    Super edition Strat re-fret

    Forgive me Father for I have sinned. I have just re-fretted my "vintage" 1984 Super Edition Strat, with medium jumbo wire and re-radiused the neck from 7.25 to 9.5". It plays and sounds great. I put the original U p/ups back in (I had a set of SD Alnico Pro IIs in). My defence is that this...

    Surely not a pre-law suit tele!?!

    This seems to show the headstock used to have a script logo. Is the description a tad optimistic...

    84 Strat ST70 fret question

    Hi folks I think I'm going to have to do a re-fret on my ST70 Super Edition Strat. The neck is a 7.25" radius, small h/stock etc. The frets have had a pretty poor levelling by a tech for the previous owner. So I can't get a feel for how high the frets were originally. (I will be taking out...

    Recommend a UK courier please ...

    Hi Folks, I have to send a guitar up to Scotland. I was going to send it by Parcel Force 24 Hours Next Day. But I have mixed views about Parcel Force. Who do you recommend, and what has your experience been with couriers? Thanks in advance. Steve

    What colour was my '84 Super Edition Strat when it was born?

    Hi Folks I have been working on my black super edition strat. It has an L serial no. When I had the scratch plate off to put the original U pickups back in, I saw that under the black it is Candy Apple Red. This one has the all black neck, which I suspect was first manufactured to be a...

    Vintage strats are going cheap

    Is it me, or are Tokai Japanese strats from the mid 80s going for a song on eBay at the moment? If I didn't already have one too many, I'd be snapping up some of them. One went for ?127 the other day :o

    MIJ ES130 VNT flamed maple top + Hiscox Pro II GS hard case

    Sadly I need to sell some of my guitars, so I have picked my beautiful ES130 VNT because it is to all intents and purposes new and unplayed! http://s1186.photobucket.com/albums/z362/mydogiszen/Guitars/ It comes with a top of the range Hiscox Liteflite Pro II GS case, which you can see...

    Strings to minimise fretware?

    Dear All When my guitar tech (who is the real deal btw :D ) set up my ES130, he asked me about my playing style. He insisted on watching me play the guitar before allowing me to take it home. As it was an ES, I was playing jazzy sort of stuff. He complimented me on how lightly I was playing...

    Strat special edition h/bucker on ebay

    If I could get away with another guitar in the house (she's starting to notice!) I'd bid on this. It looks really interesting http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TOKAI-SUPER-EDITION-STRAT-RARE-DOUBLE-HUMBUCKERS-/140468696716?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item20b496368c ATB Steve

    Scratch plate or no scratch plate?

    So here's the dilemma. Do I fix the scratch plate to my new (to me) LS1000 or leave it off? It looks cool off, but will I still think so when I've scratched the wood :roll:

    Nitro finish on es 130 vnt

    I have the ES130 and have read that it has a nitro lacquer finish. My guitar tech said he didn't think it does. Apart from destructive testing, is there any information which will settle this one way or another?
