.


Well, Shortwave, some of us would just be happy to own a strat made in
America. To us, that would be a real one. Still, I understand your version
of real versus my version of real. When I go into the store to see if I can
buy my daughter a strat, I have three choices. A modern strat made in
America or in an Asian country or a vintage $trat. I can afford the one
made in an Asian country. I didn't buy her one, because I couldn't justify
the price of the one I would want (and I was pretty sure she would last as
long with guitar lessons as she did with piano lessons). Still, I was
sorely tempted to find a way to buy her one that I would want!


I put the SCN's on. My strat sounds absolutely beautiful, and I never
ever implied that I own an original '56. It's a real strat, made in the
U.S., using the same woods as the old ones, not made in Mexico.
Everyone I know that REALLY knows anything about strats really like
mine.
