    What did you learn on?

    I learned on a second hand drum kit…………..still a better drummist than guitarist………….which doesn’t say much for either of my ‘talents’ 😃😃

    Strat with 22 fret neck no overhang

    Many years ago I made a body from an old sapele door. Got me a neck from a Strat copy. Great neck. 23 years later it’s getting a bit worn. 22 frets, no overhang. All tge questions I was going to ask are here. May be looking at an (eventual) re-fret. Thanks guys.

    Price reversal?

    Always thought new Strats in the US were cheaper than in the UK. Just looked at the Player series. Dave’s listing them at about £710, my local shop has £630.

    Where is the line between genuine/original and partscasters?

    Yep. Strat is a generic term for type of guitar. In these cases the body defines them a Strats. If one had a Tele neck fitted, it would generally be described as a Strat, possibly with a mention re the swapped neck. The attached is a Ford model A, even though little of it is! Again, generic, the...

    Do you often play your Strat unplugged?

    Most days. Pick it up, noodle, put it down………maybe once, maybe a dozen times.

    I've always thought it was stupid, pointless, wasteful and pathetic. Just my opinion.

    Doesn't really help does it? Hee, hee :)

    Where is the line between genuine/original and partscasters?

    Your last para doesn't make sense? Until they are assembled, they couldn't be off the same guitar, it didn't exist! I take your point though, if Fender, or anyone, sent you a complete ship set of Strat parts, once assembled you'd have a Fender Strat. It surely doesn't matter where they were put...

    Where is the line between genuine/original and partscasters?

    Tend to agree but.............swap out, say, a '95 maple neck for a '95 rosewood and what have you got? Technically, it could have left the factory like that. All Fender, just the production schedule on the day decided the combination.

    I’ll maybe try stringing the Strat with a set, thanks

    Well, I’ve always had my action on the high side, are you suggesting even higher for 9s?

    Don't leave your curly lead in the case or this could happen !!

    I just wonder what it did to a vintage curly lead. Probably halved it’s value,

    What's with this finger board?

    I would agree with your theory.

    PV 60 plastics don’t match up - or am I crazy?

    Different plastics age in different ways. I reckon Fender have it spot on. All the same shade would look artificial, just like bad relicking 😀

    What the heck happened in the early days of Mexico

    We only had Aztecs for about ten years from the late 60s.. They were Cadbury’s answer to the Mars bar. Bit too sickly for my liking.

    Not getting this, seem to have crawdaddy’s answer to a question from Balston 11 that I don’t see?

    Tight and lose

    I swapped all of my guitars to 9s some while back. I tend to just pick the one that takes my fancy at the time when playing and going from 10s to 9s has definitely helped my technique, well, mostly. Last night for a rehearsal I went with my 2006 MIA Strat, standard or series, I can’t remember...

    What's with this finger board?

    If the strings don't actually touch the board I would imagine it will also mean that statements like 'I prefer rosewood, maple, pau, ebony, Weetabix' will no longer be heard.
