Same here, my 9 year old picks up the Jap Strat (‘96), it’s got battle scars from 20+ years playing. Lumps out the finish where I fell off a table, but it’s my workhorse, like a comfortable pair of slippers!
He plays Back in Black (slowly), but I’m not losing my mind, thinking that it’s going to get damaged. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t trash my gear, but it was a tool to a job for many years! I’m no a fan of relicing, but if I’ve put a mark on it, it’s part of its history.
Back on thread, don’t beat up of the “host” of this thread. He’s put together an instrument for a musicIan, the popularity of using a well known guitarist is nothing new. Anyone heard of Les Paul!
This will hopefully result in many sales, making an instrument company stronger, being able to produce more choices for the musician of the future. A rare thing in the current financial climate!
There’s a lot of negativity out there for this guitar. I personally dont understand why!
So it’s another Strat, it’s got a scarf joint, the frets aren’t fat, it’s got a 7.25 radius, the pickups are all the same value, it’s got an all steel trem and the cavity hasn’t been sealed.
Go play it! Like it? Got the funds? Ta-dah
Don’t? Don’t? Duh!! Move on, the world won’t end!
