Good luck -- I'm curious to find out what this turns out to be!

I'm sorry to hear that -- that's very frustrating...!! :( Just checking... Did you keep the capo on whilst playing and testing or did you take...

Oh, and even if there’s only evidence of scratches near the bass E nut slot, I would still consider the possibility that maybe some or all of the...

Yes, this would likely explain everything. The nut has already been messed with — which totally says “smoking gun” to me...!! Absolutely agree...

I have a tweed Blues Junior and love it but even that is hard to drive properly at “home” volume levels, even with a bit of help from a Waza Craft...

Which looks like it would fit with the date on the neck heel... All told, not a bad find for a hundred bucks!

It's not about the letter in the serial number, it's about where it appears on the guitar. The point about the MIJ / CIJ Fenders is that the...

My first Strat — and my first solid body electric! 1989 MIJ ST54 in candy apple red (what else?!) [ATTACH] Bought it new and it’s still all...

Sorry -- duplicate post -- dumb phone...!

Fabulous! I loved that finish when they first launched this line. Looks great!! I’m gonna agree with the others: Leave that little dink...

That's beautiful! Sonic blue and rosewood has to be one of my favourite combinations. Enjoy!

How did I not spot this thread before...?! :p These are my four MIJ Fenders: [ATTACH] From left to right: ST57 Two-tone 'burst ('87)...

Yes, nice looking ST57 in vintage white! Cloth covered wire too -- implies US pickups in that one...? Mine all have the Japanese plastic bobbin,...

The stamps on the inside can be a bit variable, to say the least! Mine are all different; no apparent standardisation.

Thanks! Yes, the aging on the Sonic Blue is crazy, isn't it?! That's the nature of the polyester topcoats on most of the MIJ Fenders of that...

The three Strats in my avatar are all MIJ '80s guitars and I ain't selling any of them! I have a 1986 "E" serial ST62. It's a beautifully built...

For what it's worth, if you wanted a more "custom color" look, rather than the basic '50s two-tone sunburst, then I'd also be in the camp of...

Love it! Your girls look very happy! I’m totally after a Daphne Blue mini-Jazzmaster! “We” have a black mini-Strat (Mk1, with the proper...

I rather like this -- and she definitely has some variety to her music. It's interesting that there are the typically of-the-moment pop tunes,...

Hmmmmm... Is that part right there (my bold) a big component of the problem...? As much as “proper” valve amps are lovely things, they mostly...

Can't beat a classic Fiesta Red stratocaster -- and the flame in the maple just adds to the vibe. Great looking guitar. Congratulations!

Welcome to another UK member and good hunting! I've heard of a few left-handed players who play "standard" rather than left-handed guitars (Mark...

I'm very much a newbie here myself but welcome! That's a decent 40th present — I'm impressed! The most important thing is: do you enjoy playing...

Back in '89 I *really* wanted a maple-necked Standard Deluxe (i.e. with the Lace sensors but without the roller nut of the Strat Plus) with in Gun...

I'm guessing that's Knopfler's '58 LP...? It may not be the classic Dire Straits out-of-phase Strat / Shecter custom sound but it's definitely a...
