>Stripped of their pickguards and loaded with exotic tremolo systems and high-gain humbuckers, these guitars were made to be played loud and fast. Some were homemade parts Strats, hot-rodded in garages across America. Others were mass-produced impersonators. In 1988, Fender introduced the first model worthy of its headstock: the HM Strat.
Wow what a fancy way of saying "we failed the consumer by refusing to offer humbuckers for decades, so they and the market went elsewhere to have their demands met"

Yeah, this is a slightly older pic. I put a little scratch on the logo decal when smoothing it out.. I’m going to let it slide for now but if I Bork it any further I’ll probably sand it down and start over. Luckily the entire neck had a satin finish so I didn’t have to sand much to lay down the vinyl sealer, so if I do have to start over there’s plenty to work with.

Thanks man. I probably come off as a bit of a gear queer but I really only over indulge on instruments because the more I have the more I play. I am forcing myself to stop buying for a while and enjoy what I have, and record some of the music I’ve written since I started expanding the collection last year. Last year this time I had 5 guitars, now I have 15 not counting acoustics lol..

Three currently, an old ass Yamaha FG-410 (my first guitar, pictured above), a black Yamaha FX-355C from the late aughts, and a budget Indian Yamaha I bought in Traverse City to help out a small music store that I leave at the cottage I have up there. I know, I should really factor in a good acoustic and have been wanting a 00-15 but I don’t play acoustic much and keeping getting distracted with fender offsets. I really should though, many of my first worthwhile songs were written on the abomination above.

I've been putting off buying a good acoustic for most of my life. I just don't play one enough and when I do, it's for camping and to the beach. Buying used electrics to unfuck is more fun anyway. Just get another fender, you know you want to.

Me too. I’ve got an old Takamine and an even older dirt cheap garage sale fine Franciscan but even when I get the bug to buy something nice I never do. I like playing electric and for all of my acoustic needs those are fine. It’s hard to justify spending Martin money when I already hardly play my acoustics, but spending that same money on an electric isn’t that big of a deal to me because I play electric all the time

I had one of the OG Stratacoustics back in the day. They’re just a bit too Inbetween for me. I haven’t played the modern ones but I really don’t care for the aesthetic. One thing I will give the old Stratacoustic is that the neck legitimately felt like a Strat neck, or at least a decent MIM Strat neck.

When Fender approaches me to make a guitar like they did Kurt:
shape: symmetrical double cutaway Telecaster
bridge: modern 2 point strat trem
neck: chunky C with 12 inch radius, stainless steel jumbo frets. maple fretboard. strat headstock shape, only Fender logo
Electronics: Exposed HB in bridge, strat pickup in neck. Cream plastics. no pickguard, pups mounted in the tonewood. 3 way switch, master vol and tone. aesthetic silver switch to split the humbucker.
tonewood: alder
finishes: black or vintage white
price: 3500 dollars

if gibson approaches me for a custom guitar, it's going to be a semi hollow, neck-thru flying V with a bigsby. curly maple body in violin burst with slotted peghead tuners. humbucker in the neck and middle wired out of phase like a strat. $3499

my friend you do not understand guitar, i play for 17 years (since age 12, i am 19 now). the tone is not from finger or amp, is from wood vibration. mahogany have the sustain like violin, alder is cheap because it float in water. if you want metal you must use floyd rose because it double note, is science. many people stupid think pedal do distortion but no, distortion come from string gauge, i use 13s in drop D# standard. learn from me, i play stairway intro PERFECT with only 2 fingers. also i invent technique called "reverse hammer pick", is faster than shred but you probably not ready for that yet.

jazz guitar is easy, my friend, you only need know secret chord. it is called “minor 7” once you play this, everybody say you sound like wes montgomery. important: never use pick, always finger because pick kill the jazz tone. also string must be flat wound .14 gauge or more, if not you cannot play real jazz. for amp, only use clean channel but turn bass full, treble off, mids half, this is official jazz setting. remember: in jazz there is no wrong note, only wrong player.

He's framing the entire series off the idea that the student is either completely new to music or has very little understanding of theory. It picks up even though it has the classic "one take wonder" with 1990's cadence vibe to it. I find it charming personally.

They've always been overpriced but their prices have kept up with inflation. A LP standard today costs the same as it did in the 90's when adjusted, picrel. While their quality control couldnt be more inconsistent, their pricing always has been kek. Not accounting for the fake relic jobs and mod shop memes of course.

