Thanks again!


Angelo,

... a Fender Mustang - I could have known because I had the opportunity to play on one once in the sixties. But while vintage guitars get more precious over the years, vintage brains just ... forget it.

But that' really a great axe that you've got, yessiree

About 1966 I bought a Fender Esquire which was - compared to a then unaffordable Strat - cheap. A couple of years later I had to have a black and white Strat (like J. Hendrix played one then) and delivered the Esquire in part payment. That was one of my very big mistakes: The Strat was one of the first CBS models and it was a desaster on all levels. And do you know what people pay for an Esquire these days? Crazy...

But no whining: I own a 1977 Les Paul Custom, a Jeff Beck Signature Strat and - funny - a Mexican Fat Strat with a Floyd Rose tremolo. Altogether more than enough for an old fart who only picks up a guitar when he needs a solo for a new song cool

Thanks for the info and stay safe,

Stefan


Thanks Stefan! This is my 1st Fender which as you know belonged to my father. Played Ibanez before. Well, I have to say that I've been pleasantly surprised by the sound of the Fender! I'm a fan now! The only downside is that the tremolo is quite useless because there is nothing preventing the strings to get untuned so after a couple of whammy bar uses you have to tune the strings again.
As far as I can read your message you have quite a nice collection of guitars!
