My friend is selling his '62 strat (not a reissue)

[Jimbilly]

The real thing, I think it's 98% original, sunburst with rosewood fretboard. He's a total straight-shooter to deal with, and a Fender expert so he can and will tell you exactly what (if any) issues there are with it. I've played it a couple of times, I'm always pretty awed by it. He's supposed to be sending me some photos.

I believe he's asking $22k email me and I'll forward it along jimchristensen at yahoo.com

Wow. I am gassin for that, but don't got 22k. Awesome axe! I know someone who has a 57 strat and uses it weekly for gigging.

They should be played. I used to play my '59 Strat out and now I play my '66 335 all the time. Not to dis your buddy's guitar, it's absolutely beautiful, but I prefer guitars that have been played. There's a vibe and playability you get that you don't get with "closet clean" guitars.

[BCR Greg]

I'm interested.

Maybe he can call me.

Love that Slab-board!

Good price, too. Any issues?

[Jimbilly]

Greg, I'll ask him to call you if you'd like, what's a good time for you?

Ken, I don't think it has any issues, it does have some wear on the back of the neck (from playing). I know it has gotten played at least weekly. Or shoot me an email and I'll ask him to email y'all. -Jim

My '65 Jazzmaster has almost no finish left on it. I've thought many times about getting it refinned, but it just feels right the way I set it up and have it now, that I'd hate to monkey with it just to pretty it up a little!

Kiz needs to post pics of his Strat...

[Punkavenger]

Wow! That looks like it could actually be worth 22K as opposed to some of the trash you see on ebay.

Trade for a Hamer Special?

[dermglass]

What is the 2% thats not original?

[Jimbilly]

I'm not sure (not being my guitar and all), I think it may have had a refret.
