That's really nice .

Back when I started getting into guitars I didn't like the CBS-headstock Strats, I thought the head was ugly. But after a long time I began to realise that it was an important part of the tone of these later 60s and early-70s Strats, and eventually I came to accept it, then actually prefer it. It makes the tone clearer and deeper, in my opinion - the mass of the headstock is about a third greater than the pre-CBS type, and it definitely affects the resonance of the neck.

I really regret not buying a black-refinished rosewood-board original 1969 Strat (technically a very early '70 from one of the original pot codes, but everything else was dated late '69) off a friend of mine about ten years ago -  the best Strat I've ever played.

(By the way, edit the photo link so it's just the "http:… " bit or it won't show up in the post - or better still don't use Photobucket . I've switched to Imgur, it's much easier and better.)

ICBM i agree on the headstock then i saw a friend playing a large headstock strat and thought it was really funky.

I also love maple on maple fretboard, and they have a slightly different sound than a one piece. these early ones also don't have the reverse wound middle pickup just how i like them, but i will have to get a 5way switch for it.

It's about as close as i can get to jimi's strat

Big headstock so are the best. Very nice looking guitar that one!

My guitar hero in my youth was Blackmore so I've always loved the 70s headstock. Then there's that Hendrix bloke..... Wonderful looking guitar - I'm jealous.

I've gotta speak out for the small headstock fans (of which I'm one) - it's not how big it is, it's what you do with it that counts!

Thanks guys, always loved the big headstock but hated the bullet truss on later models so when fender released these i had to have one bought my first one in 2001.

This one is a 2000 and in mintish condition
