I've never owned a 62 before but they've always been my favourite to look at! Plays great and sounds like a strat should. I'm a fan.

Details? Which is it?>

Japanese 62 ri, I was offered one of the USA versions but found it hard to justify the extra cost. This ones from 2005.

I would have sworn it was- it's almost identical to one I had. Does it have the Anni sticker on the back of the headstock?

timmysoft

Yeah, 50th on the back of the headstock!

Where did you get it? It doesn't happen to have a very distinctive wood figuring at the back of the neck behind the 8th fret or thereabouts?

timmysoft

A chap in Bristol, the neck is pretty plain on this one.

Beautiful! A year older than mine. I adore the necks on these. 

What pups has it got in it? 

Happy NGD!

Just been getting to grips with the strat. I've never owned a guitar where tiny adjustments like pickup heights, action and string choice make such a huge difference to the tone. The clarity even under heavy distortion is unreal, it's a mega piece of kit.

Something I've started enjoying is using a bright, detailed single coil and a thicker humbucker layered in a recording playing heavy riffs. It means you can pile on the sludge for the humbucker, but the clarity still really cuts through.

I now want a 2 guitar band with a tele and a metal guitar because I reckon it would sound genuinely great.
