Reliced the old-fashioned way. The body is a '62 AVRI refinished in burgundy mist eleven years ago. The original neck was replaced with a quartersawn Warmoth Total Vintage w/Brazilian rosewood fretboard & corian nut.

The flash kinda blows it, but the pickguard, knobs, & pickup covers have aged to a nice cream color.

A 1958 Strat I acquired by accident, apparently a fairly rare guitar? It appears to have been repainted by its previous owner.

If it wasn't because i couldn't see a signature, I would say it was a Richie Sambora Sig. Strat.

2. Strat assembly, MIM Fat Strat body/electronics, Allparts maple/Ebony neck

Okay, I don't have this guitar anymore, but I'm showing it because I wish I still had it. It was an awesome guitar.

It's a Schecter Strat that I put together about 24 years ago. What a great guitar!

Thanks! Funny thing is I was shopping for a Classic Player ’60s Stratocaster in
Daphne Blue when I saw this USA one that someone had foolishly traded in, my lucky day. The color got me. It's actually yellowed a bit and can appear a little more green in certain light.

That does not look like a guitar that has aged the old fashioned way, it kinda looks like a poor relic. I can not imagine a guitar aging THAT much in 11 years. also you might want to tighten up ur trem claw screws just a tad, ur bridge looks like its floating pretty high.

So you're saying the guy I bought it from lied to me, or that I'm an idiot, or both? "Poor relic"? Thanks for the kind words.

Old Cane · February 27th, 2009, 05:03 PM

Well, I thought this was show us your strats thread, not run down someone else's strat thread.

Brew, we don't know the guy you bought it from but it doesn't matter for this thread. Back to your picture, I really like that color and think I'm doing a bass in it soon.

Here are mine:
