Eh, I'm not a fan of gold hardware, nor matching headstock finishes on Fenders.

Re: Gearhead Thread
I’ve tried. My uncle played. Not super great, but he could play it. The string work would’ve come with a lot of work (couldn’t totally wrap my head around the tuning) but then factor in all the pedals and it’s just over the top. I have serious respect for steel players. Same for the B3 players that can substitute their pedal work for a bass. I don’t care for that particular substitution, but it takes one talented motherfucker to do it and do it well.tragabigzanda wrote:Have you played one before, wease?

Re: Gearhead Thread
I've had this Strat for almost 2 weeks now and I absolutely love it. I've been playing for a long time and have never owned one. Always a Gibson guy; coke vs pepsi and whatnot. Only now do I realize how stupid I have been. My Les Paul is almost a family member, but I haven't been able to put this thing down. Re-learning Hendrix songs has been the most fun, so far.

Full meaning including a snare, hi hat, ride and preferably crash along with the basic toms and bass. Could probably bump it up to 1500.

Yeah I’ve been looking at the pearl export series, seems like a good basic starter set.
