WTB: Strat

[Jorge]

I have a $800 budget, shipped and PP'ed.

Must-haves:

-9.5" or higher radius

-original brand guitar, no parts/customs

-7.2 lbs or under

-excellent condition, original frets

-medium jumbo or larger frets

-truss rod access "at the headstock"

Daytonas would be nice, but Fender and others too.

Mexi Strat work?

It looks like the going price for a recent USA Fender strat is $700 - $800. Not sure about weight, radius, or frets. The Eric Johnson model Fender is about $1,100 and from what I read that's about as nice a Fender as you are going to get, except maybe custom shop. The G&L Legacy is trading about $650 and those are nice strats: the "L" in G&L stands for Leo Fender, it was his last company. Good luck with your search.

Hmm, my 2008 misses on the weight (almost 8 on the dot)... and has a bone nut and a Callaham trem block.

Mexi Strat work?

Some models, like the Tex-Mex Strat, Jimmie Vaughan Strat and the Deluxe Powerhouse Strat, would. Probably not the Standard, though, unless they were well upgraded.

Don't be flashing that around, it's still a fairly large blip on my radar and I'm hoping my need for a strat comes before anyone else stumbles across it /emoticons/default_wink.png

'94 USA G&L Legacy... lake placid blue, rosewood, case... fine condition. Prev owner added an S-500 switch to allow all pickups on at same time. Could probably do under $600 shipped.

[Jorge]

Bumpity. Fender, G&L, EBMM Silhouette Speciall all work. /emoticons/default_wink.png

[Jorge]

Bump.

How about a Sunburst American special Strat. Hum Single Single, black guard, rosewood neck. Excellent condition.

would sell you my strat, but it is my main gig axe and I would probably shoot myself later for doing it.

Fender USA Strat's

The one on the left is a 2002 USA Texas Special. It does not fit your criteria being it's been used and abused. It sounds great! I'd let it go with the tweed case for $700. All my Strat's have one volume and one tone control. The neck and bridge have no tone control. The neck has a fixed 270 or 320 K ohm resistor with a .02uF cap. I can't have the top knob on my Strat's I bump it.

I like this post. It looks like you will have some nice Strat's to pick from. Hopefully someone will post a Daytona!

I hope I have answeered everything. I got a couple so far, looking for more, thanks.
