I heard a rumor that Fender hired some of the same bean counters, that worked for CBS/Fender :)

Beautiful Mary Kay Strat !

Need only one guitar....................................................HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. :)

Seems to me that keeping the backplate OFF, will allow dust bunnies to collect.

Lollar makes great pickups, period.

AWESOME !!!!!!!

Beautiful three color sunburst on the back. What was the previous owner thinking, in painting the front black ? :-P Good luck.

I'm a neck pickup guy.

Hope you have the original bills of sale from where/who you bought them. Otherwise, I wouldn't touch that deal with a ten foot pole.

That sure is a purty Les Paul !

A little crispy?

You got culcha, Lonn.

The American Standard was perfect. Fender shouldn't have changed it.

The big headstock, is one of many things CBS got wrong, when they bought Fender.

Not me, but a previous owner did, on a Tele I bought used, I think. It's a '52 reissue, and it has a C neck instead of a U. The neck is very thin, and I love it, but, I have never taken it off the guitar to see if the dates "match" with body dates. I have questioned both Fender and CME. as to...

There was a '54 two color sunburst Strat, on the most recent Antique Roadshow. The guy appraised it at $50,000 to $70,000. Body was just OK, fretboard, a little too worn, in my opinion. But what do I know? :-)

Funny, I bought a '57 White Guard Tele, about the same year, for the same price. Not funny that I sold it, years later for $800. :-P

As an example, original PAF pickups. All were different because they were hand wound, so there is really no, consistent PAF sound. Some were great, others not so much. But, it kills me that Gibson always hypes each new iteration of their pickups as, sounding like PAFs.

Oooooooh Carol !!!

I'm guessing Fender was getting tired of the 1% profit margin, they were working on.

I guess a purist would say, that if it's not as it came from the factory, its a parts caster, even if all Fender parts. But, these are instruments, and players will modify them to their tastes. I bought a used AS Strat, with a gorgeous '60s style 3 color sunburst, off of reverb. It still had the...

The Stones started out as an "R&B, Blues" band, covering older artists, like Chuck Berry, on their first two albums, then got more commercial with their music.

I liked Young's first album but that's it. He reminds me of a hippy from the 60's that never grew up. Lennon was OK, kinda crazy though. :-)

"Stand By Me" by Ben E King.

Just don't like his attitude or his in your face politics.
