  1. Says swamp ash with solid brass hardware. I like the DC Jr with the dark walnut stain. Could be a fun beater.
  2. SRVs #1 guitar was a pretty beat when he got it from Ray Hennig's heart of texas music. It use to belong to Chistopher Cross.
  3. shocking. dude tried to sell one of the guitars for $250. outrageous. a private security guard, what a {censored}tard.
  4. HNAD, my next purchase.
  5. She going to cover Puppy Love or Dirty Old Egg Suck'in Dog?
  6. Sure, Less {censored} to worry about. Wireless with a bluetooth in year monitor. Walk out do your thing and walk off.
  7. Great if you could do that. Are those new bent steel saddles off center like the american series saddles? I just bought one of those Fender mexi trems off amazon for $13. It has the full size block like the new MIMs. Just messured infront of the saddles. 2.076." - 52.73mm
  8. Then why does fender say with the American standard and new bent steel saddles "Then Fender improved them; narrowing the spacing to afford more room" Bridge Component Specifics American Standard saddles - The original vintage-style Fender bent steel adjustable saddle is one of the components that give vintage Fenders their tonal 'mojo.' Fender conducted tone comparison tests, and fell in love with them all over again. They have a wider tonal range and more character many other saddles. Then Fender improved them; narrowing the spacing to afford more room (and complement the bigger frets and rolled edges), elongated the string slot to reduce friction and string breakage, and improved the string break angle over the primary contact point
  9. I'm reading some misinformation in this thread. For one, the "current" MIA Standard Strats do have a wider string and bridge spacing than the MIM Standards. And I don't believe the "current" MIM Standards have a laminate top either. Also, I've owned a 2006 MIM Standard Strat and a 2007 Standard Strat and both of them came with CTS pots and not Alpha pots. MIM Standards have a 42mm nut and the American Standards have a 42.8mm nut. MIA strats are 2 1/16 bridge string spacing. RI starts and classic series and road worn MIMs are vintage 2 7/32." Calaham has them listed here for ordering model and years. http://www.callahamguitars.com/blocks.htm
