I have a fender fat strat (mexican) which i customized with a seymour duncan invader in the bridge, which i wan2 replace because it’s to muddy and two Dimazio Area 58s (one in the middle and one in the neck.) I wan2 put a nice single coil in the bridge with a vintage sound and a little bit of a rock bite. Any suggestions?

I am guitar shopping but know little about fender other than I usually like vintage fender guitars. I know they have some NICE guitars but I know they have some TERRIBLE guitars too. I found a strat on Craigslist for 275 that I am going to try out but wanted others opinions on it. It was made in Mexico. A link to a pic is below. What do you think of the sound and quality of this guitar? I hope it’s good! I will be disappointed if it feels/sounds like a Fender Squire.

Is the vintage 7.25 radius more round or flat than the newer strats?

does anyone know if vintage tuners (1960′s style tuners) will fit on a new 2008 American Strat? or will I need to do some drilling and add a string tree? Also if anyone one has ever tried this than let me know how you like it. Thanks

Okay, so I’m 15 years old BUT, I have been playing guitar since I was 5 years old, and the only guitars that I own are a squire bullet, (which I hate) and an epiphone hummingbird. (which I love) So i have decided to save my money and get a nice quality electric guitar. I have had my heart set an the fender american vintage ’62 strat reissue ever since I first layed eyes on it at the guitar shop. Then I picked it up and played it, and I just knew that I had to have it. The tone is just PERFECT for my style of music. The only problem is that I can’t get a job because I’m only 15. And my parents aren’t loaded, so they can’t just go and buy me a 2 thousand dollar guitar. So does anybody have any ideas on how I can earn and save up $2000 relatively quickly? Thanks in advance.

i want a replica of john frusciante’s (from red hot chili peppers) 1962 fender strat (3 tone sunburst). it has a very beat-up vintage appeal to it & i love it. here’s a picture for what i mean by “beat-up” and “vintage” look:

http://www.jftab.com/img/gear/guitar/frusciante-stratocaster-1962.jpg

by saying vintage, i am mainly talking about that beat up body & neck of the guitar with the worn out edges from natural (or synthetic for a strat to buy) wear and tear. the other vintage parts (pickguard, pickups, knobs, etc.) can be bought. i just need the actual body & neck. any suggestions on where i can find this guitar?

new guitars (unused) are fine along with vintage guitars. an exact replica of the john frusciante strat would, of course, be better.

10 points for best answer.

thanks guys.

I have a Squier by Fender Stratocaster it’s a 2006 model of the vintage ’57 in other words it is wired and modeled like a ’57 fender strat, even though some say there is a slight difference in tone with the two knobs, I just dont freaking hear any differece between 0-10 on either knob no matter what pickups are on, can someone please help me???

Hi

Can anyone tell me if a vintage fender strat pickups (1970) are any good ?
Are these special in anyway or are they just expensive because they come from an old fender ?

Are modern pickups better ?
If ‘no’ then why the with all the technology cant we make better pickups in this day an age in China than in the US 30 years ago ?

Thanks !
