Members ArKay Posted October 24, 2007 Author Members Share Posted October 24, 2007 No left handers. Otherwise.... superb guitar!! I'd love a Vintage Strat type, especially one of their "relics", but no maple boards and no lefties kills it for me. Pity - there's little to beat tham at the price. For my money, they just have the edge over the Squiers, which I also like a lot. It has another issue which is weight. They are supposed to weigh around 9 pounds so I don't know yet how comfortable this guitar will be. But I'm curious and that British eBay shop had it for 145 quids.

Members Mazi Bee Posted October 24, 2007 Members Share Posted October 24, 2007 didn't they carry a pretty hefty price tag? I believe they were price in a similar range to MIA Fender. $800 to $1200. I still have an MF catalog with them in it. I'll see if I can dig it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ArKay Posted October 26, 2007 Author Members Share Posted October 26, 2007 how's the trem btw? tuners? old school - stays in tune well? The tuners are fine, vintage style, but I actually like those. And it has a bone nut so it stays in tune nicely. The vibrato is not set up for floating at the moment, it works nicely. It came with 3 installed springs and an extra spring would you like to tighten it more. I don't normally use the whammy bar, but the guitar stays in tune as is if I do a dive, tried it a couple of times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members GarysBlues Posted October 26, 2007 Members Share Posted October 26, 2007 Thats not bad. I hear nothing but good things about Blade's. I HAVE-TO play one. All these years and I'm still in Love with the Strat body style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All these years and I'm still in Love with the Strat body style. Their page lists a distributor in the US, but I only saw a few used ones on eBay. It's probably worth dropping them an email and asking where you can find them. CLOSE MARKETING 4231 S. Natches Ct. Suite E Englewood, Colorado 80110 U.S.A.

Members ArKay Posted October 26, 2007 Author Members Share Posted October 26, 2007 I know I do it to. Lately I been real good though. Me, too. Well, it depends on the guitar. Some come with cheap pickups, hardware and electronics so modding does make sense. I sometimes change the plastic nut on new models, but apart from that most of my new ones are now left stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TheCross Posted October 26, 2007 Members Share Posted October 26, 2007 I guess I just can't believe to get a real great guitar that needs no modding next week for such a nice price :D but I somehow know it is a great guitar....
