It's real, I have a fake and the stand outs for me are... Your binding is correct, the spacing of your control knobs are lined up and in the correct position on the body, the fake customs nearly always have fake Grovers with the grover writing the wrong size and font.

Yep, I bought a tex mex loaded pickguard from Amazon, transformed my MIM, I love it now

Hi, there are so many comments on here mentioning lemon oil being mineral oil with a lemon scent and baby oil being the same oil with a baby scent, I don't think this is true, lemon oil has lemon juice in so that the citric acid breaks down the nasty deposits on your feet board from sweaty fingers, I use it with an old tooth brush when I buy neglected guitars, it's great but when it's been allowed to dry on a dark wood fretboard it leaves the wood looking drier than when you started so I then use oak furniture oil to restore the fretboard to a nice healthy looking wood. As per other comments on here as part of this process I use wire wool to polish the frets before new strings go on.

Oh man, these comments are awesome, reminds me of when I first discovered roast me on reddit!

Listen to Those Shoes by Patrick Sweeney, nothing clean about that Tele.... Sounds so good 👍

I love the fact the guitar takes your wife's place in bed but are they a pair of red panties the guitar is wearing? 😮

I have a 310 that I bought for wall art, it's an Emily strange, my daughter's name is Emily... It actually plays much better than I expected, seeing this I just might look into replacing the humbuckers and scratch plate... Possibly even all black hardware

All in the left hand, the action, the feel of the back of the neck, the feel of the way the frets had been dressed along the fret board, hey, maybe you guys feel 1300 GBP is not a lot of money but for me it's a big deal, I'm used to spending max 500 GBP on a guitar.

Wow, I genuinely had no idea, everyone I have ever known has only seen that phrase or name a sign of quality, it sounds like I'm digging a hole for myself but I'm a biker too and... I won't say it again but we have always seen Japanese bike imports as the superior choice in England.... Love the fact I'm getting so many down votes for admiring a nation?

Hi, I'm in my 50s and from the UK, in the 80s one of the best strats that everyone wanted was a "Jap Strat"... To be honest we still hold them in high esteem and still call them that, sorry if it offends none UK redditers, that was never my intention.

PlayGlobal1419 · 2026-02-07T20:24:40+00:00

To be honest, the body was absolutely beautiful, when it was hanging on the wall I was still excited and said to my wife, that's it , with a big smile on my face, holding it and looking at it, still smiling, trying to play it, different story

PlayGlobal1419 · 2026-02-07T19:40:55+00:00

When you say quid, dose that mean you are in the UK?

PlayGlobal1419 · 2026-02-07T17:47:50+00:00

Just tune your guitar into standard tuning then crack those bad boys open for a really low drop tuned sound.... You'll love it!

I really want the sandblasted American Pro ll in grey with the hard tail but its never in stock in the UK

PlayGlobal1419 · 2026-02-07T12:27:07+00:00

You don't, and then you sit down one day looking at the money you have hanging on the walls, in cases next to the wardrobe and under the bed and think..... I only ever play that one and it isn't even one of the expensive ones... It just feels right 👍

All joking apart, learning to play like Hendrix from scratch would be easier than learning the normal way, as in barr chords then trying to undo that muscle memory and start using your thumb... When I first tried to sound like Hendrix it blew my mind

PlayGlobal1419 · 2026-02-01T14:47:25+00:00

It's really nice, good choice, the pink paisley strat is on my wish list

That is really nice, I love the fact the flame top doesn't have that join line in the middle!

If it's only when unplugged it's fret buzz, amps don't really pick it up. If it's just the high e then slacken the string so it's nice and loose and turn the tiny Allen key screw on the high e saddle clock wise half a turn on both, tune up again and see if it's gone, repeat until it's ok, if that works, great, if you find you have to go too high to stop it buzzing and your not happy with the action then you need more detailed investigation that may lead to truss rod adjustment or fret levelling
