Members _pete_ Posted October 4, 2006 Members Share Posted October 4, 2006 Originally posted by Matter-Eater Lad That's really too bad about his original Strat, the repairman planing it down. You sometimes hear about these big time guitarists getting their prized axe messed up and it surprises me that they'd let it out of their sight. He says he gave it to his roadie, who THEN brought it to a repairman. I don't know why he doesn't get Fender to make him a replacement. No {censored}. I would think that any top notch luthier would jump at the chance to make a new board for Ritchie. The fact that they made the neck for Ritchie's #1 Strat would be great advertising for themselves.

Members jmartin Posted October 4, 2006 Author Members Share Posted October 4, 2006 The problem is,its not actually a bolt-on anymore. He glued all his bolt-on necks into thier sockets to "stabalize" them. If it were still a bolt-on, Im sure he would have simply replaced the neck with one from one of his other strats. But he started gluing the necks of his strats back in the '70s,lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
