Try to sell a pool routed Strat for the same price as a H/S/H or S/S/S Strat. I love being nitpicky when it comes to resale value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JoeBoy Posted July 19, 2005 Members Share Posted July 19, 2005 My #1 guitar is a Strat from that era. Stock and it just beats the hell out of any MIA Strat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mazi Bee Posted July 19, 2005 Members Share Posted July 19, 2005 Originally posted by BootRoots when did they change the routing on American Standards? I have a '97 with a swiming pool route. They used a swimming pool route on all MIA Strats thru 1998. 99 was the first year they started with the h/s/h So according to swimming pool critics, every strat made during the 90s is crap? gimme a break. It makes no difference. just ask SRV, he credited the amazing tone on one of his guitars to the fact it had a pool route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ghastlyone Posted July 19, 2005 Members Share Posted July 19, 2005 You can easily buy used swimming pool route MIA strats and sell them later for same price without losing a dime so I don't see how resale value would matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference in lost wood between HSH and the SP route is minimal. Some people just insist on listening to Ed Romans Bullshit. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members the russ Posted July 19, 2005 Members Share Posted July 19, 2005 600 pounds? that sounds a little high... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vox Boy Posted July 19, 2005 Members Share Posted July 19, 2005 Actually I forgot about the original question. 600lbs translates into something like 1100 U.S. For North American prices that is way to high. Not sure what the going rate in your country is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes no difference. just ask SRV, he credited the amazing tone on one of his guitars to the fact it had a pool route. my two favorite sounding guitars have swimming pool routes. one came that way (Squier Strat) and the other i turned into a swimming pool route after years of pickup/wiring experiments. they each sound fantastic and i think the large route has something to do with it (they have an acoustic tone that my other guitars don't have).

Members Josh S Posted July 19, 2005 Members Share Posted July 19, 2005 My two best strats are '89s. That is a KILLER year for strats- you will not be dissapointed. Buy it!!!

I love being nitpicky when it comes to resale value. I could get $700 for my brownburst '96. That's what I bought it for new. Try selling an '02, '03' etc that you paid a grand for.
