Members Invader.CC Posted April 15, 2011 Members Share Posted April 15, 2011 I bought this Fender 50 classic series Strat 3 days ago..Although it is some what plain with the single ply pickguard and a pretty plain Fiesta Red Finish (it is actually much lighter in color then showing on pics)..The soft V 7.25 neck and the 50's alinco pups make this a real joy to play.. Plus the fact i paid $250 for it doesn't hurt either.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Firebrand Posted April 15, 2011 Members Share Posted April 15, 2011 That's the kinda price I'm looking for. The neck is same spec size as the Gilmour. Then I'd just need to find a set of dg20 emgs to mess around with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members hecticone Posted April 15, 2011 Members Share Posted April 15, 2011 Congrats but the 7.25 neck would be a deal breaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members twotimingpete Posted April 15, 2011 Members Share Posted April 15, 2011 how'd you get that price? {censored}ing sweet, man. I'll give you $300 for it a lower radius means it's rounder in shape, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bsman Posted April 15, 2011 Members Share Posted April 15, 2011 Pete -- in my experience neck shape and radius are rather independent -- I've found vintage radius (i.e. 7.5") necks that were rather flat in back and modern (i.e. 9.5") radius necks that were round. However, I do find the vintage radius and (especially) tiny frets to be problematic. But c'mon -- for two-fiddy you could certainly afford to bolt on a new neck!!!

Members GAS Man Posted April 15, 2011 Members Share Posted April 15, 2011 I have one in daphne blue and to me it's one of my top favorite playing sounding strats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members brianeharmonjr Posted April 15, 2011 Members Share Posted April 15, 2011 Same price I got mine for, but mine is just a sunburst one. I got it planning to flip it, but it ended up being one of the best feeling and sounding guitars I own, so I decided to keep it. I love 'em. Congrats!

Members TheBlueStrat Posted April 16, 2011 Members Share Posted April 16, 2011 I believe that color is Dakota Red in the 50's series but I should just shut the {censored} up. HNGD!!!! I've been drooling over those 50s series strats for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members csm Posted April 16, 2011 Members Share Posted April 16, 2011 I used to have one ... I found the stock pickups a little shrill, harsh and coarse so I swapped 'em out for a set of Kinman AVn Blues, which were lovely ... however, the (unrolled) neck profile was a little on the sharp-edged side, which started to get on my nerves. Eventually I sold it (along with a Strat Plus) to help finance my Custom Shop Jeff Beck Strat. Let me emphasise, though, that these were entirely subjective and personal quibbles ... it was a seriously well-made guitar, and for someone with tastes and preferences different from mine, it could well be the proverbial canine cojones. So enjoy, play it in good health ... and rock da house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
