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! if you are talking strats, real strats are the pre-cbs strats. the post cbs strats were mostly junk. however, the recent reproduction strats and even a few of the asian ones are fairly decent guitars - much better than the cbs versions. hey, get what you can afford - the object is to have fun. i bought my strat in '65 when i was playing in what is now called a garage band that made it big on a local basis. over the years, ive collected a few - a blue mosrite (the guitar the ventures made famous), a clear acrylic danelectro bass, a '65 gretsch country gentleman autographed by chet akins, - which is a whole story in an of itself - and an original fender telecaster. i also have a custom made ovation ballader which i bought in '85 during my acoustic phase along with a gibson banjo and a dulcimer i built. How hard was the dulcimer to build? Hammered or a picked dulcimer? My daughter is a music therapist with Autistic and other challenged children. Had thought of building her one. As to cost of piano lessons, my daughters cost me a lot. Since she got a dual degree in music therapy and piano performance. And her acoustic guitar cost me I think $600 10 years ago, |
