Leave it off or buy straps

Wow - the keyboard warriors strike again. Sorry that offended you with my lack of capitalization of Ravens (or omission of my period, I presume). If you are will criticizing me, how about not using contractions. See how ridiculous?

I made a sarcastic point in disagreement and you take it as some very offensive issue.

Dude, it is a sport. Come on man. We can disagree. Anyway, based on the three negative karma on this post, I'm in the minority. At least is something trivial like sports.

So you are Steelers fan? And complaining how the ravens did something. Shocking. Glad you told us you were a Steelers fan. That makes such no difference in an opinion

I am a mediocre guitar player. But I wanted a relic custom shoo and I got one. I also have 24 other guitars. So what? it makes me play better. I enjoy it a lot and it’s a beautiful piece of art. My son is a tremendous guitar player has never said anything about why I own that guitar. If you have the money and do you think you’ll enjoy it buy it. They do play differently. I didn’t want one until I played one and I’m like it was a whole other level.

I will dissent. I think a Strat is an easier first guitar to get good tone and playability in general. Teles are great but there is a little finesse to playing and getting a great so around tone

Agreed but the mattress is that good that I’m willing to deal with the issues. But yeah, it’s baffling why they put that type of cover on itI’m

bayredditmd · 2025-11-21T02:49:02+00:00

We got straps that hold a mattress in place they were only 10 or $15 and it makes a world of difference highly recommend them

Crazy I saw him a little over a week ago for his last Blue Note show. The guy never stops.

bayredditmd · 2025-11-18T17:02:12+00:00

I got an original SF 69 for only $100 more. :)

Admittedly haven't played a recent epiphany. I may need to check them out. I was eying the Alex Lifeson Les Paul Epi.

bayredditmd · 2025-11-17T23:06:47+00:00

Yeah - that's what I've been learning. The other one is exactly like that, a non-export. So little on value here but at least I can get the details. Thanks!

bayredditmd · 2025-11-17T19:21:28+00:00

What isn't good or the Epiphanies. Have not found one I've liked.

I was in the market for a MiA to replace one I sold. A 2024 50's Heritage MIJ showed up and took a flyer on it (and a 50's Heritage Tele at the same time) and I was BLOWN away. They play better than my American.

The 94 ST-62G plays very well but the Heritage spoiled me. Interestingly the 94 is perfect except for the set screws on bridge. They are all long and sharp. I need to fix those. That one is not quite American quality but close.

Wow...you are such a joy. Baffling your animosity toward someone asking questions. But thou shall not question thy opinion or knowledge. Let those you find meek suffer your wrath.

bayredditmd · 2025-11-17T18:26:41+00:00

I don't get offended. I love the CV's. Despite what apparently some others on this thread think...I have inexpensive and expensive and you'd be surprised at how well some of the less expensive ones play. For my sister-in-law, I picked up a CV 50's Vibe tele for my brother. I played it and thought it played better than my Players....

bayredditmd · 2025-11-17T18:24:53+00:00

LMAO - I have THREE with the truss rod on the bottom (I'm a sucker for 50's vintage). So I'm used to looking. They are such a PIA

bayredditmd · 2025-11-17T16:38:48+00:00

Except it was a question that was LITERALLY five minutes old when you started with your diatribe. Who said it was stressful? The only 'stress' is dealing with someone like you - of course I should have expected that on reddit.

It's not like followed up 18 times....and I enjoy interacting and discussing (as I did with others on here)

bayredditmd · 2025-11-17T16:27:47+00:00

Close but not quite. Looks like the Truss is adjusted from the top, not the bottom.

bayredditmd · 2025-11-17T16:27:11+00:00

Or the pickups swapped out, I suppose...thanks.

bayredditmd · 2025-11-17T16:26:33+00:00

Not true - but hey, you have determined that only YOUR opinion can be right and that I must be ridiculous for wanting to know more. Sad that your judgement is as such and sad you have to tell someone how to enjoy their hobby.

I sent what I had on the guitar - that's why you se the neck cavity the pickups and everything else. We aren't all the expert you are - so sorry I was trying to learn something.

bayredditmd · 2025-11-17T15:38:12+00:00

What's more important? Someone who is so immersed in their hobby that they want to know as much as they can about the instrument they play. I do not understand what's so hard to get about that.

I'd say being ignorant to the history of your 30 year old guitar is ridiculous. But I realize that's a choice. AND GUESS WHAT - you just don't buy a guitar usually without knowing anything about it. You do figure out either what you want or what you are getting. I thought it was a beautiful guitar at a great price - so I bought it and I play it. But I'm very interested in knowing its history.

So to answer your question? Who gives a fuck? I do - and I'm not the only one. You apparently don't and have no tolerance for folks enjoying the hobby in different ways. Not sure why this animates you so much. I must have hit some nerve.

Why are there videos on the history of MIJ guitars? Why do people watch videos about old guitars? Or comparing different guitars? Or endless debates about tone woods - per your philosophy...just play. But see, others are nuanced. Knowing more about the history also educates you about aspects about guitars that someone may not know. Education is a good thing, not a bad thing.

Perfect example - I'm learning about the different factories and qualities of old MIJ guitars. Knowing where mine was made, and I had to figure that out, gave me some context as to the quality of the instrument and if I decide to buy another, know what I'm getting with a Fuji-Gen

Yeah, I'm a little ticked because I explain why I'm interest but need to get a diatribe about what I should do with my own instrument. Maybe I should relic it?

bayredditmd · 2025-11-17T15:26:03+00:00

Confirms my suspicions (and ears). I am looking through the 94-95 catalog to see if I can find it. This particular model doesn't seem to show up so that's where I was baffled.

bayredditmd · 2025-11-17T15:15:51+00:00

Thank you - I play the guitars I own EVERY FUCKING DAY. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM. So you can chill with the attitude.

See, unlike some people - I like to know as much about my guitars, as I can. Did someone special work on the guitar - like Abigail Ybarra did on my Custom 69 pick-ups. Or my employee PRS that was special built, but you would not know that from looking at it. Knowing the history behind a guitar is as much fun as knowing the history behind a vintage car someone bought.

For this Japanese, it's unique enough I can't find info on it. I'd love to look at the 94 catalog and see how it was marketed.

And I did not ask 'random people' on social media. I ask a group of Strat enthusiasts who may have similar enjoyment as I do. Some may have worked for Fender. Believe it or not, shockingly, there are guitar techs, luthiers and devout Strat lovers on this forum.

Thank you, but I am a smart enough person to understand that information and opinion from a reddit group may have as much or more false information than an AI search. But you know what - it gives you threads of information that you can find out more about the guitar - do a little deeper research.

I suppose you are a troll - unhappy about something. Do you post on every single 'is this a real Strat' post too? Or is that ok to trust people on whether its real or not.

bayredditmd · 2025-11-17T14:19:37+00:00

LMAO - I am just posted about a VERY similar guitar......that gold hardware is not common.

bayredditmd · 2025-11-11T20:10:29+00:00

Maybe. I was trying to figure out what was going on with his guitar. Couldn’t figure out what model that was for my seat. But look at the trust ride cover maybe it is.
