For various reasons I'd let all my guitars, with single coil pickups, go.
Even my semi with P90s had been sold.
Pretty stupid for someone with a passion for surf and 60s guitar music.
Didn't have a lot of cash but after a lot of 'net perusal, I went out today, to my local, Aire Valley Guitars.
Their stock was a little depleted, being in the post Xmas, crap weather, no cash, part of the year.
But they always have a good range of Fenders, mostly teles and strats.
Well my eyes were drawn to a fiesta red strat, with a maple fingerboard and nice, aged, cream pickups and knobs.
Turned out it was a Classic Series '50s model, with a soft V neck profile and 7.5 inch fret board radius.
So we put it through a Blues Junior, upped the spring reverb and I was away.
Lovely clarity and sparkle with a good amount of body and that classic Fender, single-coil sound.
Add some shimmering whammy bar and it's a kind of heaven.
Just another Mexican strat, I suppose.
Well yes but it's well made, looks very nice, sounds vintage and plays like a nice strat should.
All that for not much cash and I got it for a knock down price.
Cool.
