UNPLANNED DOWNTIME: 12th Oct 23:45
NGD No longer a Strat virgin
What's Hot
Following on from my earlier thread, I’ve just picked up my first Strat.
It’s an MIJ ST-62 from 93/4. The previous owner stripped the poly finish and refinished in worn daphne blue nitro and a very nice job he made of it imo.
Wasn’t sure I’d get on with the 7.25” radius but the neck is gorgeous, described by the seller as a chunky C it’s probably the comfiest fender neck I’ve ever played. No issues with bends past the 12th fret which is one area I was concerned with. Lovely dark rosewood board and frets are in great condition.
Haven’t done a full plugged in test yet but first impressions from my katana mini are very good.
I think the pickups are alnico going by the photos. The switch could do with some contact cleaner as it’s a bit noisy and it doesn’t have a trem arm so need to figure out what type will fit.
No idea of wood type or anything else, think they’re usually basswood or alder?

The arm will be a M5 thread.

Nice looking guitar you’ve got there. Enjoy.
