xilddx Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 (edited) I've had a lot of Strats over the years, Fender USA, Fender Japan, Jap Squiers, this one is amazing considering its price. The only Strat I have owned that I preferred was a Jap Fender but it wouldn't stay in tune. No issues with this at all, stays in tune, sounds sweet and just as a Strat should, plays very nicely and the neck is lovely. It's in mint condition. You get the original white PG too. I have just realised I have a Ritter soft case in decent condition that I will include. Pickup preferred in Ealing, West London. I am sure I can get a box if you really, really want it posted, but it will take a few days, let me know. Reason for selling is I want a Hohner G3T and I have no cash after buying a Mac [i]Squier Classic Vibe 50s Strat The Classic Vibe Stratocaster ’50s provides unmistakable ’50s-era Fender® vibe and tone. The alder body has a period-correct Two-color Sunburst finish; the vintage-tint gloss-maple neck has a maple fingerboard with 21 medium-jumbo frets and a modern 9.5” radius. That long-familiar tone comes from a custom set of alnico III single-coil pickups—clear and bright, with terrific sustain even in crunch mode. Custom staggered polepieces provide improved string-to-string balance.[/i] [b][size=3]£185[/size][/b] Here's a little song I recorded with it ..

I just thought I should check one out and it blew me away so I bought it. I hate the satin neck Fenders and adore glossy honey necks. The nut is cut beautifully too and looks like a real big boy Fender. It's actually like playing a real Fender, got that lovely bouncy feel, only the headstock gives it away really, and the original PG which is too thick to be period correct. Great build quality and sound, great finish, all round it's brilliant! But I really want a G3T to match my new B2A, I love those Hohners
TDM Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 Very tempted by this, though I wouldn't be able to collect it...

Saturday is the only day I can get to them though. Would you be happy to organise and pay for a courier, Interparcel perhaps? Cheers, N
thatgrantboy Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 Free bump here, just to say just how darn nice that tobacco burst looks with a black pickguard, and how well the honey neck looks with it all. What a stunner.

Dood Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 Yeah really - I was Gassing for the very same model on eBay the other day - unfortunately there was something else I needed and thus cannae have - unless I find something to sell, trade or a granny to mortgage!

essexbasscat Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 Astounded this is still here. These guitars are astonishing value for money. Anyone that's looking for a decent strat would do well to consider this. Mine's a peach and plays like a dream. Have a bump on me. If I collected 6'ers I'd have this off you N
Ancient Mariner Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 Now if that was the white with gold scratch plate I'd have been struggling to resist a bit more!

[/quote] It was a choice between that one and this. But the gold PG would have been replaced with a dark tort. This one felt better, more bounce.
Dood Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 Thank you to whoever bought this beauty of a guitar. I have no need for a Strat, but OMG I was close to buying it! Very nice guitars - and I think the black PG made it spesh!
