Members TheAtomicJeff Posted March 25, 2006 Members Share Posted March 25, 2006 The color is maroon and it's practically mint, minus a small ding on the headstock. It also allegedly has Texas Specials in it. Not a bad GC score at $250. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MrSage Posted March 25, 2006 Members Share Posted March 25, 2006 Nice!Here's my Mexi. It's "wine red" and the pickups have been replaced with Fender '57/'62s. I also swapped out the knobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members danny60 Posted March 25, 2006 Members Share Posted March 25, 2006 My Mexi is black. I put a white pearloid pickguard on it. Sounds like crap into a guitar port,but give it a real amp......... Peace, Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jeverist Posted March 25, 2006 Members Share Posted March 25, 2006 Do you guys with mexi strats use the bar at all? I was wondering how the trems hold up to some Jimi/SRV style abuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members arexjay Posted March 25, 2006 Members Share Posted March 25, 2006 Mine's daphne blue, pickups soon to be Fralin blues specials w/ a baseplate at the bridge. I need to change the bridge/trem bar because its all kinda off back there, but I'm afraid to because I've never done any work on a strat style guitar before. Any sites with help doing this? I wanna do it myelf rather than pay for someone else to do it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if you look at Number One it has the vintage style tremolos that are used on MIMs but to help keep it in tune you might want to add two more springs.

Members vigor&kandor Posted March 25, 2006 Members Share Posted March 25, 2006 nice score! i sold my 50's mexi start because i wasnt digging it. then i offered some kid $200 for their MIA strat, if i would have had cash right then it would have been mine. i eventualy got it for $300. i put some fender "noiseless hots" in it and swaped out the pickguard.

Members fuzzball Posted March 25, 2006 Members Share Posted March 25, 2006 I got my MIM strat for $250 with soft case, and 2 zoom pedals and a DOD wah, I sold the wah and pedals for $100. Then I put in MIA pickups from an old strat MIA strat that was destroyed.....It sounds awsome. I love the tone I get...sweet and saucy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dang! That's a DEAL! I wished I could keep mine but after buying a hotplate and amp today and an amp last weekend, I'd be wise to return the Strat while I can and recoup some spent cash.
