I traded some junk for a 2006 HT strat.My other strat is a Squier Bullet.

Too bad you don't like Sunbursts....

Congrats! Always good to have choices. That new one's a looker for sure.

Thanks for the posts guys! Yes, the hardtail is a 2006 American series.I got it used but it is in mint condition.

Sounds so awesome through my Vox AC15CC1 !

Nice guitar. You can find good deals sometimes on those hardtails. Some people just won't touch em' ! Their loss !!!

Is that Vox a VR30 ? I have one and use it for rehearsals, great amps, very AC30 sounding and LOUD !

I'm kinda interested in what kind of junk it was and if i could trade some of my junk for one?

pchilson · April 22nd, 2008, 10:52 PM

Wow! I like that hardtail. What words would you use when comparing it to the Bullet?
Like Old Cane says, I wish I could get stuff like that for my old junk. Good find.

gpower · April 23rd, 2008, 01:06 AM

I'd prefer Hardtails...I never use the trems anyway. That is a real pretty Strat.

Stratsrgood · April 23rd, 2008, 12:22 PM

Well done!, I love my Strat's and they all have one thing in common-5 springs and the bridge hard on the top.
I think they sound better that way and when I get round to it a "partscaster" with a hardtail will be my next project.
I like the way Walter Trout plays (and sounds) and notice his guitars are always hardtails.

Stuco · April 23rd, 2008, 01:52 PM

Are you gonna keep the bullet?

viking · April 23rd, 2008, 03:27 PM

Both nice looking geetars !

Stratsrgood , I have only seen Walter play 2 strats , the old -73 , that ( believe it or not !) used to be white.....I guess its retired now , the last two times I ve been to see him , he used the Sunburst Hardtail .Probably the one that was formerly his backup....?

Stratsrgood · April 23rd, 2008, 03:51 PM

Hi Viking, yes I've only seen Walter with 2 Strats. I think the "aged" white one has been left at home as he likes it too much to risk losing it!
The sunburst looks very new- but I suppose it would against a guitar that has been played almost every day for 30 years (and been refretted 14 times)
It would be great if we could all put in that much playing, I think the MaskedRider might just do it with his new gear!
