Strat lovers? Good MF Stupid Deal today

[Chiogtr4x]

Hey folks, for a real Fender ( assuming MIM), this is a good deal and IMO beautiful too!
I have had Fat '50's pickups in my '97 Tex-Mex Strat since 2000, and love them- clean or dirty

That is a solid deal considering the roasted neck and fat 50's pickups.

 

[misterdontmove]

WOW!!!!!

 

[John C]

I agree that's a grood deal on these. I have one of them but mine's the surf green version (for whatever reasons my cell phone's camera can't capture the color well and it comes off being a bit "bluer" in the pictures than in person):

 

[ChicknPickn]

Nothing like starting the day with GAS.

must… Have… Fiesta… red… strat… must… resist …

 

[frank a]

I DONT need another strat. I don’t need another strat. I don’t need another strat. Ugh

 

[Lou Tencodpees]

Looks like a great deal. I've always dug Fiesta Red and only had a Warmoth Strat body in that color. Somehow didn't quite hit my expectations. It and Surf Green are two favorite classic solid colors of mine and conspicuously absent from my collection.

 

[Chiogtr4x]

What's scary, is,
I actually have the $$ ( a real rarity) to buy this.

But constant 'fluctuating household $$ issues'
( aka, my life, for 65 years!), my common sense tells me,
"NO WAY!, DON'T!"

* but this is one beautiful Stratocaster! And a great player, I would think

The problem with Strats is, there are so damn many of them out there that there's always a good deal on one somewhere. That's how I would up with six. And really I'm not much of a Strat guy.

Nowadays I've learned to keep my powder dry until I find something I absolutely can't live without.

 

[hotraman]

Yes... that is a good price.
But I have a Jazzmaster and a 1999 Fender Tele Nashville with a B bender. It's my cure for Strat fever when it rises up.

 

[Dan German]

I guess that’s a pretty good deal these days, but I’m glad I stocked up on the guitars I need before the time came that it took nearly $1000 CDN to get a “Stupid Deal” on a MIM Fender.

 

[stormsedge]

Aaawwwww...I'm full up on Strats. BUT, I did play one of these (surf green) at the GC a while back and it was a great feeling/sounding guitar.

 

[FendrGuitPlayr]

Good deal!

 

[Chiogtr4x]

Aaawwwww...I'm full up on Strats. BUT, I did play one of these (surf green) at the GC a while back and it was a great feeling/sounding guitar.

My buddy ( Beatles nut) has an older one in Sonic Blue that I always play when I come over to jam ( he has a million guitars and amps)
It is super comfy, great setup & tone

 

[Controller]

I don't even like Strats and I'm tempted!

 

[Chiogtr4x]

I don't even like Strats and I'm tempted!

Fiesta Red is just an intoxicating color, and that dark tint on the neck really compliments, IMO

( but I admit, a Strat is my fave, all-purpose electric)

 

[W.L.Weller]

Good thing it's not Candy Apple Red (or maybe it was Metallic Red?) with a painted headstock. An ex-girlfriend had one that, to my memory, was the best sounding/looking Strat I've ever played. (note: objects in memory may have been less cool than they appear)



And I've just recently reminded myself what's fun about S-types (built-in spring reverb!)

 

[Rbert0005]

I got mine at GC, they had the sale before MF.
Glad I did it has become my #1 ever over my American Strats.
Yes I changed the pick guard.

 

[Peegoo]

If you're a Mark Knopfler fan, that MF deal was the one to pounce on.
