I have fallen!!!

[Astrofreq]

I bought an old Strat on Friday. I'm still a Music Man addict, but does this mean I could be changing to the dark side? It's a vintage strat (1980), so hopefully my EB forum peers will still accept me as a lover of balls. You gotta admit, it's a beauty . . . the brass hardware, the NINE pickup options. I JUST COULDN'T RESIST!! I'm so sorry! Don't forever cast me from the forums, please . . .

Believe me, I still love Music Man, I just thought the others should know of my weakness. I swear it won't happen again . . .

Keep me in your prayers through these trying times.

[peterd79]

Oh it´s a THE STRAT, the first attempt of them to make a modern guitar.
Nice colour but now you have to buy another EBMM for not getting banned and misusing BP´s bandwidth.
Have fun with it, buddy. (although you won´t play it often;-)

 

[peterd79]

I'll Chime in again on this one... get rid of the Gold Volume and Tone Knobs... and go with a tortise shell pickguard and black knobs...

[kompressaur]

a little bit of something else does you good

 

[Banger]

Geez, will you stop apologizing? This is about guitars, not about religion
Nice thing btw. But - 9 switching options? Ha - I got 23

I think By all Definitions "Vintage" has to be 30-35 years right? I have an 80's Strat that isn't considered vintage yet...

Yeah, you are definitely correct. But the chicks like hearing the word "vintage", and so it is!

I should have know I couldn't outsmart you rockers.

I actually dreamt about the JP MM last night. Heavy, eh?

 

[Big Poppa]

If you're happy than Im happy!

The old goat in me does chuckle that 70' & 80's CBS Strats are considered vintage and are commanding premium prices.

One of the great differences between women and guitars is that you can try another guitar for awhile with no repercussions....

 

[Quarter]

I'll see your F****r and raise you 2 ALs

 

[Spudmurphy]

Ahhhh Brass hardware!!!!
those were the days when a light guitar was frowned upon.

Vintage huh? what does that make my '36 ?

 

[fogman]

what does that make my '36 ?

ANCIENT!!!!!

 

[SteveB]

Well, it's a nice guitar... but it's no MusicMan.

 

[jamminjim]

uh well...

hey don't sweat it too much I'm still a little F$#%@@ afflicted myself, but that's only untill I get a job and then save up for an AL. I would very much like an Al with rosewood board. The photo is clickable.

 

[robelinda2]
