OK, this is what it is; a refinished, refretted 1964 strat with replaced machineheads and bridge saddles/block.

With lovely checking that you can't quite see.

Jaydee did the refin. It weights around 7.4lbs.

I have actually bought this only to re-sell it and a lucky forumite has dibs on it. But in the meantime, I can enjoy it!

    Lovely! I have a '64 which I had refinished by Clive Brown about 15 years ago in three tone burst. I wish it was Oly White now though!

    I sincerely wish my 3TSB AVRI was OW.

    I wouldn't swap my 3TSB 1960 for any other. It's magnificent.

    You and your pesky facebook-hosted photos - they get blocked at work  :((
    Always be yourself! Unless you can be Batman, in which case always be Batman.
    My boss told me "dress for the job you want, not the job you have"... now I'm sat in a disciplinary meeting dressed as Batman.

    As I'm a '64, it would be a random act of generosity to simply give it to me. Imagine how smug you could feel about having helped out a man less fortunate than yourself - imagine feeling like Sting - that's what it would be like but without the innate twattishness.....

    Should I PM you my address?

    Sadly I too am 1964. January - so is the guitar.

    Yep, Oly white is the best rosewood strat colour for sure.

    I can't help about the shape I'm in, I can't sing I ain't pretty and my legs are thin

    But don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to

    No, three-tone sunburst is. Fact.

    Well, I have a confession.

    It was very dark last night when I collected. I am also a little poor with night and colour vision.

    So, for the record, it's Sonic. Honestly. And that's even better.

    Sonic's good too. When Clive Brown refinished my '64 years ago he found a tiny trace of the original colour in one of the cavities, and it was apparently the same blue, whatever it's called, as the one on the front of the Ultimate Guitar Book. That would have been very cool now, though I still went for 3TSB, now rather more aged some 15 years later.

  • Not a bad looking guitar but it needs a few things to be addressed being a Floyd Rose/locking nut, and put in some EMG 81/85's.

    Really nice.
     so if you fancy a reissue of a guitar they never made in a colour they never used then it probably isn't too overpriced.
