NGD - People either love or hate these lol

Just arrived today 2020 Fender HM Strat Reissue!

Total impulse buy I know lol. The guy at N Stuff even dropped a hundred off when he found a small dent on the horn.

I'm supposed to be working today so I've only played it for about 10 minutes.

It was in tune and the FR appears pretty stable. Flat radius and thinner neck but can still sound like a Strat.

I just wish I still had my 80's hair. Well, any hair would make me happy lol

Congratulations on a vivid new guitar day.


I neither love nor hate them!

Whoa, that thing screams! I dig it, congrats. Not my Favorite Color, but it works on this one. Time to start a 80s cover band I guess

 

[NullPointer]

Love it! Is that extra mini-toggle to split the humbucker? Mind telling us about what you paid?

 

[HazyPurple]

Not too late for spandex

I remember when those were new - now I'm going to go yell at some kids to get out of my yard...

 

[Ace38]

Oh I love that one!

 

[stormsedge]

Very cool! HNGD!

 

[heltershelton]

i always thought those were pretty cool.

Yes it splits the bridge pup. I paid $799 and it came with a Rhino case (never heard of nor can I find info on) that's basically a rebranded Gator GCELEC. One of those lightweight rigid foam cases. Definitely not a throw away.

I think it was a fair price. People are tryna get $900+ for them on Reverb but the average sell price for the last 10 was $800.

Me too lol. I'd see the ads in Guitar Player Mag and think "this looks stupid, nobody want's a heavy metal Stratocaster".

Ahh to be young again.

I NEVER wore spandex. Parachute pants?, Pink button up unbuttoned with a blue tank top?, Capezio dance shoes with no socks? Ruffled shirts with tuxedo tails? "no comment"

 

[Mr_Lahey]

A guitar like that need super slim acid-washed jeans. Time to go all Helix and Rock You!

 

[Exhead]

Nice! HNGD!

 

[PonyB]

I love it, great colour too.

 

[Blue Beagle]

Awesome, congrats.

I bought a 1989 one a couple of years ago in a black crackle finish. Moved it on because the lack of Khaler spares scared me lol.

I’m neither a lover nor a hater - was big into superstrats back in the day but I prefer less hot-rodded guitars now, I don’t deny my past though.

Besides, Greg Howe got some great noises out of these things once upon a time.

UNAPOLOGETIC! I like it! HNGD!
