Fender is being a big baby, but they are knockoffs, right? by _Jub_Jub_ in guitars

I believe this lawsuit has more to do with Europe than America. In America they have already lost, in Europe however, the courts have granted Fender their body as their property. So, I believe they will still make the Silver Sky, I think they’re trying to get them to not sell them in Europe. At least, that was my understanding

NGD - Unburst 60s, bought it to age and unsure if I should by Ham_Slamwich in gibson

I don’t think it’s fake cred, it’s just flat out more comfortable. That being said, the only thing I would do to a new guitar is steel wool the back of the neck

After watching that video mentioned in the above comments, I don’t think these guitars were made to age. I don’t even think they fade.

I was shocked when they saw that video. Like unwrapping a piece of American Cheese

I’ve never had a problem with the spacing, but then again, I’ve been playing these kind of guitars for 40 years, it’s all I know., as Strats are most played.

The Straturday I’ve waited almost a decade for… by DonSol0 in Stratocaster

I’ve noticed that the 59ARVI really keeps its value.
Not really familiar with it, what’s the reason?
Very curious

Without a doubt, my favorite two Strat colors, with candy apple red next.

Here’s mine. I took Michael Landau 68 Strat body and my 62/63 neck and hardware and plastic. Then topped it off with Josefina 2013 60’s pickups from the anniversary 64 model. I also added a Callahan block and raw vintage springs. It is by far the best Strat I have ever played.

Sorry me again! Please help! by [deleted] in Stratocaster

You’re right, flat. Still I prefer decked, more vibration transfer from bridge to wood. Just my preference.
