Smashingpmkns 06/30/20 3:19:26 PM #1:	MiM Fender Vintera 50s Reissue Stratocaster. It plays just as good as most American made Strats but for a third of the price. The soft V shape neck and smaller 7.25 neck radius is something to get used to but I play with my thumb wrapped around most the time anyways so its chill. The pickups are great, might change them out in the future but don't see any reason to now. They have decent output and are hot enough for my liking. I can't upload a pic rn but here's the color I got: https://images.app.goo.gl/kBNH9XYyroV4srK48 MSRP is $899, paid a little over $650 for it and it came with a really nice gig bag. Definitely recommend checking out the Vintera series for any guitarists here looking to get a Fender without spending $1800. My only complaint is the neck is glossy as fuck. Looks like it was dipped in lube but plays great nonetheless lol --- Clean Butt Crew <cite>Smashingpmkns posted [p:941485121] in Finally go...

Definitely improving though I'm only at the stage where I only know a few chords and am learning to switch between them fast without messing up.

RedJackson 07/01/20 9:24:36 PM #28:	Glossy necks are to die for and on a Fender? Sheeeeesh man.. I love Fenders more so because theyre like getting in a Ferrari - I dont have to worry about how it feels or how it will sound. I have complete reliance in a Squier or Fender to do any job. If I get super good Ill probably spoil myself to one.. right now I have two Gibson SGs.. one from 1982 and another one thats a 2011 61 reissue.. This is Excalibur 11 <3 Though that 1982.. theres something about the neck pickup.. its strange, itll sound like a glass tube on any amp. Just brings thing jangly factor of a Fender but with more bulk its strange. Super low frets too.. not jumbo at all, theyre almost trapezoid-ish.

She used to play it a place called Caff Lena in Upstate. I also have a 12 string that I bought myself. I will say though, I am about to start a new job, and I noticed they have a guitar for show hanging up.

But there is one slight tarnish, at some point in the mid 2000's the head broke, and my uncle said he could fix it....which he kinda did, but there is a buzz in one of the stings. :-( It can be fixed, the timing and everything is dishearting....Family stuff wise. Still, I did learn on it, and just the smell of the Wood reminds me of my Mom...to this day. Also, do Lookup Caffe Lena, it is real deal shit. My mom used to do Lenas Hair in the 60's...just as girl stuff. I actually met her a few times, and towards the end as it turns out because I can remember Lina with a neck brace. It must have been right before she passed...as well as my mother.
