I imagine a cowboy type with a fat belt buckle had this guitar

The deed has been done. Glad I got it. This thing is incredible.

Ouch!! I felt the pain just reading that. Is that the one that got away?

I’m aware of the polarizing effect a heavy relic has on the masses. I will say this relic job is a bit extreme but I’ve played other custom shop strats that are “not worn out” and nothing has come close to the playability and feel this guitar had. Maybe all that wear is what’s contributing to...

!!Update!! Fender reached out with the shop traveler sheet. I’m still having trouble decoding the neck truss rod. It states: “50’s OBS USE 7717812000” Also come to find the electronics: 250K 10% TAPER SPLIT STRAT FAT 50'S NK REL 50'S STRAT RWRP REL 69 STRAT REL At this point all signs...

I fired off an email to them this morning. I’ll wait to see what they say. I’ll keep the forum updated and thank you for the help!

The sn kinda checks out…

This is what I want to believe but there was no “shopfloor traveller sheet” in the case showing the specifications.

this was the red flag I wanted to discuss with the forum!

I was browsing the vault at guitar center yesterday when a 57 heavy relic custom shop strat caught my eye. Not a huge fan of the relic treatment but this guitar had a lot going for it. The feel of the neck and buttery smooth frets we’re unlike any other strat I’ve played. I plugged it into my...

The just released the B-Side entitled Texas Moon. Super groovy.

Rah Devils! -Doc

I like it! My small recommendation is to use single slot nickel screws on the pickguard to complete the 50s look. Nice tele!

My choice for a good hole in the wall burger spot would be Burgers Never Say Die! https://www.yelp.com/biz/burgers-never-say-die-los-angeles-2 The non vegan options at BurgerLords is also pretty good. Tons of good record shops in these areas as well...

I grew up in Montebello. Would get Arry's after baseball practice. My buddies dad owned Arry's rival, The Golden Ox. Small world

This was my first bass and it made me fall in love with the instrument. I have since picked up an American Original P Bass but still find myself playing this paranormal Jazz Bass more often. It is extremely balanced and comfortable to play. No neck dive and the neck is probably one of the most...

These badboys just came in the mail after a much anticipated wait. I could not be happier with them! Dropped in easily without any issue. Breathed new life into my Squier Paranormal Jazz bass! Way more output and clarity than the stock pups. I might actually enjoy this bass more than my American...

Love the Bucee's Mints can. What is that?

I've got a similar story to you! What branch were you in? I was a Hospital Corpsman in the Navy. I'm using my GI Bill now for school. Finished my MBA at USC when I got out and now I'm getting a second masters in business analytics at UC Irvine. All paid for by Uncle Sam.

The documentary also has a killer soundtrack!

Marketing hype or not. The smell and feel of my Warmoth roasted flame maple is unlike anything else. And for the better.

Beautiful! My first real guitar was an American Special Telecaster. It’ll get better with age!

Recently picked up this amazing completely rebuilt Fender Champion 600 off craigslist. It pairs so well with my recently finished Sonic Blue partscaster. Sharing my excitement with the community! The amp was completely rewired by hand to a 5F1 circuit with GE NOS tubes. The previous owner even...
