. . and i love that dark burst strat.
You’ve got some beauties! I agree it is the classic strat look. So 50’sI remember purposely going out to get a sunburst Strat because I’d never had one and I thought it was the quintessential Stratocaster look. I ended up coming home with a black one. That happened twice and then finally I found one I liked. Then I found another so I had two sunburst Strats. Then I realized my acoustic was a burst, my bass was a burst and my two semi hollow body guitars were bursts. I have no idea how I became so drawn to them but obviously I am.

I like that dark burst squire
Thanks.....$89 atGC!
Yeah, the Silvertone still needs help....another project that keeps getting delayed. The neck needs to be reset...and not by me! I had some money set aside and intention to schedule that just this week, but I bought a used Martin acoustic insteadI hope you're putting that silvertone back together.
Nadzap is that acoustic a Yamaha FG830?

The tuner buttons have also crumbled away so I need new buttons, or a set of new tuners and it will also need a bridge. Finding something original may be impossible. I will likely go with the shop's recommendation of using a tuneomatic bridge. Other than that, it's in great shape
Both times I talked to shops for opinions/options they offered for me to bring it in and sell it to them. That's not going to happen.

FG735S - I think it was the predecessor to the 830. GC special run, if memory serves.
I happened to pluck an FG830 at a music store last week and was impressed with its liveliness. Bound dreadnaught, solid Spruce top, rosewood sides and back, scalloped bracing. If anyone is interested, Sam Ash Stores is blowing some out on ebay right now for $253. I ordered one. A good kick around player when you don't want to take out your Martin.
