 CLASSIC PLAYER 60S STRATOCASTER ELECTRIC GUITAR - SONIC BLUE

•   Recreation of a 60s Strat, designed by Master Builder, Greg Fessler

•   Alder body with Sonic Blue polyester finish

•   Maple neck with C Shape profile

•   12 inch radius rosewood fingerboard with 21 medium jumbo frets and dot inlays

•   2 point synchronized tremolo bridge with vintage style stamped steel saddles

Pick ups replaced with  Lindy Fralin 54's . Work/Parts on the strat just shy of £300. Trem bloc and trem replaced with Callahan.

Back of neck stripped back to wood - smooth and fast, no stickiness. Expertly set up with 10's. All work carried out by Charlie Chandler. £600.  £550.

The only trades I would consider is a tele with a rosewood neck that is light in weight with a relatively slim neck and real mojo.

Based in Surrey Hills between Guildford and Dorking. I have a  Fender gig bags with it.

Apologies for not replying - Have been out all evening.

What's the neck profile like on the Tele mate?

Neck profile is medium/ slim - definitely not super skinny and definitely not baseball bat. Hope that helps.

James you are so right. It has no right to be as good as it is but it is !

When I picked it up from Charlie after he had completed some work on it there was a famous/name guitarist collecting a 50's Les Paul with 2 P90's.
I am ashamed to say I didn't recognise him but was introduced.
Anyhow after some discussion we both played and compared each other's respective guitars.
He genuinely & without encouragement suggested that mine was not a million miles away from his in respect of feel, tone etc despite his being ridiculously more expensive than mine.
I was genuinely flattered.

Sadly I very rarely pick it up as I mostly play acoustic these days and if I plug in I instinctively pick up my dependable old battered Jap Tele.

Thanks for the bump but I will not strip these guitars. If they  don't float anyone's boat as is I will gladly hang on to them.

Any reason you have two UserIDs? That's against forum rules...

jim.kehoe2

Wasn't aware I did - Maybe due to recently joining the 21st century & joining Facebook? Or I have also changed e-mails due to changing internet providers. 
Alternatively maybe due to confusion as a result of old age & retirement........No idea.
i haven't been on the forum for some time due to GAS suppression.
Happy to do whatever is required to put right . No deception involved or intended.

Lovely looking guitars... What's the neck profile like on the LP?

Chalky

If @Gassage knows Jim then that's good enough in my book. If that LP neck is chunky....

Jim is an unmettled cul-de-sac on the information superhighway.

Medium I would say. Not skinny but definitely not baseball bat. I am not a lover of big chunky necks.
Only got small hands!

I have just unearthed the receipts for the work that Charlie did on all three and despite his penchant for using invisible ink on his receipts I can confirm the following:

Strat pick ups are in fact Lindy Fralin 54's not Lollars. Work/Parts on the strat just shy of £300.

Work/parts on Epic Les Paul Special - £350.

Cabronita has TV Jones Powertron bridge also. Work on the Tele Cabronita including cost of pick ups and bridge and putting together and setting up (Not including cost of body, neck and other sundry parts) just short of £400.

All great guitars that deserve to be used much more than at present.

@jimkehoe ;

Operating multiple IDs here generally results in an instant ban.

But there's clearly no subterfuge intended in your situation.  I've renamed your second ID to remove your email address from public display (you really don't want to do that!).  I've also changed the pw on that ID so you won't be able to log in to use it.

If you originally registered email address (@btinternet) is no longer valid & working, let me know via PM, and I can update that too.

jimkehoe

Thank you for that - I think it is linked to Facebook as I pressed the button to log on with Facebook and maybe it then created a second account, possibly because my Facebook account uses a different e-mail?
Anyhow I will try and make sure I only enter site with my original ID.
Thanks TTony & apologies for my IT ineptitude.

jimkehoe

Bump.

jimkehoe

Change of plan - Cabronita and Les Paul special withdrawn.

Only Strat available now,

Also considering offering up my vintage silver face vibrolux reverb, a THR10 & Ditto X2 looper.

Any interest pm me please.

jimkehoe

Bump......