I traded my Jagstang for an early 60s Teisco back in the day. It was a plank of planks (honestly they both were, but the Jagstang was obviously a bit better and more serviceable). That Teisco was a total piece of shit, but illl be damned if it wasn’t pure vibe. It had a natural finish with black pickguard and a bigsby. I forget which model, maybe a Del Rey? I pawned it for $20 when I was strung out.
>>
>>127619301
That’s just lawyer speak for if you pull a burning hot guitar or ice cold guitar with nitro finish out of a case and expose it to a sudden temperature change it’ll crack the finish and they’re not responsible. It’s fine to open it now.

Yeah again please tell me how the cheapest model in current year is $1600 due to """inflation"""

The faded studios were definitely about $800 and the fancier ones were a little more than that, but didn't they discontinue the faded series so you more or less have to spend 1.6k for any studio?
>>
Survey time: what tonewoods do you have guitars made out of?
>>
>>127619398
That’s even more confusing. I have no idea what Canadian money was worth then. All I’m saying is they’ve actually gotten cheaper over the years. The main problem with the 2010 era is gibsons were selling like dogshit and they had to keep their prices low to meet low demand. After they fixed most of their QC issues the prices went back up but still not as much as they were in the 90s relatively.
>>

>>127619423
I mean yeah probably, that would definitely be a Gibson move, much like them "re-issuing" the RD with Custom Shop being the only option. I was just pointing out that base model studios were $1400 in 2010, the lower trim variants were certainly cheaper. They shouldn't be that much to begin with but a $300 increase over the course of 15 years isnt insane by any means.

Walnut?

Yeah you are 100% better off buying a used studio from the 90's if you're in the market for one. Granted I always advocate for buying used first whenever possible anyway.

>>
At what point does a guitar stop being depreciated as old used good and starts gaining value as vintage good?
>>
>>127619659
The fewer number of people still alive that were born the year it was made = more valuable. We are the same distance today in 2025 to guitars made in 1995 as people in 1995 were to guitars made in 1965, yet guitars from the 1990s don’t have nearly the wow factor as ones from the 1960s. People say 25 years is vintage but nobody thinks do guitars from 2000 as vintage guitars.

Because times are much faster nowadays. Although zoomers have discovered that era in fashion and music they won't buy some shitty guitars from that era. They probaby were either some edgy trash models aimed to schoolshooters or just vacuous versions of boomer guitars you already had 30 years earlier.
Also guitar fags are the most reactionary people i know. No innovations are accepted so not even pioneering instruments in like the last 4 decades are as interesting as some plank of wood from the 50s.

Everything cheap in construction is made with softwoods and that's the association i have with it. The grain of hardwoods looks more pleasant to my eye.

The guitar I ordered from EGA guitars from the Sweetwater Exchange still hasn't shipped. They printed the label on the 30th, but there's no been no movement and UPS hasn't scanned anything still as of today. I don't think I've been ripped off, maybe they're backed up from Labor Day. I hope someone didn't lose it. Guess I'll contact them tomorrow if they're been no movement.
>>
>>127621276
different strokes for different folks I guess
but the spruce you'd be using in construction is pretty low grade if you aren't using fir 90% of the time. quality spruce is generally for finish work only.
>>
>>127621302
>They printed the label on the 30th
It's been 2 business days since then lol just give them until Friday before shooting them an email.
>>
>>127621349
I just find it weird they printed the shipping label on the 30th and sent a email saying it's been shipped when it hasn't. I guess they're doing that to get around Sweetwater's refund policy? I think if it hasn't been processed as shipped within two days from purchase, Sweetwater automatically refunds you. I didn't know that until I read it earlier.

I've unironically worked in a shipping department before. You typically don't print the label off and then not ship it the same day. You print the label off the same day you hand it over to UPS, Fed Ex or a contracted courier. Something being declared as shipped indicates it changed hands. Doing this way leads to confusion where the package might be.

Also, don't confuse my concern with impatience. I'd wait a week for it if I had to. It's just the way they decided to do this has confused me.

This is a company using the website to sell their stock. They also have their own site and sell on reverb. I just don't understand why they just wouldn't label it as "shipment in process." Maybe gear exchange is just shit in comparison because I'm pretty sure even eBay has a "shipment in process" label.

I'll find out Friday either way. It's highly possible UPS just didn't scan the damn thing. Lots of people who work in shipment nowadays aren't worth a shit.
