Tone with mine is much better. Mix between a tele and strat. LOVE my guitar. Lots of voice, tone and very usuable over many styles. It is and always be a crap shoot with guitars, that is what evens the playing field…the more you spend the less likely a dud though.. Installed a couple of Epiphone humbuckers and pots and love it. Notes more true than my Gibson es I bought new in But…I would never get rid of my Gibson my love.
I have to say that there are a lot of variables in ANY guitar. My very inexpensive Jazzmaster is my favorite. Now my regular Stratocaster is better looking but it just seems to miss that something special. But guitars are each an individual and just need to be looked at that way. Just my opinion, and we know what those are like. Mine is having its 20th birthday Aug 25 , almost old enough to go to the bar. Can you date month of production by the serial number?
Planets lined up and finally could put in an order in, waited 70 days and it found its way to me! I was in awe on how it felt, the finishing touches on it were to die for. It sounded and felt great!! Was selling as a used 11 year old guitar that was played 10 times by previous owner, basically still new!!! I ate rice for a while after purchasing that guitar, I was tight on money but thought I gotta take this one home with me!!!
Best thing I did!!!! Still playing it, after these years, has a second fret job on it and would never ever sell it!!! I wanna know whats the radius and type of neck is on that guitar. Also is it nitro or poly, and what are the pickups on it. Would appreciate some help. Pick ups will be fender standards which where a general wind low out put single coil. Often found all the same out put.
The only ref u might find is a basic spec on that yr model. As they are not a guitar worth keeping a log of parts and wiring. It may have middle tone hooked into bridge as well or no tone bridge pick up. If you really love it and get good tone great. But use your tone and volume just setting 10 you are missing so much more a nice setup guitar will produce. Intonation string Height above pick ups good seating in the nut of the string gauge you use. You can get some great sound. Yet intonation never adjusted and neck over bow or under can cause buzz and frets to pop.
Nut binding on wrong string size is another cheap easy fix. Get a good guitar tech to do a string change and set up for your playing style. As he will Also see how pots are and pick ups 5 way mim switches die early and plug being very thin do tend to either get very loose or bend out from guitar lead. With nut and pick up swap over next then locking set of tuners. I have often wondered if it would be better to upgrade the components to get the American Stat quality of sound or just buy up to the American Strat and sell the Mex….
It is a rather heavy guitar but has a nice feel…. Set of tex mex fender pick ups a set of fender locking tuners the pick up springs throw away get some pick tubing to replace. As long as frets are ok. Tex mex are better priced these days and there are a hotter set. But it will give you a SRV Texas blues tone. Get a tech at a good guitar shop to set up and check neck for truss rod adjust. If nut get that done as easy to stuff up. Or if they sell you the gear they may give great deal to put together and set to your string gauge on the nut put correct string to pick up pole spaceing and height off the neck.
Hope it helps. As I just love the looks the feel the smell of nitro on a good guitar. I also hand do the nut slots at the players pref and string choice. I have a mexico strat number MN Supposed to be a Barrelhouse Limited Edition. Does anyone know more about this Limited Edition?
