Strat-O-Sonic™ DV II

i'll take the Vette! you can have all the guitars LOL.

[JeffB]

you started stong Jeff but it's not working anymore. you're going to have a hard time topping that V and punisher skull inlay explorer in my book.

-Mike

Agreed..That V is hard to top..though I'd prefer a different color....black is not my thing...at least with a flame top.

AFAIC, that Murphy I just posted is as good as it gets. That Ultimate Burst I posted is apparently one of only two ever made.

[ErikH]

Those aren't doing anything for me Erik..this one however

Is there a bigger picture of it? It looks sharp.

Funny you say they do nothing for you. The black Strat is the EJ model.

[Davey]

jeff. one day

you will come home and find a letter on your table.


it will read:


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

HAHAHAHA HAHA

-oh i cant breathe-

HAHAHAHAHAHA

with love
Davey

and you will get to your room and see all your guitars are gone

[JeffB]

Beck Quilt top....

[ErikH]

That Murphy and Beck are really nice. Sharp looking tops.

[XSSIVE]

jeff, i have to be honest, the bursts are amazing but they do little for me. once you play a real burst the reissues and such just don't cut it. yeah they look cool and play great but there is still something missing. pretty guitars though, just not my thing i guess. i like my guitars a bit less traditional and a bit on the wild side.

I've played a couple really nice real ones (a 59 and a 56)..and a couple I didn't think were so great (a 60, and I'd guess a 57...goldtop w/ buckers). They all vary, just like new ones.

And yeah, I know I can't please everyone with my GAS attacks

[XSSIVE]

no man, don't get me wrong you usually find a few things that make me drool lol. that V has me looking at my collection trying to decide what i could sell LOL.

oh and check your PMs.

That is a sweet reissue. The '57 is one of my favorites.

Do you like this?



It's mine BTW...lol.

[XSSIVE]

this is a les paul that does it for me. i'm a bit upset i passed on this one...but the Suhr was calling my name!!






-Mike

[JeffB]

Do you like this?



It's mine BTW...lol.

I know it is, and yes I do like that color! I like the "50s" colors...the surf greens, daphne blues, candly apple/fiesta reds, the "vintage" cream on the malmsteen, etc. I was never much for sunbursts or black on strats. I like 'em classic for the time period they came out...old car colors The blues and greens on the HWY1s are just awesome too.

Mike,

PM sent bro. And that is a pretty paula...what is it? Looks like a plain std? premium plus maybe?

BTW...I found some brand new amber Stds with 50s necks online for like $1800 bucks. Guy has 3 of them for sale...he dropped Gibson and is trying to move 'em.

[XSSIVE]

yeah, she's just a 50s neck standard prem. plus but that top is amazing IMO and i LOVE the trans amber color. i was looking high and low for a good deal a while back on a trans amber 50s neck but had no luck. they either had blah tops or some damage (rash etc) or the price was wrong so i got my ebony '99 standard 50s neck and i love it. one day i'll snag a trans amber top but it's not a priority anymore since i have enough pauls for now.

-Mike

[ErikH]

Oh, well, if it's the classics you like, then you'll love this. LOL

-Mike

Yeah these ones I found unfortunately don't have the best tops, if that's a concern. But I'm also beginning to like that color more and more. I think it's the whole Gary Moore thing

Erik,

Perfect!..is that a MIM 50s classic or whatever?

[ErikH]

Perfect!..is that a MIM 50s classic or whatever?

It's MIM. The pics I've been posting are from the Fender site. The part number starts with 013 which indicates MIM and 011 indicates MIA. There's also the American Vintage series which start with 010. Can't remember the MIJ one.
